The fixed gear has officially jumped the shark – no really

Mongoose Fixed Gear

We thought the bars-as-wide-as-grips phenomenon was bad. We thought the Aerospokes we bad. Even the 650c up front seemed like the end.

When Walmart starts selling fixed gears for $150 I think it’s finally over. Even though I no longer ride a fixed gear, it’s impossible to throw a stone in this town and not hit one locked up to a rack. I wonder if my prediction that old steel Italian road frames with period correct Campy will become the next fad. God I hope not.
