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)

I'm happy to see that great build with great wheels, Gyeswho.

It looks so right now, though I can't say I'm a fan of coloured chains.

Crazy how a stiff wheels make it easier
I bought an IRO after seeing your bike. But I couldnt get 32c tires on it in the front! I filed down the bottom of the crown and it just barely made it, but the tire wouldnt clear the brake. I just went with a 28c in the front, and 32c in the rear, works great! I need to get some pics up.

With you saying that I'm guessing the reason why I can do so is because of the Phil's axle nuts being smaller than regular ones so it allows for a little more space to be cleared in the droupouts. glad to inspire you though. I was inspired by my friend Niki (Yoshi) when I saw his IRO had enough space for large tires and I wanted to have a bike for the snow. This is the pic that made me want an IRO

Not bad, just wrap them bars and get a real wall-mounted bike rack before that door closer chews up your rim. At least a rubberized hook.

that teesdale looks familiar. from sashae? it looks a hair small but i imagine it's hard to find bikes that fit the poster, considering the setup. sometimes you just gotta make do.

dom, that's a great picture of Niki. I loved his bike in that setup. and I love yours lately, too.

sorry, i do. i'm in the process of collecting wheels. so if i find pair more suitable for street, i'll swap them out. still changing some components too (saddle, stem, grips) then it'll be ready for track.

Also, Oldboy!
The bike doesn't live there normally, just a place to put it in my cramped room for a photo. Oldboy is fantastic! Park Chan-Wook came to Oxford earlier in the year for the Korean Film festival with his film Cyborg. It was cool to talk to him about the Vengeance series.

Fortunately the sneakers were a gift, so cost me $0. Got bar tape to put on, but am enjoying it without during the nice weather at the moment.

awezzum!

i am at the point where i can balance front/back enough to swing a leg over if i could balance side/side enough to take a hand off. i've put a leg over onto my hand even, it looks so weak maybe if i get to session a few more times.
