I've been riding bikes ever since i was wee little terror. All through college i rode an S&M callgirl (little dirt jumper/street bike) for fun on occasion and to class all the time, even in winter.
now i live in austin and wanted something that i could actually commute on...i read about fixed gears...i built up an old frame and haven't looked back. i've always loved to ride and now i do it even more.

this is what i ride.

i'm already thinking about my next build. i need something with lower gears for the city...i think that's just my excuse to build another, :D

heh, if i have to start making my way downtown more often that gearing will change...most of my rides are pretty flat right now.
