Fixie Bike riding to another level…
Fixed gear bike rider Steven Jensen pushes fixed gear riding to another level. Filmed in San Francisco, you gotta watch his last trick!
49cm fixie build…
I picked up this small 49cm frame-set used off of Craigs, I already had all the other parts ready to go for a fixie build. Its what I beleive to be a SE Racing “draft” or similar model, Im sure alot of these come out of the same factory overseas. The frameset was pretty clean [...]
Shortyfatz Bike Co. / POPS Fabrication
I did a tour of the Shortyfatz Bicycles / POPS Fabrication in San Jose just before a Bike Party ride and was very impressed. They hand build their frames themselves right here in San Jose with guidance from long time bicycle frame builder Dale Sasso. Selling a limited amount of bikes each month keeps the [...]
Leader 722 Track Frame
Just built up this Leader 722 aluminum track frame for a freind. He was riding a steel Leader frame but really liked the look of the thick aluminum tubing on the 722. Oversized headest and steel reinforced dropouts. The color is flat black and had lettering that were just decals but all that got peeled [...]
missing parts?

IRO track bike
IRO makes great steel track frames, this one is a 52 centimeter. I built it up with white rimmed Weinmann Deep V’s with black spokes and black high flange sealed bearing hubs. All white CST tires (very basic ones), WTB “Clamp On” grips and a threadless “A” headest. The cranks were just basic cranks but [...]
FUJI Fixie build
Vintage Fuji Japanese made bicycles are great bikes . Frames made from “Tange” steel tubing with Suntour and Nitto components. This vintage Fuji was converted into a fix gear bike. The bike was barely a bike when I received it missing most components and having some of the wrong ones. A Sugino “RT” crankset was [...]
53cm Custom Fixie…Sugino, SR, Alex Rims, Michelin, KMC
This 53cm Fixie conversion bike was built in my garage bike shop a little while back, some guy from SF came and bought it. It was a “Univega” frame that friend traded in to me for a bigger frame. I sanded and cleaned the frame up then painted it with a PPG Toyota “Sanddrift” brand [...]
