That's extremely cool. I love the rear wheel, you don't often see those on singlespeeds. Nice bar ends, too.

That bike is just crying out for a 12t cog

Fixed it for you

that chain tension looks nice and smooth...nothing wrong with that.

Not Walton's bike, but Yao Ming's Gunnar:

My fixed gear (and yes, with brakes):

oh my god. i have five words to describe that mural:

breathtaking
epic
masterpiece?
phenomenal
sensual

it took me a minute before i even knew there was a bike in the picture.

glad the rims worked out ms. gio, nice bike

...kitsch

I get to look at that mural everyday. It's right outside of my bedroom window. It is beautiful. Being part Mexican, I thought it was fitting.

oh those mexicas...

shes dead

so tragic

I'm 6'5" and the frame is 25.5" or 65 cm. It was bigger than I had expected with wheels on put it fits well. The gearing is 52-14. The frame fits but it looks silly and is very heavy. When I get more money, I will buy a smaller lighter frame and a better seat with a long post.

52-14, damn. how's that working out for you

I have only been using it for a few days and I really have nothing to compare it to other than my mountain bike. Its a bit tall but manageable. I am having a hard time skid stopping though. And I am not used to not being able to stop pedaling.

brake lever?

lol, you need something like 52/19.

new drivetrain for me.

Of course, being of latino descent I'm biased.
