Whilst trawling through the internet I came across this rather extravagantly decorated fixie. It was created by Jacques Ferrand, a trained traditional leather cutter and sewer. Jacques has his own shop, Crèvecoeur (23 r. Des Blancs Manteaux, Paris, France) and normally works on bags, shoes, and belts, either directly for customers under the name Etablissements Ferrand, or for labels such as Hermès but thought he would do something different. He has even covered a few skate boards. Perhaps it is a little quiet in the shop due to the recession?

Good article. Pretty much sums it up.

@NotNigel This statement has definitely been chosen to wind up a certain, Lancashire based cyclist Doesn't wind me up, as it's clearly fiction from either a contributor, or from road.cc staff having a laugh.

I'm still waiting. Conversely, its very difficult to prove the negative that the police have done sod all. But, they haven't
@mdavidford possibly Sir (now Baron) Sadiq's...
@Aluminium can Re progress - no it's not!
@AidanR Uphill pedal harder, downhill pedal faster.
Kindly stop waving that shoehorn about - you'll have someone's eye out.
Chuck an empty plastic bottle, get fast tracked through the court system and receive a 2 year prison sentence. Plow straight into someone through dangerous and incompetent driving, leaving them with serious injuries and get a hundred quid fine (who knows if he'll even pay that?) #twotierjustice
I feel a regeneration is imminent... put the mods on standby!
@Smoggysteve : I purchased a Joe Blow 2 in 2014, it's still going strong, never had a problem. You must have been really unlucky.
