Now all the kids can go straight from BUILD-A-BEAR to BUILD-A-FIXIE. That’s right. Go to their website. Pick your favorite colors. Get your fixie in the mail. Of course it’s shitty parts. But now being cool is as easy as shopping at American Apparel….oh wait!
ps. Anyone else find it funny that the company called Repbulic has a bike called Aristotle. I wonder if they know that Plato actually wrote the Republic, not Aristotle.
I wrote the Republic
THE REPUBLIC IS ABOUT SOCRATES NOT ARISTOTLE BITCHES.
their bikes are not all that bad, i have one and though the components may not be top notch, its gets the job done. besides since when did riding a bike mean you needed to be a twinkied gear dork to enjoy a decent ride.
You don’t need to be a gear dork to enjoy the ride.
The point is that when fashion outweighs function on something you many times trust your life, it’s a joke.
If they didn’t spend the cash powder-coating shitty components, they could probably put some reliable parts on those bikes at that price. But that isn’t why those bikes exist. They exist to offer a low-budget solution to a bike that “looks cool”, not “functions cool”
