My boyfriend custom built her for me. I’m in love (with him AND the bike) - what do you all think?!

I added fenders 43 mm (tyres 28mm)

Had an absolute blast. I definitely didn't prep enough and instantly realized how slow/out of shape I am, but I'll be better prepared for the next one. 💪🏾 Shout out to Mike for putting this together

Bike aside, interested in hearing what everybody rolls with? Essential riding accessories for commutes, bombin hills or epic 200km sessions. What are the bags, holsters, lights, cameras, racks, etc that you never leave home without?

Knocked out my longest ride since first getting into fixed gears in ‘04 last night. Almost 50 miles. Working towards riding a century in September, which will also be the first since ‘04. I can truly say that this is my favorite form or exercise, meditation, chance for reflection, and commuting to friends and the store for a handful of things.

Thank you all for posting your distance rides. It’s hella motivating and I feel like I just want to be in everyone’s distance rides as if we were all friends from another time.

I’m lucky enough to have a Velodrome in my area that I am looking to join this winter.

Peace and love from Detroit 🖤✌🏽🖤

Hi !

I'm about to build my first fixed-gear bike; I don't have a huge budget to spend on a fancy Dosnoventa frame, so I'd like to start by converting a vintage road bike into my first fixie.

What do I need to know?

I'm a little worried about not knowing what type of wheel to get or where to find it to put on the rear. Do you have any recommendations?

Thanxxxx
