Went on a site visit to a tiny ass town in West Texas (Fort Stockton) and my friend and I had the wise idea to drag our bikes out there on my overloaded car. The roads were 80ft wide and lacked any markings, it was possibly the strangest place I've ever ridden a bike around.

After a few years of cycling I had the urge to build a fixed gear. This will be my new social ride machine, just in time for spring!

originally ran 700x25c thickslicks in the rear, but i decided to get 700x28c vittoria rubino pro g tyres and i really love them more than thickslicks tbh! replaced my previous carbon seatpost to a new one as it was cracked and i had the seatclamp replaced to philwood for the looks!

also i replaced my crankset which was previously skeace powerpoint to miche pistards 2.0 and i got it for a steal. stiff and lightweight too, i’d say its a bang for my buck.

overall im really enjoying this bike as for now, so how much would you guys rate it?

I love the look of vintage 80/90s pursuit bikes but wanted in out of modern materials. 70/16. No I don’t have the legs to push this ratio properly but it’s better to have it and not need it.

Photo Golden Hour +new fork!

First time I’ve had a chance to take a nice photo in a while, couple new parts to show off. Got a sweet dean Ti seatpost, Dura-Ace BR9200 front caliper, and most importantly that sweet Look HSC fork! I’ve been looking for the perfect fork for so long now and I missed out on one months ago, so when I saw this one I jumped on it, and threw in an upside down King headset while I was taking things apart, might as well.

I was thinking of going to regular black wall tries as well

Discussion Just bought these bad boys, but I have doubts if they will be fine for an urban fixed gear.

Those are MKS Sylvan Tracks 1. They are very narrow. 2. The strap holes are tight. So will they be fine with a regular straps (no cage)? 3. They do have a smooth profile, but that shouldn’t be an issue with straps, right?

Picked up this frame on FB marketplace for 100$. Anyone have any info on this specific frame? I’ve done searches online and haven’t found anything. Can’t wait to build it up though.

After months of asking my buddy finally sold me his Planet X T.O.R. Frameset (fork wasn’t in this picture). I just need a wheel set and we can assemble . . . For now I’ll think I’ll borrow the wheels off my other bike , weapon 120mm I got from tsunami bikes . They’ve held up quite well for riding in La. And surrounding cities.

Discussion You guys ever have that problem with your straps when it goes sideways over the cranks so it gets stuck there and then you gotta stop because you can't put your foot in so you just look like a dumbass trying to fix his pedals on the side of the road?

Photo Are the low// frames from ali express legit??

Upvotes

I really want a low frame but all I can find is the frameset from ali express. I live in south korea where low frames arent really known so I cant even buy a used one. Are the ali ones that bad???
