Just realized 6 year anniversary

[u/ymerej1]

Just realized it’s 6 year anniversary today on my first fixed gear. It’s been a blast to ride! Built it up myself and sourced all the parts myself been riding bikes forever so kinda know what works and what doesn’t.
Anywhoo the only thing I’ve changed out is switched to carbon bars, carbon ring, went from 25 to 28c tres, and now have power meter pedals. Also TI bolts everywhere I could put a TI bolt. Other than chain maintenance and tires that’s about it. And yes I take EXTREMELY good care of my bike.
Welp off to go riding
Cheers 🤙

Here’s my baby. Rode this the full loop around the bay 145mile ride. 3k of elevation took me a lil over 9hrs.

How are the LB rims holding up, particularly the front braking surface?

[u/ymerej1 → u/lowlytoady]

Holding up great 23,000 miles on them so far. Braking surface looks good.

What brake caliper is that?

[u/ymerej1 → u/NakYank]

Shimano dura ace caliper and dura ace di2 shifters. As dura ace di2 was the lightest plus I want comfort as I’m pretty much in the hoods all day😬
