Default This is my Fixed Gear

This is my new fixed gear. It will be used for commuting and also late night drunken cruises with tight jeans.

Its really a track bike I picked up used. I re-taped the bars white, new tires and put on a brake (so I don't kill myself).

Enjoy.

Nice Croce d'Aunes! Very nice Look too, an interesting, and appropriate pairing. I've got a set of Deltas I can't seem to find the right home for, you've inspired me to look again.

Dig the fixie too, great color, and the white tape's a nice touch.

If you find those Deltas and what to sell them shoot me a PM with a price. Those things are super pimp!

Very nice my friend. I picked up a Kona Paddy Wagon from The Path a few weeks ago and been putting it to good use. I plan on taking it apart and having it painted to go more custom. Did a few things to it since this picture including a nice gold chain



I have been posting up a lot of fixie stuff on my blog if you wanna check it. www.lostmanifesto.com
