re: the outlier ‘pivot’ shirt. is bikesnobnyc lurking on fixed.org and stealing reappropriating comments?
Here’s my post on the subject yeterday:

and here’s his statement from today:

Back in the Day, people were willing to accept the fact that a dress shirt is simply not optimal cycling attire. If you were going to ride a bike, you wouldn’t wear a dress shirt, but if you had to wear a dress shirt and you wanted to ride your bike you’d simply deal with it. You might even improve things a bit by riding a bicycle that afforded you a more upright position, or even by changing your shirt at work. However, if you’re willing to spend $120 you no longer have to make these painful decisions, because Outlier have now invented something called the “pivot sleeve:”

TOTEZ INTELLECTUAL COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT!!!

Sorry, I don’t see the correlation?

You say:

i don’t know if youre gonna win many clients showing up to a sales meeting with a delightfully tailored, yet revoltingly sweaty and smelly shirt

He says:

If you were going to ride a bike, you wouldn’t wear a dress shirt

Is that the same thing, it’s a bit of a stretch if you ask me… :expressionless:

But would be nice to think that BSNYC gains inspiration from fixed.org.au :mrgreen:

you can take solace in the fact that i gain inspiration from fixed.org.au. surely that’s enough for anyone :slight_smile:

Isn’t bikesnob a laaaady?

When Andy put that BT street bike up ebay it was on here, then the next day it showed up on bikesnob.

This has happened a few other times but I just thought he was reading the fyxomatosis blog.

I can only conclude bikesnob is either:

a) has a lurker here or,
b) is being fed information from an informant on this site.

Time to call up Sipowicz and get to the bottom of this.

I wish I was Sipowicz.

I’m not Sipowicz, but I do have a smashing short sleeve shirt/neck tie combo.

I did find a few stupid/witty things the snob might be interested in but I could never find a contact on his site.

Does anyone have a contact for him?

This is not a clever lure to draw out the snitch - honest

Stupid thread.

onanistic inspiration?
