Oops, that jumbled up sentence makes no sense at all, but you get the point.

You make a pretty good point. Also, thanks for that transforming bike link. There seem to be quite a few differnt designs for those floating around.

Eric, the fixie trend may well have jumped the shark with a retailer like Urban Outfitters getting in on the action. Hopefully, many of those fixie kids will continue to ride as the trend passes its peak though.

I have been riding a track bike on the road since the late 80s and I don't intend to stop anytime soon. I never imagined back then that I would see a day fixed gear bikes all over the place. The fact that track bikes have become so trendy is still hard for me to believe.

Anyhows, I also found this old link, Another take on recumbent/upright transforming bikes.

I guess since "newsboy" was taken, perhaps they felt a need to ignore the unmistakable heritage of the heavyweight Schwinns we know so well?

Pegs on the rear? Real friends ride on the handlebars where they block the wind, and a real peg setup is one each front and rear, on the same side.
