Douchebag Ride of the Week

The bike you're peeping is an uber rare Phil Wood Kiss-Off made by the good folks at Independent Fabrication.

Under normal circumstances a collaboration, as the kids say, between Phil Wood and IF results in an classic bike for the ages.

However, the owner of this whip has proven that in the easy steps you can turn a bike of impeccable taste into the whip of choice for the douchebag set.

Here's how:

1) Take a perfectly nice unpainted titanium frame and slather it in a coat of Butt Ugly Yellow.

2) Opt not to use handle bar tape to "keep it street."

3) When you realize you spent too much money on Iron Man's car, throw your bike up on the eBay and blame the forced sale on your "long femors" not on the fact that you bought a car that's worth more than the houses across the street. Now the important step here is to make sure the bulk of the your listing's photos show off the car as much as the bike.

Sadly, our fella wasn't even able to get a lowly $1600 for a bike whose frame is pushing 4 g's. The auction ended yesterday with nary a bid. If you contact the seller, I betcha he'll take a low ball offer of a thousand bucks or so.

The end of the month is fast approaching and someone's gotta make a car payment.
