Notes:

Hey there from Baltimore, MD! This bike is my first build, but second fixed gear. I learned a hell of a lot building it up and am thrilled with the final product. It is so so so much fun to ride! I wanted a really simple look, which, I think, is what I've got here. And the color... mmmMM!

PS- That is Billy in the third picture, our house cat. He loves my bike too!

PPS- I don't know how I made this mistake or how I went so long without noticing it, but my frame is not a Gorilla. Jesus! What a silly thing to overlook!!! EAI x TOYO Godzilla... not Gorilla.

Cool frame

Submitted by massconfused on 04/03/2009.

How does it compare to the EAI Bare Knuckle? They look nearly identical - at least here and on the Gorilla site. Maybe made by the same people? Any idea what kind of steel you are on? My first gen Bareknuckle has 1" steerer too. Anyway.... dope ride. enjoy it!

I couldn't tell you a thing about how they compare. I have no experience with those frames. :T

I bought the frame and most of the parts from Ben's Cycles online. They were great. I would definitely recommend them.

..I've spent a lot of money at Ben's, I've just never seen the Gorilla frameset on their website. And still don't. Why am I missing it?

Well, when I bought it a little over a month ago there was only one: mine. Heh... so gosh, I'm not sure why it is they only picked up one. :\

It came in candy blue (augh) which I promptly took care of as you can see. :)

Super nice build. Is this one with a 1" or 1 1/8" headtube?

Becareful riding those Dia Compe tires on the street. They are really weak and get pinch flats easy if you hit a bump and are also prone to punctures. They also wear down like butter when skidding.

Submitted by Sgtsalt on 04/02/2009.

The headtube is 1".

And actually the tires are Continentals! The hubs are Dia Compe. :)
