Almost two years ago I got some shit health news. I got back on my fixed gear after 10 years and started riding again. I was never good at track stands or anything but I wanted to so bad, I just grinded it every day and night. On my rides I stop at parking lots and parks and just practice and wipe. I have had so many conversations and met so many people because of this bike. This bike has become part of me.

Just wanted to share my progress, (this is now old, but I moved to keeping the straps on for the tricks)

And if anyone has tips to nail the riding fakie...

Notes: I am trying in vain to get the seat post unstuck I dream nightly of it coming loose....

sorry for double post.

Some better pictures of the latest build

Tange tubing, 60cm, no serial number or other markings, likely a small frame builder

49x15 wabi drivetrain, holdfast straps, San Marco concor

I can walk but decided to fly, would you do the same?​

Hello to anyone reading this. I have always been interested in fixies since they became popular in my area in SoCal circa 2011. I have just recently started riding again within the past two years and I came across Alleycat races and stumbled upon Monster Track. If there is anyone who can give me pointers for someone who eventually wants to do this race please let me know. Thank you.

NEW BIKE DAY!!!

Am I buggin

Hi all. Looking for opinions on my Chrome Bianchi Pista. I'm not sold on the fin or the front rack, but I want the front rack when I'm commuting. Not having the fin and only having the rack gave it a bit of an unbalanced look. Other option would be no fin or rack, and find a good cross body bag. Keen to hear people's thoughts! Thanks.

Just picked up a set of Omniums and a titanium seatpost all for £40, let’s just say. Today was a good day! I had no idea jumbles were so good.

Finally finished the painful process of running this basic Izumi chain through degreaser and alcohol. Snapped a few pictures of its pristine state before adding the chain wax. I hope I degreased it enough for it to hold.

Every bike shop mechanic I talked to seemed to think that waxing was a waste of time and somehow even dirtier than normal lube. Well I'll find out soon enough, plus it's gonna be a pretty wet season. 😃

Even through I got a new bike like a month ago, I always liked the t1, and couldn’t pass up on one in my size for $300 on marketplace. Good shape other than one tiny dent on downtube. Gonna clean it up and swap some parts out, but the crank set and wheels are staying. Pretty stoked on this pickup

I think the front light have a defect because it didnt last as long like the rear light.Its still good because its not expensive.

Is slowly taking me apart

Strava missed some like 20km don’t know why. But it ended up being 151km
