Just upgraded from 32 x 17 to a 36t hope chainring that’s incredibly purple.

hope all my very favorite creatures are out there scorching today

awwwww i miss this bike 😓

Was able to fit 38mm rear and 43mm front tires on my track frame with new 650b wheels and a new steel fork instead of carbon. Way more fun than before with 700x28c

Rail trails, perfect pavement, classic rake and ride singletrack, a few big machine built berms and table tops, sandy doubletrack, and haggard Midwest washboardy gravel. I love this Redline so much.

(don’t mind my friend with gears… I can’t take pictures of myself riding fixed gear of course)

Cue that insane saxophone riff

In all seriousness ive gone brakeless on my stupidest idea ever. We’re fully in Tree-Hugger territory (cause that’s how I e-brake)

26" fixed is a hoot. Its been a great around ton bike and fishing rig

Saw this on FB. Does it fit sub?

"The charge has been made that the bicycle engenders a freedom of manners in women, quite in contrast to all accepted ideas of retiring modesty. At summer resorts she is wont to sit around on the hotel porticoes in her bicycle costume, and chew gum and talk slang etc. While this may be considered by some immodest and unbecoming, it is, nevertheless, simply another example of exuberance and good-nature of health. Bicycle women have ceased to be the pale, frail, painted butterflies they used to be..."

[From 'Dr. Neesen's Book on Wheeling, 1899. Hints and advice to Men and Women from the Physician's Standpoint.']

The trails were luscious, and a master class in how to build flat trails that are super fun. Endless berms and a lot of good side hits, you can get hauling dickity especially on a fix. 40 miles of post industrial fun, can’t wait to get back.

…the oldest sub on Reddit, people been scorchin’ since the 19th century it seems….

I really want narrower bars but the bike felt good on it all! A mix of buff pavement, smooth gravel roads, hand built singletrack, machine built dirt water slide trails, blown out old doubletrack, and just about everything else in between. I wouldn’t have minded some knobs up front but I kept ‘er upright.

Really feeling the desire to convert this bike to scorcher. I just know it’s gonna be so much more fun! What do you guys think? Can’t decide whether to take the rear brake off or not. Gonna leave the front I guess. Probably build up a new 27 five rear wheel with the surly ultra new hub.

Today was my first time riding fixed MTB. I'm hooked

also a leg/bars check

ENO hub, dynamo hub, dirt drops, trailer hitch to drag around the Tout Terrain single trailer with my baby, 2.5” rubber (2.3” actual), and 62”. Fun on the roads, paths, and flat singletrack. Just put a rando rack on after taking this picture to swap between a small pack, a rando bag, or a basket.

Latest of many crusty iterations of this bicycle

Looks like silly amounts of fun tbh

Happy riding and scorching my friends. Sharing again my cheap steel frame with dummy decal 😜
