Tassels are super clutch, check wheel clearance. IMO I wouldn't ride anything with less than a 2/15R12 tire. FWD fixie is the most cafe riding shit I've ever seen. Integrated storage is way ahead of its time. All the new bikes are coming with it, so it's a good pickup. 100$ or bust.

"FWD fixie is the most cafe riding shit I've ever seen." Makes for advanced haptic feedback.


troiscanons

come on, slam that stem


sjuas690

Think I’ll replace it with a Thompson one.


feedingfitness

Gotta swap the pedals. Clipless of GTFO!


sjuas690

I thinking egg beaters since it’s a brakeless fixie.


IWant2rideMyBike

From my early stunt work with a similar model (I didn't get fringes for aerodynamic reasons) I wouldn't recommend using it going down underground car park entrances with sharp turns. 200 is clearly overpriced, you can find it for around 100 on Amazon and I am sure on the second hand market you should be able to go even lower.


sjuas690

Titanium frame!

There are so many kids bikes out there for free! At the San Francisco bike kitchen we get donations every week, but can’t give them away fast enough.


MikroArts

Maybe that one is good, but i highly recommend: https://www.kinderkraft.rs/kinderkraft-tricikl-3u1-4trike-sunflower-blue It is great bike for toddler and can easily transform into regular balance bike which will help kids to easy learn how to ride bike If you can find something like this in your country i would highly recommend!


sjuas690

I like the color scheme of this one.


Competitive_Wall3852

I tried these on a mountain track, and it's perfect 🔥🔥🔥


sjuas690

Good for jumping?


Competitive_Wall3852

Yes, you can literally fly with that bad boy.


sjuas690

Looking forward to catching some big air!


_CyclingAddict

Be sure to get a bikefit


sjuas690

Yep - might to raise the saddle a bit!


Ulysseus9673

Man, I was 110% sure I was on bcj.

I’m having a bikesmith convert it!


PickerPilgrim

Aero rims so deep there's no spokes at all. Gonna be fast but scary in a crosswind.


sjuas690

I’m getting my bikesmith to change the straight bars for drops so the cross wind load should be reduced but still going to be fun on the downhill sections when time trialling!


Beerfoodbeer

Wheels need to be deeper


sjuas690

Running slick tyres to reduce rolling resistance.


HyperionsDad

What type of tire pressures you running on that bad boy?


sjuas690

100psi on the front and 110psi on the back.

I got one for $90 last year from Walmart - not sure where you are, but Walmart in Canada has them for $140 right now They’re good - toddler likes them, but there’s little traction and the front wheel often spins out before he’s able to pedal forward https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/Radio-Flyer-415S-Kids-Readily-Assembled-Fold-2-Go-Trike-with-Storage-Bin-Red/402ND24E4GCN?offerId=F08781EEB14D43A19FDD82ED556FFEA3&cmpid=SEM_CA_32692_K8JG7OXTRN&utm_id=SEM_CA_32692_K8JG7OXTRN&utm_medium=paid_search&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=always_on&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADv6L0QX0O0eYXjkRQfJOs84plWdl&gclid=Cj0KCQjw6uWyBhD1ARIsAIMcADqr9lP0KnzP8V45aXEVMve1ZjEiKR_hlJEM6mDWWipLQiudUwfczuUaAl_kEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds


unionguy1980

My boys loved it.


ArtistryofAdventure

I'm not big on tassels but those are pretty rad.


sjuas690

Yep - really stand out when doing alleycat races!


Titan_Arum

In my opinion, it's missing the attachable awning. My toddler doesn't leave home without it.


sjuas690

Here you go! https://preview.redd.it/h06bdnrf2s3d1.jpeg?width=816&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1aad0dbf95e393cc87cdba12a8cc1c978929dcb3


Titan_Arum

If a penny-farthing doesn't have an awning, is it even a penny-farthing?


sjuas690

Something like that.


SaxonyFarmer

Go clipless on the pedals.


sjuas690

Yep - way to go with a brakeless fixie!


SaxonyFarmer

It would make going downhill interesting.


sjuas690

Rubber legs!


cyberfood

Might be a bit small for you


sjuas690

I’ve got short legs!


cyberfood

Oh! Perfect then!!


ohhallow

Would advise against riding it around snowbound hotels in Colorado.


sjuas690

Good tip - I’ll remember that in case I run into someone claiming to be Johnny!


StableAcademic9941

Can’t go wrong with the classics


sjuas690

👍😃


Suicicoo

what part of the "bi" in "bicycling" don't you understand? 🤔


sjuas690

The extra wheel bit!


Raerf

“Can I do my first triathlon on this?”


sjuas690

Go for it! 👍😃


jedimstr

Jaunty angle, wheels aren't aligned, too many gubbins on the handlebars. Just a Nice.


sjuas690

Good enough for me! 😃


DepletedGeranium

wrought with incurable drivetrain issues.


sjuas690

Yeah - tends to weave a bit a high speeds but think I can handle it! 😃


the_Bryan_dude

Make those wheels and seat metal and that would be my first bike. This one is also too shiny and has too much paint still on it.


Majestic_Constant_32

I thought this was bicycling.


sjuas690

Yes but either an extra wheel.


holmgangCore

Looks pretty aero. I’d ride it!


sjuas690

I’m getting a skin tight time trialling suit made with aero helmet.


vomer6

You need to upgrade the bearings


sjuas690

Year - I was thinking upgrading to a Phil Wood bottom bracket.


peascreateveganfood

You just need a white van to go with it


sjuas690

I was thinking of a large estate car with several spare ones strapped to the roof rack!


SocksofGranduer

I prefer mine with a better gear ratio. That's why I only ride bikes like this if I custom make them myself. It's because I'm better than everyone else in this subreddit.

Absolutely!

unbalancedcheckbook

I'm not a fan of the new materials. Steel is the way to go on a frame like this.


IntroducingHagleton

Haven’t genuinely laughed at anything on Reddit in a long time. So, thank you for that…


sjuas690

👍😃


Active-Bass4745

It’s ok if you’re looking for a fixie. Red always costs more because it’s faster.


jonnynoine

Best r/bicyclecirclejerk post ever.


HerbanFarmacyst

Damn fixies


Dementat_Deus

Love the tassels and the direct drive pedals, but you got too many wheels.


sjuas690

Yeah - that 3rd wheel does make leaning onto the corners a bit difficult!
