Title: Retro BMX Fixie Rippers
Post by: hunterdubber on November 13, 2009, 07:41 AM: Well I've not seen these before ,so I take it it's one of Mr Alan Woods' own twist on the fixie scene

Good idea too :daumenhoch:

They look nice but I think a fixed gear belongs on a velodrome and nowhere else as they struggle with big climbs or descents so all they're good for is posing IMO. You could use a freewheel but that would defeat the point and then there's the issue of it not having brakes. ??? I hope the tyres are good as a fixie skids when you do need to stop and a naff tyre doesn't last 2 minutes.

Crazy :D
