I have Shimano positron but my KTM Formula does not have the front freewheel although some came with it.
Keep in good nick, front freewheel will be museum tier soon and its cool af.

One of my hub bikes has the rear cog inside the frame so you have to lock the chain inside the frame to make it work.

Rode with a friend today who has the controls of his MTB front derailer reversed so left and right controls are symmetric

I've got an old road bike that uses two rear derailleur cables.

My frame has a broken seatstay for a Gates toothed belt. When the one it came with wore out I decided it wasn’t worth the hassle and went with chain instead. I never had to figure out how it was supposed to come apart, but it seems to be some sort of hirth joint.

Also has a basket / handlebar combo made of welded aluminum tube. That looks sort of meme-ish but I love it and haul groceries and stuff in there every day.

It’s a Spot Ajax. Total hipster-mobile, but can’t fault the overall value; it is what it says it is.

>flipflop
Always notice those when I see them in the bike rack. Do you ever flip the flop right on the sidewalk, or does it mostly stay on the same side?

Unironically based. I had one on my Langster and loved it. If I wanted to get a serious workout on the bike path I'd go fixed, but flipped to SS when cruising with normie friends

Flip flopped like once or twice on a descent greater than 15% while I was still new to fixed. I stick to the fixed gear 99% of the time now, even if I have both front/rear brakes. I keep it on for backup if my sprocket ever fails (hasn't happened yet *knocks on wood*) but my tires are directional, so it'd be more a temporary get home limp mode. On a side note, climbing more than 15% gradient on 46/16 hurts.

I have 2 pairs of those, best friction shifters my /n/igga.

I ride suntour 6 speed accushift on my main road bike. If I loosen the d ring and move a selector on the rear shifter I can switch from 6 speed, to friction, or to 7 speed.

I don't know if it counts as meme, but the rear brake is at the bottom of the bike near the bottom bracket so the rear triangle can be
A E S T H E T I C

Older bikes already had these kind of brakes and they are average and gets dirty easily.
