Wow. I need to say it again - wow. I'm so envious.

If I was you, I'd be getting it chromed and coming up with an oh-so-sweet, yet subtle "highlights" paint scheme that pays homage to the ol' skool Specialized days for the main tubes.

I guess it's kind of a muckaround bike for you at the moment, but I'm in love. Nice work, dude.

I have now done about 200km on my fixie, gearing could be a little larger as I spin out going down steepish hills, though with no brakes I have learnt quicklyto control my pace. I have fallen once while learning to trackstand on George St, almost hit a spanking WRX, but the driver could see I was going to fall so he didn't pull up right next to me!

Fixies rule. Everyone should have one.

That looks amazingly fun bro, I think that you've inspired me to get a fixie running.

Haha, I was thinking the same thing! Fixies are becoming the new singlespeeds though. I wonder what trend is going to come after that? Unicycles?

Sweet bike mate!
