Run Run Run Run Run Run

Allow me to introduce this post as a stream of consciousness of me trying to make a decision:

So it all comes down to what do I like better: The Japanese or The Italian.

I'm trying to make a decision as to what Track Bicycle I want. A Keirin Frame or an Italian Frame. So pretty much I'm obsessed with my bicycle and all things that somehow relate to the logic of the fixed gear. Which is EVERYTHING. Yeesh. So do I want the Japanese Frame with its Keirin-Sport heritage? Or do I want the Italian Frame which its Velodrome-Sport heritage. So even the Japanese are obsessed with the Italians. Like the artists, hipsters/hip-hop heads in Japan. Here, they're just turning the culture to an "extreme" sport. They started making fixie videos just like snowboarding and skateboarding videos. Here, there's some love for the Japanese Keirin Culture, and how fuckin hardcore they are.

SHIT.
