Okay, it's tig welded and blue, I give up, what is it?

As Sheldon "Redundancy" Brown would note, as well, it's not complete without a rear brake.

No no, never that :) I just want to be "well rounded" :D cmdr I havnt a clue who the frame builder is :( John E I added the matching rear brake just after I took the pics :p ;) :)

It is perfectly safe without a rear brake. Only good for ghosting without a chain.

Well my cruiser/fixed gear/BMX only has a rear brake, I'm good then.

Once you have bought XBox 360 and Guitar Heroes III, an ss/fixie can't be far behind.

Well, its got a 'Coda' saddle, so maybe its a Cannondale??




~ i'll just crawl back into my hole, thankyou:D

I personally have never played any games on the X-Box, I bought it for the HD DVD player feature, I also picked up a Playstation 3 for the Blue Ray/Blue disc feature, I never played a game on that either, Im just into movies is all :) I have it all built up and will be going without rear brakes just to see if I can learn to stop using just the fixed gear and the front brake, I figure if the fixie guys can do it why cant I? :D worse thing that can happen is I cant do it and I have to go freewheel with a rear brake :)

krikey! that blue chain set's 'er off, doesn't it? the leprechaun doesn't look too impressed, though.

Hey, look at that - some manufacturer of reputable quality bikes has been reduced to imitating Wal-Mart GMC Denalis in an attempt to sell their frames...

:roflmao:

Sorry, couldn't resist. After all, with that blue, that's what it looks like; the GMC Denali as a "real bike."

Hey! Hey! Hey! Its a Knome! and he always looks like that! ;)

A real fixie rider also removes the stickers from the front of his A/V receiver. :D

hey! I live in Philly!! (i didnt know we had become this known hahahha)

But do not worry, I have always enjoyed my gears (and brakes).. even if some of my friends have somewhat differing tastes

that is a newish schwinn prelude from x-mart.

You sure? I dont mind if it is I just want to be sure so I dont look like an idiot if someone ask :D

:lol: Dude! I remember I was sooooo happy to get it that I just ripped the box open and set it up! :lol: I was so excited I forgot all about the stickers! Man that was years ago! I need to update my receiver! STAT! :lol: ;)
