there was a five minute window this afternoon between sleeping in for the first time in three weeks and the impending blizzard that allowed for a quick inaugural ride on the 650c fixed gear.

the thing was solid.

impossible to capture the raw speed of this machine. impossible for me.

totally track stand-able.

i dusted off my canadian tuxedo and took the new bike out to see firsthand what she was capable of. amazing, even though it was a full 10cm too small. oh well. i guess i’ve built enough bikes for myself.
