Marinoni Special (1991)

I put a front brake ('90s Campy with Suntour Superbe Pro lever) on this after coming uncomfortably close to an untimely death. You see, while riding downhill, I began to skip stop on what I found to be a slightly loose cog. It popped the lockring off its threads and unscrewed completely from the hub. I managed to stop myself by jamming my foot between the fork and the front wheel, narrowly missing some parked cars. I never rode BMX so this was a new method of stopping for me. Anyways, now I'm not so cool because my fixie has a brake, but I'll take a little security over being accepted by the local fixie gangs any day.
