I think bicycles are cool because they transcend so many people, subcultures, etc. riding a skateboard well takes a long time, whereas most people can already ride a bike. Skateboarding is something you can only do with select people but bicycles have much more mass appeal. it's nice to be able to cruise with your lady, ride around with a bunch of friends, etc.
The only skater I know with a bike is in NYC, he rides it to work and for fun. I have to admit though, watching Chris Pastras on a fixed gear shooting hills in SF i sick. But IIRC he did it b/c the fixed gear crew said he wouldn't be able to and it was harder and more dangerous than skating.
Again, I don't have a problem with the guys who are in it to win it, I have a problem with the guys who are in it B/C it's the new cool thing (insert fart cannon, or black rim comment here). I know they won't last, it will be interesting to take a poll in a year or two and see how many of the "core" fixed gear guys are still in it.
It looks fun, I would love to try it, but the stop light dancing and the trendyness is putting me off major.
Seriously though, nice bikes, have fun, be safe, and mixing in a reflector couldn't hurt;)
Yours truly,
Rich

Not that much, but if you want to make money as a framebuilder, good luck. A few frame builders offer courses in a small class setting.
Check out frameforum.org if you want to learn more about the art of building bicycle frames.

Dear Kevin or s0urce,
Please steal me a Derringer Bike located at 7954 1/2 West 3rd Street Los Angeles, CA 90048. If you see a white one take that, but I have no color preference.
Sincerely,
Devon

They are overpriced (for what they are) ~$3500, completely custom half motorcycle, half bicycle, designer bikes. They are beautifully designed, but honestly, that's what I'm going to spend on a real motorcycle.
