This is one of my two commuting fixies that I built from dumpster parts. The frame originally had a set of sprung forks but they were very heavy and I wanted to quicken the steering a little so I replaced them with the shorter rigid ones shown. However although this bike is a lot of fun to ride it can be a little too twitchy when traveling through alleys or gravel and cobblestone streets at a good clip so I'm looking to braze up a new rigid fork. It should result in a more compliant and relaxed geometry and better pedal clearance since I run 170 crank arms.
