From https://www.instagram.com/gauthierbrothers/ they have a bunch of weird stuff

I'm sure it would make more sense after a few drinks.

Would try a lot of these haha!

aliexpress sells tons of them!

For the life of me I can't find them. Swear I've searched every combo of "bicycle front rack handlebars integrated", I must be missing the key term...

Just get stuff like this

nice work

Brilliant

Reader's daily beater. Resurrected via dissolving an old seatpost out, now rides like a dream.

Rapidly destroying the only grey perforated Flite I've ever seen.

Love the look of that!
Whats the frame?

Just a humble Surly Steamroller

This is pretty much perfect. Makes me realise I haven't ridden my fixed commuter in over a year :/

Might have to get a steamroller because of this .

I'm flattered! I will say: if I had to do it all again I'd probably buy a Mash Work/Steel instead. The Steamroller has a pretty low bottom bracket, and pretty chill geo compared to track geo.

Which is to say: it definitely gets the job done as a fat-tire fixed gear commuter, but is a little less twitchy/exciting to ride than a track bike, and pedal strike is an ongoing problem with even hard-ish cornering.
