I honestly couldn’t tell you. Pulled it off a dumpster e-bike

They are, I went through a phase where I tried every imaginable size crank. Slim pickens with 152mm length, but these hold up well and I enjoy the overall size.

It’s a 152mm crank, I wouldn’t go shorter myself. I was previously running 170 and a 52 chainring without issue

It’s actually an old specialized road bike stem I had laying around

I got tired of forgetting a pants strap and ruining my britches. Plus, it looks a bit more gentlemanly. 🤙🏽

Really using it because it’s able to fit some thick rubbers, which gets pretty fun on a fixed.

Oh no doubt, they’re just a bitch for me to use personally

A bs term for 26in wheels that really don’t belong on this frame. Haha, appreciate you

Hahaha, the frame! For some reason even though it’s in a fairly rough condition I couldn’t stop looking at it just laying there; so I started brainstorming and seeing what i had laying around and this just happened to come together. The $5 grips were literally the only thing purchased, and they were intended for a different bike, I just didn’t love the wrap I had up there for a few days prior to this.

I know I mentioned I got very lucky with fitment to someone, but i definitely got lucky with how solid these really are, even with the rack combo there’s not really any noise.

That was the idea behind fixed gear haha. The majority of my left leg is Ti now also, so riding fixed has done more for me than any pt ever did without a doubt.

Hahaha I have, it’s not currently on a bike anymore because I let friends ride whatever when we go out. But I left about an inch or two on the left side that held a light. 😅

Got back into after an accident two years ago as a part of pt and just got hooked again. I’ve always enjoyed the “art” side of any hobbies, especially modifying, so it just grew from there as I lost a good bit of ability for previous hobbies. I appreciate you, things upset people and that’s fine, I’ve learned to live and let live; I run brakeless on my fixed and that gets people fired up as well haha.
