Father of Fixed Gear
 

I collect a ride all kinds of bikes. But this is one of my favorites, this photo was taken at a lighthouse celebration that they had here in San Diego. And yes it is a Fixie, it just does'nt have a chain :D

beautiful photo.. yay, pennyfarthings!

i've never seen someone mount one of those things. And the truing stand for that front wheel must be huge!

He's totally riding that pursuit bike backwards.

HAHAH!!!:D

can someone photoshop him giving a double middle finger?

Does it have clips and straps or is it clipless :D

that bike would be cooler if it had deep-v's

the owner is trying to get them for sale in the US for under 600. When he gets them, I'm getting one. Not wearing that outfit though.

I have got to get one of those.

Screw the bike, I only want the outfit.

Actually, I think there's some sort of ordinance about that.
Although, it would be great to rock it with the pants rolled up, Che hat, NY lock around your waist. Be all "What...?"

Somebody stole one from a bike shop in New Haven. The shop-owner rode it in the parade there. It was dope. Stealing it is not.

Where was this?? at point loma or something??
AND....go to CM this Friday in Balboa Park !!!
comeon more people to CM = more fun!
:D

I've been on that waiting list for to dam long now.

I've seen someone get on one. They have a little step on the "downtube (?)" and you start it like a scooter. Grab the handlebars, one foot on the step, push a couple of times then swing up onto the seat.

no gears != fixed gear.

There was on at a bike shop around here about a year ago for under $600.

no gears != fixed gear.

not true, but it's cool. i know what you meant!

skidding must be a b!tch on that thing.

direct drive. i mean, its the same type of idea, but lets all promise we wont argue about that and just talk about how ****ing awesome that bike is.

didnt you want to build one of those?

Really, it's just a unicycle with a cheater-wheel on it.

still do. but i have no idea where to start.

time machine.

ask baldy about a time machine some day. its a good story.
