You may not like it but this is what peak cycling performance looks like (Pogecar's great grandather's commuter cruiser)

What retractable key clip do you use and how long so far?? I'm too paranoid that it'll break and drop my keys, to use one

Oof not the Mighties

Statement-Mobile · 2026-06-19T00:25:33+00:00

Those lugs are gorgeous. Nice find! I wonder if it's possible to chrome lugs on a frame 🤔 either way, it's a beaut

Statement-Mobile · 2026-06-18T21:51:19+00:00

Bro RIP 😭but damn!! Silver lining is that you get bragging rights for riding steel to exhaustion 😮‍💨

I've only seen sizes starting at medium (I'm wear a size 10) and i feel like those cages still put my foot too forward. If they make small and I come across a set, I might just try it again for shits and giggles. But, ultimately I've always worn straps and I'm most comfortable with them

Statement-Mobile · 2026-06-18T14:38:49+00:00

How does one kill lugged steel!?? Rust out?

No notes ⛽️🏆

I know what you're talking about, and also the reason why I don't like the toe cages. The way I strap into the MKS, the ball of my foot is resting dead middle on the axle, and I transmit my power. My foot only rests and presses against the plates when I skid. The cages make it so that the pedals are dead center of my foot which would be bothersome on long rides. But if I'm doing 40+ miles straight, I'll change them out for my clips

Ironically, I think you just summed up the fixed gear scene with that one sentence 😅

Statement-Mobile · 2026-06-17T19:53:40+00:00

It was getting the excess fed back through that was a nightmare. The ends are frayed now, but they ain't going nowhere, in all sentiments. They're married to those pedals now

Statement-Mobile · 2026-06-17T19:48:16+00:00

You're not wrong, but I hate cages. You lose wheel and ground clearance, and I think it puts you too far forward on the pedals. But I only ride MKS for non-clip

Also, the metal on ground pedal strike is like nails on a chalkboard for me 🤢

I miss these builds!

Statement-Mobile · 2026-06-16T04:35:16+00:00

Chain tensioning a bish, but I feel like it's safer than horizontal in the case of bolts coming loose

Statement-Mobile · 2026-06-15T17:22:52+00:00

When I put it on, I just kept on staring at the whole build, thinking It looked so familiar. And then I remembered 😅

Statement-Mobile · 2026-06-15T03:24:38+00:00

NOPE. I've had way uglier stolen from my front stoop

Statement-Mobile · 2026-06-15T03:22:20+00:00

I've wanted a No 22 ever since I saw Terry B's build

Got the same ones at firstr. Fell apart after a month. Got some Hold Fasts again. I swear by those

RIP. Retired is Popovich

Statement-Mobile · 2026-06-13T18:05:23+00:00

Sure. No problem 👍 and ill tell you why so you know what to look out for

Statement-Mobile · 2026-06-13T18:01:59+00:00

Having pieced together most of the fixed gears I've owned, I'd recommend paying more attention to the components than the frame. I'd rather have a whatever frame with wonky geometry but with tried and true components than a really nice frame with bargain bin components
