First 2 fixed gear, yes. I have 2 road bikes and a MTB as well, which are older than the fg bikes. I also have 2 other fg bikes that I built a bit more recently. I promised my wife no more bikes for a while, so I have been concentrating on other things, like guitars, synthesizers, a sampler, keyboard controllers, amps, and a rack of recording gear.

Here's the UO-8 Frame:

You have my old UO-8, I bet I know who you got that from. Post some pics when it's done.

She is still with me but needs a new fork... figure she will be back in the spring.

This bike and I traveled many many places... figure we have a few more journeys ahead of us.

It is a custom made Arvon stem: there is no top bolt on these and the set bolt is at the bottom of the stem which makes them seamless.
