    I never understood that expression. Buttons aren't very cute?

    A button you push disguised as a button you button!

    I'm Andrew. I was born in Brooklyn and raised in a suburb of New York City. I will be an incoming first year student at Lewis and Clark College in the fall after spending a semester at school in Massachusetts. Very excited (and nervous) about coming to Portland.

    Don't be nervous, everyone here is sweet. Let us know when you're in town and we'll all meet up and ride.

    I would be very nervous. Portland is the mean streets compared to Brooklyn.

    *and by mean I mean impotently passive aggressive.

    I feel like some buttons can be cute. But most of them aren't. I don't know, it's not the cutest thing I could think of to compare someone to.

    "A usually round flat badge that bears a design or printed information and is typically pinned to a garment: a campaign button."

    Come to the waffle ride on Sunday! We'll meet at 10:30 AM on the west side esplanade by Steel Bridge.

    Howdy Jenn, long time no see, hope yer well! And thanks bryan, officially.

    gabriel that bike is the SHIT! it's hilarious and i see what you're poking fun of (i think) but it's also the best looking tall bike i've ever seen. could you give some build details? are those parts powdercoated? do you ride it like that?

  12.  

    Thanks, it is meant to be a parody bike, you're right. It's just a rattle can paint job, several light coats and lots of masking tape go a long way to make it look pro. Here are a few more pics, all the tubing is scrapped from junk bikes.
