Saddle, tyres and tubes, and the fixie is complete....option of running brakes also. Took another 2in off the fork. I don't think I can slam her down to the max and feel comfy...I ain't getting younger or more supple.

 It's totally different? You know me....trying different styles out, just for the experience. Imagine cruising down the dusty outback on this single speed heading for the beach....no oil/air/shock settings, high expense or weight...just get on and cruise. Cheap to run and build bro...???

 looking great man, the race machine is almost ready to hit the local track,,,you guys are so Lucky, you have vĂ©lodromes all over the place, I would have had a similar rig a long time ago if only there would be an indoor track anywhere nearby...I still have to wrap my head around the whole fixed gear thingy...it's definitely the only logical setup for the track, no doubt about that and also, it must be the tit on rollers and trainers but,,,when on the road, I'm still trying to figure how you're supposed to handle tight corners if the bike has to keep on turning those pedals ???,,,or what happens if you need to go down a steep hill, does the bike feels like it's going to lock up because you just can't up on the crank rpm ???...

 I tried the Wilier down the park fixed....really hard slowing down on bends, in and out around people whilst still trying to ride and keep momentum. I see some vids of riders strapped in to the pedals, locking the rear wheel for a second to slow down, also the back bunny hop technique? Lifting the back end up slightly, locking the back wheel, like skipping skids to slow the momentum down....this is going to be a laugh, or put me in hospital lol !!!

 If it goes like it looks it would be great . Personally I would like gears and a flat bar but I would have no problem riding this as is

 She ain't that bad....I raised the stem, and chopped off another 2in off the fork steerer, so she feels not too high-not too low. I'm running the stem -* also to match the top tube geometry and bar level. Waiting for the tyres now, but got some stuff coming for the Wilier also.
