Bro's current frame... he has a different wheel, saddle, bars, seatpost setup now.

My "back-then-stealthy-setup":

I help my bro shoot pictures of him every once in a while with his Canon 30D so I'll try to post whenever we shoot...

oh btw, how much did it cost to have your frame pd? i just sanded, primered, and painted my self

two nice fixies i saw at school:

 

[Jax$MkV]

Cool cool, not bad :smile:.

I paid $85 for frame and fork powdercoated metallic/gun-metal. Found a cheap good local place.

Btw, people get flamed nasty for using the term "fixie" especially the pros that think they're the shit. I don't know why lol.

LOL :wink: . Frickin' expensive hobby though... I was close to selling my bike for car parts lol :frown: . But I love my baby... plus it's great exercise, and at the same time fun.

Fixed gear is fine. If it's a track bike, then it's a track bike... and if it's a road bike, then it's a road bike or roadie lol. That's good that you have hook ups already :thumbup:

Nice. I have a couple friends with fixed gears and had wanted to pull the trigger myself. Then I realized I use my gears way too much. Love the ride and image though.

Do it, you could always switch off from fixed to geared. :thumbup:

I've seen some pretty nice bikes around school. How much does run by anyways? I'm just curious, I live too far from school to even bother biking. But if you can't use your brakes to stop how do you stop? Just put your foot on the ground? OR MAYBE jump off? and wish for the best? =D

LOL. Our bikes are worth over $1100+... it all depends on your setup. Cheapest you can find is probably $300+ for a stock/complete.

You stop by skidding or whip-skidding. When you're riding, it is best to be strapped in by the toes. You Tube it!
