Agreed. But unlike razors, fixies have been around a lot longer than the fad, and they will still be around when the fad fades.Like all fads, fixed gears will die out in the mainstream. It is going to happen, eventually.

Right, that's why I said in 'mainstream form'. I remember going to SF when I was young and seeing dudes on fixed gears mashing hills. Now-a-days you see a lot more of them all over the place.Agreed.

It might be easier to scam fixie ridersThat's what Nemesis Project did, he's like full fixie it seems like.
that's hilariousIt might be easier to scam fixie riders
To each his/her own. I have my old xc frame that I made into a commuter bike, she's strong and has mostly bmx parts so it almost fit the description you have. I rip around just fine, sounds like you reserve your freestyling to your bmx bike like I do.fixed is fun, a bike like this is awesome cuz you can haul ass from place to place and still hop curbs. im not into the freestyle part but its nice to have a bombproof bmx-like bike that can get you places.
yaa, im not eloquent, and? if your gay acting, or gay looking and your riding bmx or mtbmx, your probably gonna get razzed a bit, so get used to it and go get a mani pedi and listen to some phoenix or something....how eloquent
Brooklyn's kinda threatening to do the same thing a bit. But like someone else said, if they can sell fixed gears to pay the bills to put out the other rad bikes they make, I'm totally okay with it.That's what Nemesis Project did, he's like full fixie it seems like.
Take your ignorance elsewhere. May I suggest...yaa, im not eloquent, and? if your gay acting, or gay looking and your riding bmx or mtbmx, your probably gonna get razzed a bit, so get used to it and go get a mani pedi and listen to some phoenix or something....
Hahaha, tears? Really? I guess maybe the emo-hipster set would probably cry if someone called them out for jumping on the trendwagon...and it would be pretty funny to see the eye makeup run as they walked away crying with the bike they don't know how to ride...I'm not going to take part in the fixie debate as time has proved these never lead to anything and most times end in tears..
..but I just wanted to add blk mrkt should've chosen the name a bit more carefully as NSF already exists in the form of a crew of English street bmx'ers and their bmx shop and series of videos

not often, cuz they're going so slow and low.how often are these fixie stunt riders getting flats and tacoing wheels?
It's a fad and nothing more than an accessory to an emo hairdo and a messenger bag. You know it. Just because some guys decide it's the next new challenge doesn't mean squat other than they found a fixie before a unicycle.
this post...was AWESOMESeems like a fixie isn't the perfect tool for anything other than following a current trend and getting people hurt. Just look at that goofy ass fad of running narrow bars. Yeah let's take a bike with one gear, which by definition you will need to be standing up and cranking hard on, and take away all the leverage to do so. Brilliant.

If making things harder is the goal, go grab a motorcycle and tailwhip that beyotch. Or go ride a horse and slide some handrails.
I can see owning a dj frame company and trying something new. But he's catering to a segment that's still a little goofy. That would actually be a fun commuter bike. But it would be even better with some gears, the ability to coast and some brakes.........but oh yeah......that would be something different that actually makes sense.
Bikes of all kinds are cool. I just have a hard time thinking that a company so based in dirtjumping, from bmx to 26 would go out and start making something like this if they were selling all the hardtails they wanted. That's a guess though. I don't know Carter so maybe I'm wrong.
Horses.........handrails.........you heard it here first.
did you have a messenger bag?i just got a fixie last week and i hopped up a curb this morning. can i still be part of this forum?
