Road fixed / fixed road

42/17 is 67”, I tend to run 46/19 or 66”on my everyday fixed which has guards, dynamo, flat bar, 35mm tyres etc.

On my purer ‘road’ fixed I run 48/19 or just shy of 70”.

My gear is usually the lowest of the group I ride with but I can spin the highest cadence so I’m able to keep up on the descents.

Built up this fixed road bike from the parts bin to leave at my in-laws' for occasional riding.

For what it’s worth I run;
Road; 48/16 (I don’t skid that one!) (79 inches)
Commuter; 42/16 (69 inches)
Shhh Tracklocross; 42/20 (57 inches)
MTB; 34/21 (43 inches)
All these are chosen very scientifically, what I had kicking around at the time, they then just stayed.

That’s the perfect bike for the job!

Very nice

photos reminded me some winter memories

I dropped by the XR training camp on the billboard. They like to start them young.

Added to my fixed road stable by building up my pompino with drop bars again.

Looks great! How does it ride?

Excellent!

Incredibly great! However, you need a smaller chainring

Nice. Are there more pics online we can have a gander at?

Sure

Amazing looking! What’s the seat? Looks v cool
Add a Dynamo front there and it’d be bombproof all year round ride

Dart in road fixed-TT mode.

The issue here is trying to 'enjoy' the downs in the same way as when riding a bike with a freewheel.

That's super

Sram s900 levers and that is my dream bike. Looks gorgeous.

Yeah I've seen this bike IRL and it's really fucking good. What's even worse is that Po is stronger and faster than me, it's always disappearing into the distance

oh nice, now i miss my dart...
it was bought by a courier in Denver so at least that's a plus

First foray into fixed. Why you pedals keep pushin me?

Edit - oh, hadn't fitted the pedals there but I did later, honest.
