I've been riding fixed for a few years, and even though I love my Fuji Feather, I wanted to get a nicer bike and build it up by myself. This is the result!

Yes, I have reflectors on my bike, unfortunately it's mandated where I live and I don't want to start an argument with the police, since only having one brake is already a legal gray-area and I don't want to push my luck.

Otherwise, this bike has been great fun! I currently have the back wheel flipped to the 18T cog, cause I'm learning a few tricks. When I'm back in shape, doing some more local alleycat races to get some more spoke cards, I'll swap back to 47:16 though.

Also, I love the color. It looked nice on the website, but irl it's just as wild. When it's overcast, the bike almost seems to glow, I don't know if the pictures do it justice.

I'm also thinking about upgrading the saddle. It's not horrible, but definitely doesn't fit with the rest of the bike. I'll just keep my eyes peeled for good offers in my local community, maybe I'll find something better!

Seems like track stands and fish&chips are as old as bicycling itself.

Got into fixed riding this winter, challenged myself to ride 1000 miles this year on my 1988 schwinn Premis. Built a rear wheel with a flip flop hub, and I’ve been cruising ever since.

I signed up to do the half century (50k) as a challenge for me on my birthday, but once I was riding with the pack, I got caught up and did the whole 100k.

A bit sore in the sitbones and groin area, but overall feeling really good!

I was the only one riding single speed, let alone fixed! Got some props and shoutouts along the way though.

10/10, Will do again next year.

(Can’t figure out how to add a photo—always fails to upload for some reason)

Since I can finally upload photos, the first one should be dedicated to this fixie do-it-all! Every ride I fall in love more and more. Tracklo, ultras, gravel,... she does it all in the best and most comfortable way!

Or am I the last fixed gear rider out here?

This one's a bit of a beast — a fixed gear touring gravel bike (?)
Cinelli Tutto frame, bought online in size M (I'm 5'8/172cm), and it needed a seat post with setback, a saddle with long rails scooted all the way back, and all the spacers to make it fit.
I guess I'm tall for Italian standards.

Mounted the widest tires it would take, the lightest rack I could find, and the bare minimum in accessories to make it kinda street legal.
It's the silliest bike I ever built, and it makes me smile every single time I ride it.

Bought this bike a few weeks ago to go biking in the woods around my house and I love it.
