Surly 20t Cog.
Flat pedals + TC's.
Cut drops to make bullhorns.

..and like "2 days of my blood, sweat and tears" - Tomas


Coming in at 70GI's, one time roadie, three time fixiehipster. The one, the only.....




PICS AREN'T MINE. Straight from Tomas' FS thread.

[Story insertion here at a earlier time slot (i'm tired)]

welcome to the club..
you coming to the fixie ride next week?
be there or be square

[Lorday]

Circle dude.

Fuckin glad to see the back of that given how many hours i spent trying to get that chainline/crank combo right. Jeeeesus. Kind of awkward seeing my loungeroom in your PYR thread, i'll get over it.

Get on the cream paintjob and brooks saddle ASAP! Nice buy!

[Lorday]

Top half will become brown. When this years over (aka two major projects and a car) brown deep V front + brown bar strapping.
Saddles staying, I fucking love it.

Love the bike as well. Brake mounts on the top tube are already gone, and one tube is already been patched. No fixie exp + ride home + square gutter = 1km walk home (had already done 6km to this point).

Ride home was 'interesting' to say the least. Acouple of incidents were nearly had and narrowly avoided.

Overall all riding the fixie is fun, struggling with skids, tracks stands are 'ok' and riding backwards is impossible. Got more to say when I remember them.

Nice, you keeping it brakeless?

[keromx]

there is only one way to go with the brown v and that is brown and cream. good pickup, hope you ride it heaps.

[Lorday]

JF- Yes
kero - We'll see, next year, just riding it atm.

[singletrack]

holy crap fixies are the new star trek! (warp speed!)

That looks really nice and all used....telling a story or ten!

Have fun!
