It took a while building up the whole bike.

Many thanks to people all over the world from which I got my parts,
especially Box Dog Bikes in SF, Hubjub in UK, Bells Bikeshop in Phillie. All in all very nice people, which helped me a lot ...

The frame finish is hilarious, also geometry is aggressive, which I really like, it reminds me of my Cannondale Crit, which behaves pretty similar ...

Let me know what you think!

Awesome build man! Cool to see another Gorilla, 'cause there's not too many of those on here..
I'm also considering getting either 75's or Miche's for mine, even though it's barely finished..

Ride on, peace!

Frame Builder

Submitted by jdnoperiods on 07/16/2009.

Do you know if the frame builder is the same for Gorilla and the Bareknuckle? Nice bike though, I really like the Gorilla frames.

Yeah, they look pretty similar, both of them are built in Italy, that's all what I know ...

I sure as hell hope you

I sure as hell hope you don't skid, because you are running THE WORSE gear ratio for a brakeless fixed gear. With 48x16, you only have ONE skid patch, meaning your wheel will be in the exact same position each time you skid, always skidding down the exact spot on the tire. Here, take a look...

Submitted by fixmixer on 08/25/2009.

did you find the gorilla on the larger side for a 58cm? Im looking at getting one. I normally would ride a 52 but Im not sure if i should go with the 50.

this 57.5 is definitely

Submitted by plateau77 on 09/09/2009.

this 57.5 is definitely large enough for me ... If you usually ride a 52 you should definitely go for a 50.
