Tiny article in Spin magazine on SS/FG
I got a free subscription to Spin somehow and flipping through it I notcied this small article on SS/FG. Anyone else see this?
I'll scan it here in a bit, it's a really small article though, and they don't go into detail at all.

saw this on another forum. my only thought was
"IT'S A PHENOM"
edit: now that I can actually see the photos, I recognize the girl and bike in the top center. It's Jeneane from King Kog. She and Jason stopped by my work and dropped off some shirts for the Oakland Scrape.
it's a Gan Well Pro

It's a phenom indeed. There's gonna be an article in the Wall Street Journal sometime in the next few weeks about fixed gear riding. THE WALL STREET JOURNAL. So....all you WSJ readers keep your eyes peeled, ok?

"If you wanted one a couple of years ago, you had to get an old ten-speed and convert it yourself."

looks more like a fashion profile than something anything close to substance.
wouldn't expect too much more on a artical about bikes (sports?) in a music magazine. i also have not read spin in about 15yrs so not sure what its looking like these days.

I'm kinda liking that "SPIN GENIUS THING" sticker. I think they're talking about me personally, rather than the mag or SS/FG.

Could someone finally please explain this "fixed gear" thing to me please? Apparantly, a bike with a fixed gear in the rear is some recent new thing. Is this in any way related to "track" "cycling" where guys would "ride" on a "hardwood" "surface" "for" prizes? Thanks, I'm new here.

haha yeah, i recognize a lot of those folks. i think there's been another article about fixed in spin cause Randy had his photo taken (probably by the same person who took those) and was in the mag but he's not in this article.

Truth be told, I'm more interested in whether or not "...Jay-Z, the Notorious B.I.G., and Busta Rhymes attend[ed] the same school?"
Heh.
Heh.

Funny how they take a photo in front of King Kog of one of somebody who works there, and then get the blurb from NYC bikes. And a stupid blurb at that.
