It's an "everyday ride". Not so much a trick bike.; April 9, 2010 3:22 PM

Sorry tricksters, the primary goal of this bike was to build the most practical fixed-gear bike possible. The focus was not to create a freestyle bike, nor was it to create a dedicated track bike, but to combine elements of several into a bike that can serve multiple purposes, while still offering the flexibility needed for every day use. All-the-while pushing a moderate 76 gear-inches.

Those are the words of the folks at Give&Take in Tampa, where the bike was built. I'm unbelievably happy with it; Jordan and Melissa managed to build me exactly the bike I was looking for regardless of how difficult I was and how many unavailable parts I wanted.

Thanks for the post 407 - hopefully this build will get to see o-town soon!; April 9, 2010 9:20 PM
