So, I’ve been a subreddit member for some time and have learned a lot from you on this forum. Thanks you! My other bike is a folder (mainly commuting) and I’ve been building this, my first fixed gear bike, together with my LBS for over a year now. Crazy. Outside maybe a Weis Ti frame, this is my dream build, or at least something I’m super happy about. (I can’t stop looking at it… ) Anyway, I wanted to build a bike that could go hard and fast, was something fun, and would also kick my butt (from a training perspective). I think this ride (and fixed gear cycling) checks all of the boxes. And IMO, it’s a stunner, so I like that. And yes, I’m going to ride it a bit and then tweak the fit (e.g. lower the handlebars).
​
As I’m sure there will be an ID requests, here’s a short list covering the main points:
* Standert Umlaufbahn Ep. 4, size 54.
* ZIPP Service Course SL stem, 90 mm; ZIPP Service Course SL-80 Ergo handlebar.
* Brooks C15 seat; ZIPP Service Course SL seatpost.
* Light Bicycle Falcon AR56 rims; Mack low flange hubs; Continental Grand Prix 4-Season tires.
* Shimano Ultegra BR-R8100 front brake; Ridea TH1 brake lever.
* Sugino 75 DD2 crankset,167.5 mm, 49t; Izumi chain.
* Kappstein cog,17t.
* Time XC 8 pedals.
