After spending a month in Portland, Oregon, the fixie desire was just too much. I'd not had one since I was a student back in the 80s. So, when I got back I set to combining parts from here, fleabay and my spares box and built this up.

No skinny jeans or dodgy haircuts for me. Nor will I be skid stopping.

So where's the front brake lever?

Brake levers fit into the bar ends.

Not bad but you need to lose the brakes, put some cards in the spokes and get some nice flat bars:

about 2 fist widths should do you.

Also should wear your sisters jeans

Just back in from the maiden ride. 26 rolling miles against a gusting wind in the dark. I'm loving it, but might gear it down a tooth for the climbs around here. Downhill cadence was a blur. 😀
