Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Kunstrad bikes

I'm not having any luck finding info about these bikes that is in English, and my German is pretty rusty. Does anyone have links or info?

What gearing are they running? 1:1?

What kind of fork are they running? Is that custom or just straight?

A quick search turned up a lot of links, but not much textual information on the bikes themselves. Looks like they're running 1:1 on custom-made bikes. Here's two collections of links to pages maintained by local clubs and individual riders:
https://freenet-homepage.de/kunstrad/links.htm
https://www.cycleballer.com/1232.0.html

And two online shops with galleries - they both seem to be popular manufacturers:

https://www.otoupalik-bikes.cz/index_de.htm

"Artistic Bicycles" are Kunstrad bikes, "Cycleball" or "Radball" frames look like this:

I love monkeys too.
Last night ChimChim jerked me off with his feet.
Only a monkey can show you that kind of love.
