no it's geared. Hence the multiple cogs, shifter on the tt and pre-parallelogram derailluer

He is making a V-sign. It's totally MikeV.

As I recall, MikeV didn't say a thing, he just posted the bikes and never came back.

Whoops, edited a redundant post. Sorry.

When you press the edit button, there is a delete option.

Exactly, and some genius thought it was Mike Vallely... lol, right.

Heck, just from his posts I could ascertain that it was not Mike Vallely. I just had to do some searching.

I've tried hard, and I can't think of a worse name for a bike company than "Fixie Inc."

Also, their frames seem less than spectacular. I mean, who are they for? What a weird hodge-podge of parts and steel.

^ I guess at least the last one and possibly the middle one, too are titanium, not steel.
Regardless frame material I rather like them.

I have no idea who the guy in the photo is, but...

....Hiroshi Fujiwara has both a Enzo and a Look black frame with flat bar, and my friends in Osaka (all japanese) were telling me that they think it would be Hiroshi's. That photo of the Tamago-San confuses me though.
He is a fashion designer of bags/hats/clothing and is a fashion leader, maybe the most influential for young japanese, along with Nigo, Yamamoto and some others....
His father was a Keirin pro, and after seeing some messengers in USA riding track frames he decided to go and raid his pop's garage for an old bike about 2 years ago.
After magazines had shots of him riding and posing with his bike, the piste fad started to blow up in Japan, and that brings us to now...
