He's right. If its not fixed with foot retention, how the fuck is he gonna stop with a freewheel and no brakes?

 

[muse-phoenix]

[Steezeman]

Ted Shred life.

 

[charliemein]

[DonaldM]

It pays to get hit by a car. $2000 allowance for the local shop. Dream bike right here

 

[Steezeman]

^ Sucks but that's a lot of money. Going to get a Low?

not mine but i want one haha

Rear brakes instead of front brakes is silly but chrome is cool.

I just bought this from a local company since I need a fast fixed gear again.

Just picture it with drops, hoods, clipless pedals, and a front brake.

Nice Alex! I've been following State Bike Co for a while, I've been wanting a fast fixed to commute on during the summer.

I have one of their snapbacks on right now actually hahah

 

[Steezeman]

Even though they're China bikes it's cool because they're local (to me). Plus the owner is rad and does a lot for the community here.

20 minuet bump since Alex Steadman is online.

 

[Steezeman]

Get brakes and/or foot retention, flip your stem, slam your stem, and possibly raise your seat because it looks somewhat low. I'm impressed that you knew I was online and check this thread.

 

[DonaldM]

get rid of the spoke card

 

[Steezeman]

I got my new bike but haven't put it together. I still need hoods and a new saddle for it.

I had no idea there was a fixed gear thread till I saw a scooter thread on tricktrack. Anyways... A couple buddies of mine have a crew going called dontgiveafuckspringbreakupsidedowncross2007bicyclegang dgafsbudc2007bg for short.
