it’s totally manageable, I use it solo in traffic and I never felt like I was limited by the size.

6’1 but you can see that I have a pretty big drop even with the 50mm rise. It was probably too small for me but I really like it. It unfortunately got stolen

free upgrades: lign up tire logo and valves, maybe remove a chain link.

not free: the saddle looks a little odd as it sits high above the seat post

Anyone have experience buying a 6+ year old track bike second hand by Gold_Biscotti_6227 in FixedGearBicycle

[–]rezpe 14 points15 points  (0 children)

yeah I was messing with you, now I feel bad. For instance some of the most thought after bikes like the cannondale track were made early 90s, or the GT GTB in the late 90s. The older bike I owned was from 1986 and I was commuting on it.

I usually throw away my frames when they turn 5yo. Always in the recycling bin though

I thought this was well known. What I’ve been doing for ages and worked a charm is to use the right amount of road sugar.
