fixed gear pics



My old pink Bridgestone 550 has a new black paint (spray can) job.

The pre-1990 Bridgestones are nothing like the Grant Peterson cult classics from the final days of Bstone. This one has a short top tube, no fender eyelets, no tire clearance for anything bigger than a 700x25, and the headset stack height is so ridiculously low (and it has no spacers) that I cant find one to replace it! Still, I LOVE the way this bike rides, feels and handles.

The Lego skeleton has been hanging from the mirror in my VW for years. Once the car died, It only seemed fitting to make it a headbadge for my new ride.
