I was at an Alleycat bike race last weekend (illegal street race). It was for 
single speed bikes only so it attracted lots of non-messenger fixed gear 
afficionados. 

They dress like messengers, wear messenger bags and ride brakeless "fixies" 
around town. They're called "fakengers" (fake messengers, get it?) a name even 
the poseurs have adopted with pride.

I thought this fakenger's bike looked cool:

For you bikies out there, check out the clearance between the tire and 
downtube. Eek! 

Hope you enjoy. Comments welcome.

Cheers,
frank
