in 1913 Igor Stravinsky's Rite of Spring debuted in Paris. It was so radically different, it caused a near riot.

Over 10 years later the piece was played again to greater acceptance. Looking at this ("bike" pic) kind of mullet set up, with the low bars and tilted back seat. And that kind of adjustable flexible riser stem thing.... all I can think is - I'd like to not see this again for 10 years.... or longer!
welp.... happy trails and nearly Merry Christmas.
ps - is that a down tube shifter on a fixie ? like, just to cover up the shifter boss? .... they make little covers for those bosses, is all i'm sayin'..... i mean - if you're just throwing stuff from the parts bin on a frame that you can't sell, i understand that. totally. ... but i like do have some limits, personally.
The down tube shifter on a fixie.
I have that on both sides of my downtube.
It's just my love of Simplex.
Nothing functional, just sweet memories of the smoothness.
Love the fixed, love the Simplex just for the beauty and unused functionality.
Nerd, I am.
