This is my introduction into fixed gears. Went out on my first ride this morning and damn is it hard. Tons of fun but very unnatural feeling at first. Any tips for a beginner?
Love these bikes. This was my first frame with track ends. Take the rear brake off, leave the front on. Practice slowing and stopping by just backpedaling. Your saddle looks a little low. Raise the seat incrementally as high as possible until your knees are completely straightened out at the bottom of your pedal stroke. Then work the saddle down around 10-15mm at a time until your knee is slightly bent and foot is level at the bottom of your stroke. Have fun

Yo twin
The green with brown accents is such a classy look. Sweet bike to get started on.
Saw a hot middle aged Asian lady riding by on a Masi a few months ago. Sometimes I drift off and still think abou…..
This was my first fixed gear bike same color. Bought mine in 2008 for then to have it stolen in 2011🙁
