  • This is what I loved about building fixed gears.

    You didn't have any of this nonsense.

    You don't have anything! Nothing to sink my teeth into, too boring. A track bike is almost too simple to be called a machine; it's more of a pure concept, crystallised into a solid.

  • Hah, the complexity of that was hilarious! Hard to imagine Look got every one of those details right - is that brake cable clamped directly by a nasty little grub screw? Also lol at adjusting the brake with the wheel in crooked...

    But yeah, I'd be in my happy place. Pretty damn into the full internal but rim brake vibe - don't mind if it's a bit of bastard to get the cables working smoothly as long as it's possible. For extra points I could try it first without looking at the instructions, or try to improve on the prescribed cable lengths...

    Might have to get me one of those one day, largely for the fun of working on it. Just totally bananas.
