Zullo slx
 

this is my first fixie. i love the frame and am enjoying learning how to ride fixed. the post, stem, and bars are nitto gold. the wheels are velocity deep v's on paul high flange (flip flop - just in case!). crank is kyotoloco with matching gold cages. i have gold pedals, but i can't find straps thin enough to go through them... any ideas on that? i'm gonna rewrap the bars with white to add a bit more cushion, but other than that the bike looks, rides, and feels SWWWEEEEEEEEEEET!!!

gorgeous frame. zullo does top-notch work. don't you dare de-brazeon it!

the gold bling doesn't really do it for me though. i see vintage italian slx and think classic silver campy...but that's just me.

don't dig the colors but it looks like a quality bike.

I kind of wish you were running it with drops with that stem. But whatever's best for you obviously.

yeah, i actually hate gold most of the time, but i wanted something kind of funky, and the gold group really caught my eye for some reason.

as for the drops, i couldn't find a pair in gold that were not outrageously priced, and i have always likes bullhorns, so i went with them for now. we'll see what comes down the ebay pipe in the future.

the frame is superb. smooth ride, stiff in the right places... if i ever want to build a steel frame up it will either be this one or something like it. the paint has some pretty bad gnashes here and there, but it is still the original pearl-ish white with red. the decal are obviously gone, but in the right light you can still see where they once were on the downtube. the head badge and model (just says slx) pantographed in and it looks great.

thanks for the comments, even if it is aesthetically not your cup-o-tea.
