Here's my first single speed bike since my BMX in about 1985.

Fyxation Pixel, out of Milwaukee, on 28 mm road tires. Light mods:
  • gearing change from 42/16 (71") to 42/17. (66")
  • added the bar ends to the middle of the bar for kind of an "Aero Bar Lite" option.
  • Replaced the stock grips with brown ergo ones that are Electra-branded.
  • Upgraded pedals to some nice spiky flats with good bearings
  • Added a cheap bar bag
  • Added a good set of lights

Next step is a silver finish aluminum bottle cage and to put some miles in with the bike club on moderate and slow rides.

I've only ridden it a couple times, as it's not a great bike for Wisconsin winters. Can't wait to get some miles on it this spring.
