Here’s an obscure build you guys might appreciate, a custom 2012 Specialized Pfix. This bike was almost entirely stock when I picked it up a couple years ago on Craigslist for $100 and have been slowly modifying it to my liking. It kind of blurs the line between a BMX and FGFS but rides like neither. It’s really more of a brakeless, overly-durable cruiser. I’ve discovered the “2 bikes-in-one” idea follows the design philosophy of a Swiss Army knife but honestly, it’s perfect for me! At 6’4” 200lbs, this thing really caters to my size, and riding style, and that’s all that matters to me! I love how it looks, I love the geometry and I love that it’s a specialized!
Here’s a list of the parts…
Frame: 2012 Specialized Pfix
Fork: stock Pfix forks
Handlebars: Odyssey barmitzvahs
Stem: Profile mulville top load
Grips: ODI longneck
Headset: stock Pfix w/ primo dust cover
Cranks: Odyssey thunderbolts rhd
Bottom bracket: came with cranks so idk
Sprocket: Odyssey mds
Pedals: Odyssey twisted pros
Chain: Odyssey bluebird half link
Seat: some Specialized seat that’s comfortable
Seat post: no idea but it’s tall
Wheels: I bought these as a complete wheelset from the Fit BMX website. They were on sale and I needed something temporary because the stock wheels were in bad shape. Currently in the process of building my dream wheels. Stay tuned!
Tires: Maxxis DTH 26×2.3 folding in black. These are my favorite tires I’ve ever owned! And these were the first modification I made to the bike!
Weighing in at: 29lbs
This is also my first post on Reddit! Hope you guys like it!

I really fw that. Looks like a blast
Unsure of what to even think of this lol. Regardless, it is most certainly unique, and therefore sick. Cheers.
Neat
