I think, way back when, that was one of the first pictures of a fixed gear I had ever seen.

Oof my back hurts just looking at that. By no means should that frame should even be allowed to touch pavement.

Its illegal to race that bike. So that bike should only be a wall hanger because you say so?

sportbikes shouldnt be ridden on the street either

you know them being terrible for commuting with such aggressive riding positions that take heritage for ama and motogp and all.

better stick to your cruiser and sport tourers.

Yup; saw off the seattube clamp and brake bridge and file down the BB threads and saw a horizontal slit through the shell and hang that decommissioned sucker up on the wall.

This one's from Craigslist a couple months back. I saved the images and forgot about them 'til now. It's a VISP conversion with Leader decals. I **** you not, someone actually bothered to convert a VISP road frame and re-paint it and put Leader decals on it.

Tessas (aka Weinmann DP18s) don't come in 650c.

im not familiar with the frame...but besides the slightly up tilted saddle im not sure whats so jackass about it. aerospokes are kind of passe/novelty but double is not as jackass as just a front one (lol i have just a front one on my "sweet fixay" biek).

i dunno overall its not a bad street fixed gear bike IMO unless im missing something...

Instead of spokes/paul crankset, he could have phils/njs crankset for around the same amount of money. The latter is #madstreetcred

On the tops obviously.... you take the majority of people running track drops on the street and lop off both ends of their bars at the top and aside from cosmetics, they won't have problem at all with using them.

Then just buy some damned flat bars.
