This is my first fixed gear. This conversion was built for me by a friend, and I've changed a few things here/there since then, with plans to upgrade a few more things. This thing is truly a lead sled--it weighs a ton and def has some flex. Approximately a 54-55cm. Currently researching and shopping for a track frame with tighter geometry to build a lighter/stiffer bike with better components in time for when the sun returns in Seattle. At that point, this Fuji will be a beater/backup/commuter.
Shouts to: Jordache for getting me hooked on fixed gears, aznj for building this bike for me, GHY Bikes in Renton for being friendly/helpful, and Recycled Cycles in U-District for their ever-changing used parts bins.
