I ride a converted CXSS setup as a commuter, dick around, "my favorite bike" build and I promise you I belong here in the FG forum over any other subforum in this entire website. This bike belongs here as much as the next. Hell, I'd run it FG and just drink an extra pint before I raced it.

Square peg in a square hole, a cyclcocross bike is a cyclocross bike, regardless of how many gears it has. Using that logic to classify and categorize this based upon the fact that it uses a single speed gear, if it had bmx grips or a bmx freewheel on it, it should also be acceptable to find it in the bmx section ?
please stop...

dood...you have posted in this singlespeed/fixedgear forum about your interest in some crazy system with chainrings on both sides of the bb along with confessing that you need more than 1 gear to be able ride over the intracoastal bridges which in reality are not all that strenuous

itt we all pretend we're carl linnaeus
I think the vive le roi looks pretty cool. I was looking at these last night and wasn't too disappointed with the builds. a little more tire clearance and internal cable routing wouldn't hurt imo, but it fills all the criteria that make me say yes please. I just wish I could see one in person.
and those dropouts...

The intracoastal I was referring to is the William H. Lehman, it doesn't have a drawbridge, please, get some footage of yourself riding up that pushing 80+ GI all the way and sitting in the saddle the entire/whole way. I bet you're walking before you get to the apex ? As for the other thread, that thread was about a several speed track bike setup anyway. So relative to that thread, don't think my posts were any more foolish than you calling me out for it in a totally unrelated thread in this one. Please stop making a fool of yourself, you're embarrassing yourself as I don't take credit for you regardless of where you live.
notgonnapostagifhere.pic
anyway, that is not in really miami, its in aventura. ridden it & the only hard thing about it is fighting the traffic - not much of a climb, just a bit long...whatsamatta, too hard onya? you can't handle it but you're demanding pics from another rider? you are a funny guy, you take pics of all your rides? sorry but 'm busy riding on mine.
ok...i need a new riding buddy
- meet ya halfway between ft laudy & aventura & we can hit it. where & when, my friend? till then, please stop posting stupid ****, ok?getting back to the original subject...i think the bike in question is interesting & if anyone would take a moment to check, they will find that company does make trackend & mountain bikes as well as that cx bike. modular designs? i wonder...

Why would you run 80 GI anywhere other than on the track?

My SS/FG runs 76 GI (bike weighs 24 lbs), That's actually not a big deal on flat roads, perhaps even with a kind tailwind. But if you try riding up a steep enough grade or into the wrong headwnd, depending upon how old & shape your knees and lungs are in, you might wind up messing your knees up or gassing out like so many others have posted about their aches, pains & wheezing. I wouldn't want anyone to post that they could do it, then show up with a 15-17 lb carbon road bike and either stand up and pedal or downshift to something they eventually might get up the grade and then try to take credit for conquering the hill. It's not that I don't think it can't be done, but to pretend it's going to be a pleasant endeavor or something to look forward too is misleading.
