Calling all retro-minimalists!

For those of us that like them lean, stealthy and minimal - can it get any better than this...???

Nice, fixed wheel with no brakes at all! That'll mess with their heads at the local chaingang!

I'm lovin the bars.. was that supposed to be a 'track' setup??

Those bars are cool kinda like the planet x/on one midge bars.


Did you notice the pack of cards chainring.

Very, very nice. Wonder why these kinds of bikes haven`t caught on until now.... Maybe we had to go through years of techno-babble and suspension this and gears that to be able to appreciate a more puristic bicycle.

Ever tried to ride a fixie off-road???? You say 'techno babble and suspension', I say 'being able to corner without catching a peddle and being thrown off'.

This is a nice bike, but lets not pretend that its practical for anything other than a velodome.

Loving the chainring, didn't notice at first, just caught my eye as I left the page.

Oh. I am so sorry to have put your panties in a fixieted bunch. I thought this part of retrobike was intended to discuss ROADbikes? If you want to discuss mountainbikes, or hatred for fixed mtbs, there is a forum for that as well on this site.

And if we are going to talk mountainbikes. After owning a Stinky, Stinky DeeLux, Bullit, Ellsworth Dare and countless other multispeed and fully boinged-bikes, i find it refreshing to ride a simple rigid singlespeed. Offroad or onroad.

Don`t throw such a hissy fit immediately please.
