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)

Bikes: good ones.

A group of friends who ride together IIRC.

Brad from roadrunnerbags is with them.

edit: Now I guess they are a team making frames and things.

I see some of the guys around LA.

I saw the video they all started as friends got fast and made a team.
The frames look nice to me.

Was it that hard to Google it?

Brad, of Roadrunner Bags, Bud, of Wolfpack Hustle A, and a couple other friends that rode together a bunch around LA decided to form a formal racing team. They're all really strong riders. Brad accompanied some SF friends and I on a now-infamous Mt. Baldy ride. Good stuff.

TL;DR bikebros.

Based on their default google map language I'm gonna go ahead and say English is not their first language.

The team that GMJ and I race with is very strongly inspired by Engine 11. They are a bunch of really fast, really rad dudes that ride and race together for all the right reasons.
