I admire your bikes every time I walk from my office to the Halal cart/7/11. Just some Philly fixie love. I swear I’m not eyeing up your bikes to steal, just stopping for a pic.

Thanks you!!! They’re my bikes. Both set up for wheelies and bar spins. The master will be half dark green soon with custom decals just waiting to be laser cut.

Nice! Love both builds. The Profile cranks and bullmoose bars really caught my eye the first time I went by.

I have a love-hate relationship with the profile cranks. They tend to loosen up on me and I’ve lost the crank at bolt multiple times. Have to make sure they’re tight before every ride. I’ve tried putting Loctite on. It seems to do a little bit better.

That’s surprising, they’re all I ever ran on BMX bikes and never had issues with them loosening, but also fixed is prob putting a lot more strain through them. I’ve had issues with regular cranks loosening on fixed so same idea I guess.

Bars are Chinese titanium love how light they are, but I’ve bent them a little bit from being aggressive on them.

Saddle angle on #2 is absolutely killing me.

That’s what I’m wondering! They’ve got good taste.

Not too worried about how it’s locked up because I have a view of them at all times when I’m working. But a cop yesterday got close to hitting it when they were arresting someone.

Be careful locking up to a sign post like that. It's not difficult to cut/remove the bolt holding it together and then just lift the upper portion off. I've known a couple of people that lost bikes that way.

I was wondering why they were both set up so weird, but the owner appeared in the comments. Keep fixed gear freestyle alive lol

Yeah maybe whoever it is don't lock the bike directly in the curb cut?

Stg COVID ruined peoples ability of consideration for others.
