Currently building a better version of this, I just need to source a rear shock. I found a Noleen on Ubuy that I might get.

On-One il Pompino fixed commuter/crosser/wet day/dirt road ride.
IRD roadie, fixed with the inimitable White Industries Eccentric axled rear hub.
(it's not really as odd as it looks; weird photo angle)
Tansition Covert squishy, RS Lyrik fork, assorted bits for the rest.
Peyto Cycles "Wild Bill" frame, RS Pike up front, more assorted bits.

Since the last time I posted these:
New wheels, seatpost, stem, bars, tires. Fits better now. Not really liking the tape, but oh well.
Slightly larger tires so the fenders had to go. Put on a Nitto Dirtdrop stem.
Neither get ridden as much as they should.

I decided to not do the harlequin pattern on my bars so I just decided to wrap them with red tape. I personally like them this way. I think the background is fitting. My trusty steed:

Skipping's not too hard. Just lean forward and jump a little to unweight the back so the rear wheel lifts up a little. After a while, you'll be able to skip while seated.
