Epitome of Finnish Hipsterdom ´09



Now pardon my rather bitter words but this is the true epitome of Finnish Hipsterdom circa 2009:

Couple of probably not-very-poor parents' daughters straight out of HEL Looks making highly irritating 1980s flavoured elektro-discopop -> produced by a dude who moved to Berlin -> who also used be a Nu Breakz DJ (Hi Jonas!) -> in a video with kids riding new production Jopos (-> as product placed by Helkama) and fixie-bikes around night time Los Angeles.

But hey, it's all great anyway, except that the song is just not that good at all.

The New Jopo 3 - beauty or beast?



Here you go, the 3rd generation of Jopo with 3 gears. I must admit that the 2nd gen version from 2000 is way much cooler looking (well I ride an army green 2006 model like this . And we all agree on the fact the the og Jopo is the classic.

This time the designers have managed to come up with something that lacks the original feel and looks like a cheap copy. I don't mind the gears, they had version with 2 gears way back, but this just looks cheap. Like those foldable bikes for mariners...

And I also found out that all Jopos are made in Taiwan nowadays. Shiiiiet, at least mine was still manufactured in Hanko.
