A rap group from the early 1990's called the Black Sheep posed a challenge through a song they wrote. The challenge was this "You can get with this or you can get with that" to hear this song (it is clean) click on the link

I ran across a bicycle company here in Colorado that goes by the same name- Black Sheep Bikes-
http://www.blacksheepbikes.com/. Readers,
yall know that I know some funk in bicycle design when I see it and I am here to let
yall know that I am not particularly wild about the above design but Black
Sheep's use of color is great. Yes, I would have done
alot more color coordinating because putting color on the frame would really have made this bicycle pop, but they did well! The rap group said it and I pose the same challenge to you all, "You can get with this (Black Sheep Bikes) or you can get that (
another company in there price point)" I'm
gettin' with these cats!

Check
out the front of this bike. Dang, I have to say what the cartoon character used to say when I look at this "I thought I saw a
puddy tat". What I appreciate most about this, is
that is it absolutely the 'Cleanest' design I have ever seen, color would have made it stand out, but this is nice. Remember in an earlier post I waxed philosophical on the value of clean design? I just believe all the gadgets take away from the bike.

Black Sheep also have a cargo bicycle (not pictured her-I couldn't find a good pic to post) design on their website that I think
yall should check out because I believe Webster's Dictionary should redefine the definition of 'Freak Show' after I saw the cargo design! Dictionary publishers..be down and put that cargo design picture in your dictionary under 'Freak Show'!

I am going to shut up now. To Black Sheep Bikes...keep
bringin' it to the marketplace...somebody got to hold down the fort until I get out there :)
