  • got a spanking new one on the way,
    my 2013 blue and white track race machine, campag pista cranks, royce hubbed sweet wheels, mwah hahahaha

  • Dusk ride.

  • ^like that

  • slack chain. what is that rear cable for?

  • Hills.

    3 speed fixed hub.

    1st 58.0 GI

    2nd 69.6 GI

    3rd 92.9 GI

  • ^ sounds interesting.
    Where's the derailleur?

  • Not for skidz.

  • Ordinata I don't find your bike particularly visually appealing but god DAMN do I want a go on it

  • Yea, it's not purist.

    Thing is I love the big ring, but every now and then it's nice to step it down for a cruise.

    Plus the transition into 90+ GI is a lot friendlier on the knees.

    There is a lag on the hub, so it feels weird when using for the first time. (ie not instant resistance, like a slack chain)

    Really it should be fitted to a tourer with a rear brake, but it has been fine for a few years now.

    Definitely a grower to the point I'm not sure I would want to revert.

    Going down hill in 58 GI resistance spinning is ace. Whirs like a mf.

  • Why no skidz?

    the s3x is fixed 3 speed sint it? or is it the slack that makes it useless?

  • I would imagine it's full of all sorts of crazy mechanical voodoo which probably fail under the pressure of fixeh skidding after a while?

  • Yeah, basically your putting hooge pressure on little teeth.

    Even tho it is built like a tank. (Weight is not discussed))

    I have locked up on it once or twice.

    Purely out of shitting myself / vehicular intervention.

  • Ordinata - is that a size Large? How tall are you, if you don't mind?

  • It's a 53cm. I'm 5 11.

  • 5 star!

  • siince first seeing this i have wanted to try it. i reckon i would love it. and probably never ever wan.. no no need another bike..

  • Oh that's actually pretty nice!

  • Ooooo.

    They dotted the 'I'

  • Mine.

    Excuse the steerer. I havent got around to cutting it down yet.

    Next on the agenda is a new set of wheels, then maybe some omnomnoms.

    EDIT: less 'hipster' version of this photo. http://i47.tinypic.com/2yukges.jpg

  • easier said than done with the paint job

  • Hipster hunter in the background
