Ace.Metric

Orlando's first and only fixed gear/single speed bicycle boutique.

It's about time that this town have a home base for like minded appreciators of the culture.

Tentative grand opening: NOVEMBER 1st to collaborate with the blog anniversary/trick event.

Keep an eye out and an ear to the ground for more information.

Anyone else feel orlando is trying way too had to be new york? Brooklyn no less? Fixed gear down here is more less a nice trend to add to the scene kids who are way behind on what is "Cool" more than functionality.

And yes im a ny who is stuck in this humid culture wasteland though there are some cool people who understand what is what.

Congrats on opening a bike shop though.

You're not fooling anyone. Remember I am a mod here, on FLFixed and IBOT so it was quite easy to figure out who you were. As if the subject of your gripe wasn't telling enough, my interweb detective skills filled in the blanks. Man up or shut up...

For real man, was that necessary? I don't know who was lamer in all this. As previously mentioned, man up or shut up...

Blackshaw--we went by the spot to check it out. That area over there by the Amtrack station is really cool. Even though I don't know you personally, I congratulate you. Maybe you could get bike kids from around town to volunteer working some hours in the shop...you know, as a co-op sort of thing. I know I would be interested in doing that sort of thing.

I can't wait till the shop opens!
I'm excited you're getting involved with the Cranksgiving...I think it will give people a chance to get to know where the shop is!

Thanks, and good luck!
Kim
