Fixie Porn from another forum
I hope nobody minds if I post this. I found it on another forum and thought you might enjoy it. I'm pitching wood...

that thing may be a little much for some, i know a few poopoo contrasting lugs and such, but that embodies a lot of what i currently long for; straight blade fork, lugged 1 1/8th stem, paul dropouts. heck just tweak the color and i'm willing to sign on the line.

It is ****ing Christmas!
I'm back a forth between the stem. I like it, but also think it is over kill. However... I would kill for that bike.

That typeface, in all caps, makes me want to puke. And when I puke, it will look somewhat like that frame.

i love how custom bike builders put so much effort into detail and then when it comes tho their ****ING DECALS they use microsoft ****ing word and one of the 10 fonts that came with it.
this is making me wonder. is there a custom shop that doesn't have a hideous logo?

I actually love the frame, but, judging from the seatpost position, why would you get a custom bike thats too big?

I've scrolled all the way down... nothing. Link for the complete build pic?
BTW, that bike=hot
I wouldn't personally buy it, but it's great in its own way. Love the stem.

if you switch the display mode, you can read the thread in a more bf style format.

****, that's nasty.
Either the frame is way too big, and the bar is waay to high or the frame & bar is ok but the saddle is waaaaaaay too low.
Isn't this supposed to be the trainer of a roadie?

I suppose size could be limited by wanting to run 700c wheels without much toe overlap. The frame looks pretty small, so maybe going smaller just wouldn't have worked with the geometry. Or maybe he just likes his bars level with his saddle.
