Do you think the gold plated 4 million spoked wheels are compulsory?

All that 'bling' and they still use 1 piece cranks. I'd get a set of gold plated Profiles in there asap 😉

Very good point. Hadnt thought of that.

And does anyone know what that thing is sticking out from the front axle on the bottom picture? Looks like a pseudo exhaust.

I'm struggling to spot any brakes, which makes me think they might be fixies maybe..

Isn't the thing sticking out a stand?

Probably a back-pedal brake.

It's either a mock exhaust or they're to out your feet on when you're not pedalling. It'd need something to keep it up if it was a stand. [i]And[/i] he's got a bandana wrapped round the tubes to prevent bar-spin strikes.

I am torn between feeling it's probably quite cool and wondering whether thinking it looks silly makes me a racist. I'm sure he doesn't care either way. 🙂

These bikes are awesome!

They'll be using a coaster brake I think.

Yes that is a fake exhaust.

I like low rider bikes, there is something marvellously redundant about them. Some of them look ace too. Although this one is an example of stylistic collision upon stylistic collision. With an integrated Game Boy:
