So much more ridiculous with drops on it though. I literally could not even get to the saddle when Jammy had it. It was like being a kid again :(

Jeeesus! Can't you think of something for yourself..!!?!?? (:

You can't maxxeblack it either, that's been done to death.

I was thinking of matte grey, dead gunmetal stealth ting.

All I can think of when looking at that picture is how difficult it probably is to look this
awkward and inept on a bike. The sheer cluelessness amazes me.

Well, I'm not saying that doing something difficult or dangerous is pointless nor stupid. Let me try to get my point straight. Riding the Stelvio on a road bike is already difficult. Doing it on a fixed-gear bike (like Seabase) is a lot more difficult. The problem is that the whole added difficulty lies in using a bike that is not adapted to the task. I admire people doing difficult things, but voluntarily making things more challenging by not using the most adapted tool is what I find a bit pointless. I've never seen anyone jumping cliffs on a slalom snowboard, or doing backflips on a Honda Goldwing, although both would be exceedingly difficult and require lots of dedication. Saying that, I don't mean to disrespect Seabase's achievements or any of yours, in the end, as you and andyp said, it's the personal satisfaction that counts.

Sorry for the interruption,

If only you could change down a few gears in life... That would make it a lot easier. Right?

My understanding of riding up anything on a free wheel bike, is that most people change down to the easiest gear and pedal like crazy sitting down, not traveling very far, then they get tired and stand up. There is no chance to free wheel up hill. So you might as well be fixed because the freewheel is constantly engaged.

So the issue is really which gear do you pick and how many gears do you have in your legs. Some have more than others. In which case some tools are right for some people to do a certain job, which would not be the correct tool for someone else. Graeme O'brie went through this and so did the lotus bike designers.

I don't see your point of view and you will never see mine.

As you were! ;)

I prefer driving up hills

exactly to my point of view.
and if we're going back to the first years of the tour de france, those guys rode up 400km with their fixed bikes, up and down.

for me it's a bit like that not the best bike or the easiest gear ratio wins, it's the human on the bike, the power, the legs.

but at the end i don't care, there's space for everything

FTW

I like riding a low pro in the city, it makes me feel like i'm always riding down hill... then when you go up it's like you are riding on the flat.
