  • Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. He is a fucking legd. Riding fix just got that little bit cooler.

  • Alfred Jarry used to ride fixed. Apparently he used to carry a loaded pistol and fire it at buildings as he rode around.

    what a G!

  • Crazy loose chain though. Even under pressure!

    Maybe he's trackstanding.

    no brakes as well!

  • ummmmm.
    The coaster brake bike- is that designed to allow you to look like a 'cool' fixed gear fakenger, but without any of that trifling difficulty of actually riding a fixed gear?

    The new brakes/no brakes, helmet/no helmet, carbon/steel can of worms is........

    Gun/No gun.

  • Eric Clapton has a sick old Cinelli Pista, but I can't find a picture at the moment.

  • eyebrows ummmmm.

    Or maybe to be a simple, low maintenance city bike?

    Is this also for those who want to look like a 'cool' fixed gear fakenger?

  • Momentum [quote]eyebrows ummmmm.

    i don't think coaster brakes existed in the 1800s

  • i meant on owen wilsons sleek bike:

    There is no way that this geometry, etc. is not designed to mimic the fixed gear look
    It has track ends as well

  • in that sense BMX's is supposed to mimic the fixed look? they use backward facing dropouts. a lot of SS mtbs are the same, it's just makes much more sense because chain tension is important on both fixed and SS.

  • i agree. looks more like a bmx, surely (gusset, bars etc).

  • JOL Jason Lee.

    Or rather- fixed is trying to emulate BMX?

  • the very first bicycles are fixed, BMX came out much later. and it's not about emulating each other it's just for practicality's sake.
