Hmmmm, not exactly but close.
brace yourself - it's not an easy thing to look at.
From a distance I thought this was two people From a bit closer I thought blow up doll And now I can't unsee the truth I have deep sympathy for this obviously intellectually unequiped mans family.

If we wanted to move cycling forward we would....

Have had options ...for a long time.
Options that look damn good.
And are faster - but yea f@:k that noise we wanna pay thousands for ha ha, aero frames with tucked cables on which to ride in a non aerodynamic position. Get outa here with your progress!

Ahh the sweet smell of success.
As defined by the appropriate ruling body of course... We aren't anarchists or some kind of independent thinkers are we?

It may not be a bike I would ride and certainly yeah aerospokes are aerospokes but I don't see anything majorly jackass here someone took an old Tri bike and turned it into a fixed gear bike na dit doesn't look terrible or anything like that nothing seems horribly out of place and while I may not love some of the component choices I didn't see anything that was dangerous or terribly done.

Ehhh that is a weaker point. I don't disagree that yes foot retention is helpful I have ridden fixed sans retention and I am still alive. Granted yes I had brakes.

My LBS won't even service fixed gears with no brakes even if they have foot retention. They will only service bikes with two functional brakes (fixed wheel is not a functional brake in their eyes). Their only exception is track specific frames with no place to mount brakes, in which they will assume that the rider has experience riding brakeless if they have that kind of specific frame.
