thanks for the love. it's a big change from the tk2 it replaces but i'm all about it so far.
i'll agree with you on the hubs— ideally they'd be superbe pros or promax. but for a street wheelset they've held up for two years with one truing and the bearings are still smooth, so i'm not in a hurry to switch them up.

The bike actually started with a brooks swallow, I took it off to put on my affinity frame. I am thinking about putting a celeste saddle and grips on there.

Sixty Fiver, that bike looks hard to pedal and control as a fixie. It makes you look strong.

i am thinking it is a bmx also, since im pretty sure those are Carbon BMX racing wheels which iv seen on my bmx bike. If it is a "bmx" bike and not just a 20" wheel bike then i assume it is for downhill racing??
