Tri-spoke pointlessly goes on the front for the real victims.

Cue arty pic of bike.

I ride it the most out of my bikes.

What a terrible waste of a nice saddle.

Also, a bike raked out like that must make the most ponderous fixie of all time. Scary.

the odd r-sys has broken - wheras it's more a case of the odd rev-x HASN'T broke (prob cos the owner valued their life and consigned them to display use only)

What about knuckle tats?
