Off-road / gravel / mud fixed-gear bikes (whisper: tracklocross)

^ someone's not having a good time.

Edit: bastard new page bastard

Reckon it was his 23mms when I tried taking a off road detour

I like that, any other pics? Feel free to include more shots with people hiding behind trees.

And does anyone have a 53 Steamroller frame going spare/cheap?

Unfortunately no other pictures, will try next ride

This Surly built by woods down in The New Forrest is so sick, one of my favourite bikes I’ve seen in a while. More photos of it on their build gallery here

Any idea on the saddle? V clean.

very nice, colour combo is good

Looks like a Berthoud

fantastic

Very nice , very bling$.

Yeah I wouldn’t expect those colours to work together but they really do.

The fact that it’s a 59cm frame makes the proportions look really good too IMO.

nah, riveted top init?
GB saddles have screws.. To me it looks like the leather saddle that Velo Orange used to make. Can't find it on their website anymore though.

Big frames always look better, really not sure why that is. Bigger headtubes are always more aesthetically pleasing I think.

Eveyone’s wrong, apparently it’s a brooks. They’re tagged in the before photo here on Instagram and if you zoom in you can just about make out their signature little metal tag on the back.

I think that only really applies to more traditionally shaped fixed and road bikes. I think this one’s helped by the fact that it’s 650b too.

Gravel was had this morning. It was nice.

(We didn't actually go back on the Downs after Pyecombe and stuck to the road instead)

I'd never gotten to Ditchling Beacon this way before!

Have you got a rear brake on this? I can see a caliper but no rotor. Or is that something else?

Yeah that’s correct, caliper but no rotor. It got lost in the workshop shuffle!

From ebay

Thread bump! Here's my tracklocross pompetamine. Thanks to @Eamesy for the photo.
