[dahgutone]

@cycotmc13

Not any gayer than techno and street fixed gears with a frame from 1988, you minus well use it as an anchor weight.

IT'S ALL ABOUT PERFORMANCE.

You should check that video out though, it's hilarious.

[restlesslikeyourmom]

Beautiful! 

[dahgutone]

Street fixed gears are gay. Track fixed gears are raw.

[spitt0110]

i would still tear that up on the road.

[ripousse]

"at least a front brake on it"

smart ass

[thienly]

can someone explain to me the geometry difference of a fixed gear for the track and the street? besides the bb?

[socalpumpballer]

@thienly track you want tighter geometry, street you want but done necesarly need more relaxed geometry (no toe everlap, more upright sitting, and barspin clearance if you are into that kind of stuff)

[thomasward00]

Fixies are stupid now, the urban liberal wanabe hipsters have ruined the fixie movement...

[ripousse]

@thomasward00 Im not riding a bike because it's making me look cool or not...

I ride it to go places without any chance of getting stuck in traffic

[ripousse]

@thomasward00 Are you really 37 years old ?

[deathknightwesley]

@thomasward00 THE FIXIE MOVEMENT LOL

[zeb1117]

@thomasward00 Its a track bike. meant for racing not riding to indie shows. this has nothing to do with a movement, fixies have been on the velodrome since before the dawn of time

[AddictiveHerring]

this bike is gay

[osirissk8rguy]

You're gay, faggot. Go ride a road bike and wear spandex.

[ripousse]

@osirissk8rguy Awesome comment, what year is this again ?

[ripousse]

@osirissk8rguy ok, cool

[soobeng]

@AddictiveHerring and i think you are the one who is gay. this bike is more man than you.

[ripousse]

@AddictiveHerring are you on drugs ?

[wa1523]

@AddictiveHerring a bike with phil wood's hub cant be gay.

[slickkapone]

that bike is gorgeous!!!!!! Truly a work of art!!

[townshendj]

those rims are fat!!! they're like H+sons but wayy sickerr!!

[xX6jdub9XxaaaA]

h+son doesnt even come close to those. those are like almost zipps.

[WideSplit]

Mannnn what a sexy bike! What rims are these?

[jimmymook6]

Agreed! They look like HED jets, but I could be wrong. Sorry my comment is 2 months overdue.

[oilibhear14]

@WideSplit says wheelbuilds webby so im checking it out

[RockyShitNigga]

@WideSplit Go buy yourself some Jet 90 rims you ugly piece of POOP.

[MrSexay]

You obviously dont know shit about Bikes.

[gfinn08]

first of all i meant to say fork, and ive been riding for 4 years and my dad for 20, and he told me that they are supposed to be straight and most track bikes i see have a straight fork, now if you don't believe me look at pictures of track bikes and then tell me i don't now shit about bikes

[TrevorCurnow]

420

[teddyadorno]

You don't know shit about bikes. Do you know what fork rake is? What about trail?

[HawtGlass]

@gfinn08 you've been riding your dad for 20 years? ouch...

[RidetoFly5]

Id love to take it for a cruise on the streets.

[614ninja614]

thats a fuckin bitchin bike

[troncrete1]

i would have to disagree with him about the lower bottom bracket. i ride fixed in NYC and i have crashed a few times leaning too sharp on corners (i later learned to just skid around them)

[fuzzywzhe]

There isn't any reason to lower the bottom bracket, especially on fixed gear. Hell, even on my Cannondale and Specialized both, I've hit the pavement with my pedals and neither of those are fixed gear. The bottom bracket on most road bikes are already too damned low, and with a fixed gear, you don't have a choice about where the pedal ends up when you go into a turn.

[grumpy723]

he clearly said it is a track bike, and thats what it says in the desc.

tracks have fixed banks. thats what it is built for.

it is not made for riding in NYC.

it is made for kieran, so maybe you shouldnt disagree until you understand.

[BiasBomb23]

@grumpy723 Maybe you should understand before making failed comments, Troncrete is talking about the fact that the builder would have made a lower bottom bracket were it a street bike. Tron disagrees because even riding in town you can run into the problem of pedal scraping.

[shorerydr10]

uh lol that is what grumpy was exactly saying .....

[natedcruz]

FUCK sexy
