Bike 10: Felt Curbside


I have been slacking of the bike pics. *meh* 
Bike #10 was seen in front of the Bard coffee shop on Middle Street. The bike is a Felt Curbside and seems pretty obviously that the person who owns it diddn't want to build up a bike but wants the 'cool' look and presumably the simplicity and minimalism of a fixie/ss. The rear hub is a flip flop style. I didn't check which side it was on. I presume that it is SS since both the front and rear breaks remained attached.

Its a nice bike.  But for $700 there are alot better bikes out there.
Plus in my opinion the purity of building up a bike has been neutered.

Carry on.

Bike 7: Torker U-District


Not much to say about this one, plus I dont have much time to write today.
I saw this single speed bike  locked up near Free Street. I have never heard of Torker. The Alex rims and matte black paint were the notables on this machine.  The front brake had been removed  and the cable wrapped around the bars.  It looks like a some what sketchy set up but may just be temporary until a repair can be made.
