Hi, im Maxwell, and a student at Swansea University. Im originally from Albuquerque, NM where i was a mechanic at two bike shops. I am a trials rider at heart, but on exchange for school/photography. This fixie makes for a great way to commute and cross train. Its growing on me more and more each day. The frame was salvaged from a metal recyling plant, and all the other parts were sourced from another local shop in Swansea. Built up with good parts and cost nearly nothing. Bought the wheels and thats about it.
heres a small breakdown...
52.5cm Road frame. Had a 531 Reynolds sticker on it. Shit paint, so started to grind off, figured i would leave it looking ratty so no one nicks it! Tight but faily relaxed geometry. Matching fork.
Old school track drops and Stem
Campagnolo Chorus Headset.
Campagnolo Veloce BB
Shimano 600 Cranks, 165mm.
Campagnolo 42t chainring
Mavic Open Pro rims, DB spokes, Campagnolo Road front, Ambrosia rear. 15t Dura ace cog/ring
Brooks Saddle (worn in SO well)
Shimano 105 track pedals (switched out the MKS)
Front fender for style:)
lets try it again...
