if this makes you feel an emotion, than it's a successful build. its the most comfortable fixie I've ever rode, and at 30 years old that's all I could ask for.
48×19 (19 skid patches) with 700x35c tires front and back. the chainstays are stopping me from going any bigger. once I figured out the frame could fit 35c I bought the full carbon gravel fork. I paid for the whole steer tube, I'm gonna use the whole steer tube.
I drew inspiration from those vintage quill stem + pista drop setups, but honestly, the drops are still too low 😂 I'll probably get a different stem soon.
I came across an aero seat post and seat clamp at a bike shop one day and knew it could fit this frame, just had to make some cuts and drill a hole to make it fit. it originally came with that god awful compression seat clamp.
I encourage everyone to build some strange obscure bike like this, you'll love it.
PS – does anyone know where I can get a 6 inch carbon AERO spacer made?

I’m down for some sketchy shit and I genuinely would refuse to ride this. Have you considered buying a different frame and just building it up, you know, safely?
I have so many questions. What does the geo feel like with the handlebars floating two stories above the headset? Are you concerned about the leverage on that steerer? Stress fractures aren’t usually visible in carbon and if you’re getting rad on that thing it’s sending a lot of torque to whatever is just above the headset.
Kinda looks like a bike if Dr Seuss did a book on velodromes.
Brother ewww
You could of achieved the same fit if you had gone for a different frame. But if you love it
