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)

Totally. A lot of beautiful bikes just start looking ugly with "non average" sizes, be it huge or tiny.

One-of-a-kind Teschner frame made out of Easton SC7000 tubing. (Basically) full Dura-Ace 7800.



Would cut the steerer, but might be trading forks with a friend in the near future. Thinking about getting a mango Chris King headset, and maybe some shallower drops because the 3T Rotundos look kind of weird. I might go for some Ergonovas or Ergosums and flip the stem...

Nice! In the future I would use white deda faux carbon tape. dirt doesn't imbed in it so it stays clean and cleans up with no effort.

A few questions if you don't mind:
Cane creek rims?
fame size?
stem length?
height?
inseam?

Just changed my mind entirely on not liking threadless and carbon forks on steel bikes. Soooo good

And leave the dirty tape. That way people will know you actually ride it

He doesn't have to provide any of it. It looks about perfect for me but I don't recall thinking that about his other bikes.
