The fixed gears: Kendo Orbit and Orbea Lobular Pista

Let's start with the Kendo Orbit.

It's my first fixed gear that's not a converted road bike.
I got it directly from Kendo shop in Taipei, Taiwan. It was Spring 2015.
Heavily inspired by the C-track down to the dropouts. Those are reinforced with stainless plates.
This was subjected to a bit of controversy in here when I first presented it.
Geometry is slightly less agressive compared to the OG.
Light, nimble and surprisingly comfortable.

Orbea Lobular Pista 2006

Acquired in November 2018.
Always liked this a bit unusual frame. It is in pretty good conditions. Previous owners never rode it off the velodrome. Information from Orbea: "(...)The tubing is Columbus Lobular which is a tubeset designed by Columbus in conjunction with Orbea. We're the only company that has used that tubing. It is a 7000 series aluminum that has been drawn and shaped to improve power transfer at the bottom bracket (thus the oval shape at the top of the down tube chainging (sic) shape and flatting out at the bottom bracket). The wing at the head tube is to improve stiffness of the front end since track racers generally put a lot of force into the handlebar while steering.(...)" source: https://velospace.org/node/14881

Haven't rode it much since I got it. It's very rigid with the BB higher than on the Kendo. Proper track machine.

want both

Excellent shop, great quality. I recommend.

The Kendo is sick. How did you mount the ulock on the rack? Just with rubberband?

Cheers.
Yellow horizontal part is tied to the lowrider mount with a velcro strap.
Added inner tube band for support and to avoid swinging/rattling.

Is the Kendo an off-the-peg frame and do you need t physically go to Taiwan to get one?

@Velocio bot? ^

Unsure, but garbage comment so deleting anyway.

Haha, no (just an attempt at a joke).

To (partly) answer your question: there is an online store (based in Singapore) selling them, but they seem to only ship to a selection of Asian countries.

Seems noone appreciated my attempt at humour.

I was mostly confused.

AFAIK Kendo shop ships worldwide. You have to contact them directly through Instagram or email them kendo.bikeshop(at)gmail(dot)com. But it happened that I was in Taiwan at the time so I took the opportunity to go physically. Shop owner is very chill and always happy to help.

yeah, it was the off-the-mark response combined with the anonymous account that did it

Thanks - that's good to know

Keep coming back to look at both of these, such slick builds.

What are the bars on the Orbit? Width?

Thanks!

They are Ergotec/Humpert Moon 605mm wide.
