Ahhh so i finally got my first fixie finished being build up today after about a month of ordering parts etc etc. but i cant ride it right now becuase i have to get ready for prom!
Do you think the gf would be upset if i rolled up on the fixie and told her to hop on the bars XD

did those rims cost more than the bike?
it would be awkward to get a girl pregnant on the back of that thing

I think you would be happier if you had a brake. Oh, and always wear protection..and by that I mean a "helmet".
hahah yes...the wheels did cost more than the bike :) i think they bring it all together tho!
and im like 6"1' so its deffinately big but i fit. the tt is like half inch below my "goods"
and iv got a brake for it just havnt put it on yet.

i think ill just sit on the seat backwards and she can well... haha im sure u can figure it all out

That is completely meaningless as far as how the bike fits. If that is the case your saddle is probably too low though.
yea the saddle was low i didnt have a bolt for the seat post.
by saying im 6"1' i mean that its not like im 5"4' on a 60 cm bike.
thats all i was trying to say.
well im off to prom.

Is this another "look at my new fixie!" post with backwards clips?
What is with the geometry of that frame? My god. What spawn of hell is that frame? That just might be the ugliest bike I've ever seen. But if you are happy with it....more power too you.

i don't see a pic of the bike or the prom date. what the hell.
edit: oh the bike pic just arrived to my computer screen after posting this....now we need to see your prom photos.
+1 for Prom photos. Here's to hoping you pounded her hard last night (the bike, that is).

prom happens in high school
and highschoolers are known for their suggestibility (ref:this thread)
I'm trying to live vicariously through whix, here. Do not ruin this for me.

Damn...if my date in high school had picked me up for prom on a fixie I might have died of happiness.

WTF is prom?
It's a right of passage that US High School students go through. They get incredibly drunk on cheap vodka/beer and have sex with the "loves of their lives." This is usually done as a nice send off before college, and the student and his date attempt to continue a relationship that is destined for failure. Since the people having sex are in high school, a fair amount of females get knocked up on prom night. It's pretty much the best thing ever. If you can include Fixed Gear Bicycles, it's even more awesome.

masturbating while doing a no handed trackstand is hard, but doable.

Haha thanks zurich, thanks for believeing in me man! But for all those who care prom was kinda lame (what dance isint?) but what ever i made the best of it, as for the hotel afterwards that was a good time :] haha
as for the condition of my fork...idk what to tell you, maby you should take a close look at the conditon of your eyes. haha im just playing wit chuu! i think its just a werid angle thing because it looks good to me.
