I was lucky enough to see an original and unmolested 14bike co build in baby pink with matching spok in someone’s design studio recently. Looked like it hadn’t been ridden since 2011. It was a true shut up and take my money build in every sense.
At what time will the "retrofixed" revival start? When did old MTBs go from old to desirable?

I don’t know what killed it but it sounds to me the likes of @mashton are keeping the dream alive. I wouldn’t be surprised if @Peter_Carter is still riding the same fixed gear winter trainer he’s had since 1983 and putting in more fixed miles than the rest of us put together.
My neighbour still rides an old langster and wears an ancient bagaboo courier bag. I’ve never asked but I’m gonna assume he was on here back in the days of rep.

I’m gonna have to dust off my skidder and flip that flop back to fixed....
