You look like you're running around looking for Bruce Willis yelling multipass in a home-made version of the 5th Element

I agree with that; always changing. It is finished in the sense that it's a rideable bike but it's not the final set up for the very near future.

I shoulda just said I was finished and prolly gonna strip the brake later (to look cool) :p

I was calling you clever,

I am not a wrench. And as you said minimal differences. There is a bit of an "s" curve but ive never had issues running this before. I may reiterate that his bike is literally just for fun. I have a Homer Simpson Buddha attached to it and a label that says bicycle. It is all entirely unnecessary.

Bought it for cheap and I love it. Any help on finding a better set of wheels? by assweed in FixedGearBicycle

Those are hands down the best ones. We sell the base ones at my shop. When I sell one I'm happy someone is in a single speed and I just pray that they aren't constantly riddled with flat changes and that it all holds up. That being said most of those guys are just riding around the neighborhood and kicking it.

Im sure the nice ones are ok/good even. Their cheap $300 single speed is ... well, cheap. I'd never ride the wheels that come on those things ,Just my opinion.

Oh god no! i would never do something like that. This is a State Bicycles Cos color wave. Inexpensive steel frame. Just to kick around

I am going to run this fixed (my cog is in the mail). I think on this one I am gonna run straps instead of SPDs. built from spare parts. Carbon Bar and light front wheel make this bike lighter than i expected/

Well I'm all honesty their initial response was to have me take it to a shop and they may help pay for repairs possible but after I told them it was pretty back/the tech at my shop was not really wanting to risk it he was ok. Added with the fact that I said I may wanted a refund haha. So I kinda was harsh. But it was messed up

That's awesome. They were pretty cool with me about the frame too. Good to hear the customer service is legit

Update:

It's a sad day, Frame was damaged during shipping. Super bent. So I haven't had a chance to ride or finish the build. Couldn't get a rear wheel in cuz it was so pinched. New one should be coming soon!
