Well anyone that was involved with it "close to the beginning" I think called it. The fixie craze enabled hipsters which seem to me to already be wannabe hippies to have functional and trendy and urban and hip and whatever other stereotype they need bicycles that functioned. There's no question that a fixed gear is more efficient than the broke ass rides they had originally, you know?
I mean they'd be all over those 3-speeds that Ted found. But those bikes needed work and weren't purty. So this came along with the velocity deep v's and the cool anodized parts.
Anyways... there will always be trends. The sport compact car scene, snap bracelets, fixed gears. I walked into all of these trends though, and have enjoyed my time with them. I still greatly aspire to get another SCC (although I dunno if an EVO could really be considered such with its reputation), I just ordered a case of grey market snap bracelets (don't worry though, I'll saran wrap my wrists before I go slapping myself to an arterial bloodbath)), and I just re-built my fixed gear, and by that I mean took my "gotta get into this trend ASAP conversion bike", and built it into a pretty cool (if I may say so) track-able fixed gear.
The question is... whats next (besides Retro-Direct (which I called)) and how can I profit off of it?
