First Single Speed and it is fun. I spin out on the flats it is a 42 / 16 no headwind. Have not tried hills yet but ran into strong headwinds but was manageable.

Not aero, just braking from the drops. They're definitely not in the intended position (see post #1367), but it's all personal preference so if it works for you it's all good.

My first fixed gear. I got it for free as a basket case. New tape, straps, headset, brake, chain rings, and back tire. 42/16 turns out to be a little too slow for me but it sure does make hills easy!

Been lurking this forum for a long time now.. I just recently put this bike together and I'm slowly upgrading it. First post! And yes, it's clearly not an Unknown!

See, that's how a road conversion should be done.

I got a new bike 
Frame by a local Dutch bike-maker, parts from my previous frame that was too big. This one fits finally!

Well done. Though I don't understand why you wouldn't have your framebuilder add a couple braze ons for a bottle cage.

I'm loving all the SS CX bikes in here. I'll post my Sycip when I get it back together and ready for race season.
