Well, I guess you won`t be jumping into this week`s STI/Barcon debate or next week`s Canti/linear/disc party. You gonna pull a trailer behind it any chance? I`d hate to see you miss all the fun :D

Who needs panniers or brakes. You can hang grocery bags from the "drops" and with luck they'll get into the spokes when you need to stop. :)

everything a touring bike shouldn't be ,sorry buddy but it just look's all wrong.

Riding a fixie or single speed is like playing golf with just a 9 iron-- sometime during the game (ride) you might have the right tool (gear) for the job.

However, I don't ride a single speed or play golf so what the heck do I know:)

there are people that ride fixed for touring, but I'm pretty sure all the ones that have survived the trip had fairly good brakes.

The bike is nicely set-up; except, I don't like the way the silver front rims clash against the rear black one. BTW, I'm looking at getting a set of those bars for my Miyata 1000.

I love your minimalist approach, my skinny legs would love it if I toured like this.

I question the lack of an adjustable stem, though I do like the bedroll storage feature of the handlebars.

Looks like a good bike, but I think the fork is bent. Also, need some white bar tape.

I would add rear suspension and then call it PERFECT!

I question a lot more than that, but yeah, I think this is a joke.
