I’m with the berry here, I think putting the bracelet on a hub is cheesy at best. The worst “original touch” ever. I was thinking about putting something on there when I was building my wheels but the lance bracelet is so damn commonplace that it killed the whole idea for me.

You should have put the umbilical cord of your firstborn child on there.

[Elderbear]

That’d be about as original as it gets.

[Lucky_if_thats_possible]

I’ve wanted one of those for a while. Still don’t seem to have the drive to order one though. $3.50 is a bit much though.

i’ve owned 2 HTFU bracelets and they both broke in rather unspectacular ways.

there was a white speedvagen (geared) at my cross race yesterday. so gorgeous. also saw a sachs cross bike, same model he made for his team. boing.

I was having snacks at the apartment of the people who live above me and they have framed placenta prints on the wall of their living room! That is as original as it gets.[/quote]

some people barbecue/bronze/cast that shit. I knew a guy who had one like, dried and hanging in his garage dreamcatcher style with all kinds of shit hooked onto it.

What a fucking Monday of a Monday I had, anyhow here’s a few more pics…

Soma is doing a mixtie

The GT we’ll love to hate

Weird expensive English bicycle style device

Brompton folder. Talked to these folks for quite a while, we may become a dealer.

New Felt Curbside, yep that bar is 31.8 all the way. Tarck as fruck.

The TK2 got an updated paintjob

The fabled TK1 will actually be available this year.

[EuroJorch]

And a few more…

My boss and I had a few beers watching

These guys battle it out. Sorry didn’t get any good action shots, too busy ringing the bell and pounding Dales Old Chub

[Larry_Winget]

@EuroJosh

@NitroPye

Easier to get on and off, nice for commuting or being old? The little card said it had more “aggressive” geo than the mixties of the seventies.

The use is obvious, but the market is questionable.
