Notes:

This bike is the mix from my passions, build within the framework of a "gentlemen contest" from the french fixed gear community (http://www.pignonfixe.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=7207&page=1). The quest of (rare) parts was the big challenge to respect the budget limit of 200€...a lot of chance, and help from friends. I hope you will appreciate it

too short? or are you running 28s or something that would prevent you from pushing your rear wheel farther forward? i think toe overlap on something like this with such relaxed angles and all would be pretty annoying. should have just gotten a kilo tt.

Submitted by Doctor Worm on 09/16/2009.

Hi,
can you name the shop you have bought this rack, or do you know a way for me, sitting here in germany, to get one or maybe more of them. I really love the look of them and i searched so long for those porteur racks.
By the way, your bike's fantastic!!!!

Amazing. If Hermès made

Submitted by gridplan on 05/24/2009.

Amazing. If Hermès made bikes, I imagine they would look like this. I especially like the hip flask. Proper hydration is so important! ;)
