That's amazing - I wonder how much that structure has compromised the strength. Any idea who made it?
Hey, its made by me.
I started to make that frame at sunday evening. Its really experimental project and
made out of recycled material. Inspiration for shape was old Raizin time trial frame.
Sure its not most strong frame on earth but I didnt mean it for über trick use anyways.
I tried to make some test driving yesterday and today for it, but we just got 20cm
snow so its kind a hard. I wanna be sure that it stands normal wheelies etc. before
I finnish and paint it. Othervice it feels fun to drive!You can find many more pics from my page www.ollierkkila.com :)

Isn't that song Chick Habit? I found this original thanks that cover song too.
Tarantino has best taste of soundtracks in my opinnion. I get lotsa inspiration for
my work from his movies too!?I'm so exited of this Fixed stuff after all choppers/cruisers I built, I cant wait to
start next (crazy) Fixie project.. Hope it will not be too Hip... ;)-Olli

Cannon piece from web, but I dont know is it just proto or will they produce it.-Olli

Dude do you know where slovenia is?
Hahaha. Yep, street bike parts are easy to get here but. Fixed or pure track stuff
is hard to get here. Here used to be 2 velodromes but last one closed early 2000.
But, thanks internet everything is close!-Olli

I need to check in autumn when I get back to Finland if I could make small series of those
forks.Fork and axle is made out of scratch, exept thread is adopted from old fork.
Hub I use whit it is from wheelchair. Its hard to tell how I made it whitout pics.
Its kind a machining, welding, grinding...-Olli

a bit more wild.-Olli

Ah, here is our small Slovenian Fixed Gear Blog. We have 3 bikes know here at the moment ;)
Me my self I'm from Finland and at the moment living here for this summer.-Olli
Haha! Its my "kosmos" bike. Its not very serious project, so do not take it so seriously. Its like
moving art piece. Its "all show, no go trick bike" ;) No, but its really made for driving, but its made
out of recycled material and ofcourse its not lightest or strongest bike. Those wheels are made out
of RST rims and spokes are steel, complete wheels weight about 2kilo each, for how I made them
I'm suprised how straigh they actually become. I should try to get non drilled alloy rims and I could
try to manufacture some sets out of aluminium.
Here you can find some other pics of it: Flickr
and some making of photos at my website
Have nice weekend!
