Thread A or B? to gay or not too gay?

High? it's very nice to meet you nice folks.... My name is Harry I live in SE1

Thread A:
Do you have to be gay to ride fixed, or can anyone do it?

Thread B:
I'm trying to find out Something about a frame brought to England by a friend from Japan in the early 80's.... The frame is painted a glittering metallic red there is a small sticker at the top of the down tube that reads " YOSHIDA MUSASHINO JIMBOX SPICA" with smaller print between each word reading "cyclemate, cyclo salon, sport cycle, city cycle" with each small category possibly relating to each larger word (i.e. SPICA city cycle) There are stickers on the front of the head tube and top of the seat tube that read " S2 Scorpion Frame No.2 made by AL" and a sticker on the seat tube near the BB that reads " CHAMPION No.2, Chrome Molyboen Steel Butted Tubes, Tange Industries LTD"







I don't believe there was ever any other manufacturers logos on the frame but I can't be sure as my brother rode the bike for a while in the 90's and could of removed.

The dropouts are stamped Shimano SF and the lug work / details look like this ....









The bike was built up by a guy in Japan for the friend to bring as a gift. The bike was specked with Shimano 600, Campagnola , Sugino Most of which is still on the bike now including original BB.

Other bits are cut down Profile bars (old) and MTB parts I had already apart from the wheels £120, brake lever £12,tires & tubes £28 thanks Gary Edwards (Camberwell) Mavic cranks are 170mm but have not been any problem apart from toe overlap....





I'd also like to know contacts for best companies that could help with any of the following:
reproduce the above stickers
remove braze ons
make alterations to frame
re-spray

Dose anyone have a reliable technic for removing stickers (not lacquered over) without damage them so they can then be scanned?

I only really need answers to Thread B, but feel free to respond to Thread A if:

*YOU spend to much of your time cussing people who you are like so so much cooler than. They don't know about your status Darling!
*YOU think the public should stop riding fixed so you can be part of a minority again.... your so old skool you taught Sheldon Brown about fixing, right?
*YOU think other men will wanna suck you off cos of your bike.... you don't talk to women cost they can relate to your bike or understand the significance of your spoke cards.
*YOU like big cocks in your arse.

All responses much appreciated. Thanks Harry

this is strewn with truly ignorable crap. Who greets people with the word "high" rather than "hi" then puts a question mark to indicate that ascending inflexion that has taken the young by storm? This is a horseshit post, whoever is riding yet another alter ego (soo last week, darling - yup I'm trying to speak your hipper-than-hip heatspeak) should go for a ride on their bike and lose the boredom, rather than thinking they're winding up people they don't know. Sorry nob drip, be you alias or genuine, your post is one of the crappest I've ever seen on here, and that includes all of mine. Great, this forum is being invaded by real wankers at last, i wondered how long it would be.

by the way it's "could have" not "could of". Whatever your particular regional accent suggests in terms of phonetics, the written language remains unchanged. If you had studied a little more at school rather than daydream of boys with nice lickable botties you were too frightened of acknowledging you would "of" known that.

No one cares about you enough to answer your self-indulgent questions asshole. Go and do your research and come back when you're not a wanker, ie never.

pajamas just broke his flame cherry.

it's probably an alter ego. But it's still lame as fuck and a waste of time - ride instead.

but yeah if you are for real: here you are at your crossroads - your idea of yourself versus others'. Eternal Twatdom to the left; Not A Bad Guy to Know to the right. The traffic lights are changing.....
