Built most of the bike during the winter. Its a Benotto Modelo 850 or 1500 not sure which, I do know the frameset is made out of Columbus ZETA. I have geared road bikes, lots of mountain bikes but I had never ridden a fixed gear bike until I rode my Benotto to work today. WHAT A BLAST this bike is. Only one gear is really nice, no shifting, no other gears, either make it up this hill or carry the bike up it...lol. It feels really good, really fast, and super quiet....like whisper quiet. Here are the specs on the bike....built from a bare frame...painted by me, decals from ebay.
Frame : 58cm Columbus Zeta Tubes w/ forged drops
Wheels/Tires : Mavic CXP22 w/ Continental GP3000
bars/cranks/pedals/seat : Origin 8
BarTape : Lizard Skin ( amazing btw )
Front brake/lever : Tektro dual pivot, random road lever from a 70's Raleigh.
I know the red bits on the bike might not be for everyone but I like them so I guess thats what really matters!!
Let me know how you guys and gals like it.
