2015 Post Your Singlespeed/Fixed Gear Megathread
#1027
Calamari Marionette Ph.D
Some changes since the last photo: Changed my gear ratio to 50/13, changed the chain to wippermann z1 and installed mud guards (sks bluemels, from which I cut the last third of the rear mud guard because of missing mount on the frame).
Still to go: changing the hideous pedals and change to better tyres.
I'm assuming you only ride the bike downhill with a tailwind?

Here is a mock up of my Gazelle, put some 27" Araya rims laced to some old Shimano hubs, re-purposed a 6 speed rear into a single speed.
here is what it looked like when I got it

I really like that basket. I see on their website that they say it fits a 6 pack. How much can you get into it? I'm looking for a basket to replace my backpack on trips to the grocery store for a few things.

Some changes to my bike since I last posted it, probably 2 years ago.

That's the coolest bike I've seen in the time it took me to write this post!

Is that an aero water bottle near the bottom cluster?

With me on it there's plenty more black & white
Yes, it's the Torhans VR Aero Bottle. Because the frame doesn't have lugs for a bottle cage I used the Two Fish Quick Cage Adapter for the mount. Not that a single speed 60/30 needs aero help, but I couldn't pass on the colors lol.

Those mirrors sure are not aero. So let me get this straight, this is a carbon belt single speed with a flip flop hub and is set up as a 60 tooth front ring, and a 30 in the rear?
