Front Side

I’ve been riding fixed for a few years, and even though I love my Fuji Feather, I wanted to get a nicer bike and build it up by myself. This is the result!

Specs:
  • Frame: Mash Steel Neon Blue/Green Fade
  • Headset: Chris King NoThreadSet Black Sotto Voce
  • Bottom Bracket: Sugino MB608
  • Chainring: Sugino Zen 47T
  • Cranks: Sugino 75 DD2
  • Chain: Izumi ES410 Black
  • Pedals/Straps: Wellgo B219B with YNOT Cordura Straps
  • Cogs: Dura Ace Track cog 16T and BLB Track Sprocket 18T
  • Hubs: Mack Superlight Low Flange
  • Rims: H+SON Archetypes
  • Tires: Continental Gator Hardshell BE
  • Stem: Bontrager Pro Blendr Stem with 2 GoPro mounts (one SP-Connect for my phone and one for my light)
  • Handlebar/Tape: 74GRAD Bullhorn Bar with Fizik Tempo Microtex Classic 2mm
  • Brake/Lever: Shimano BR R353 with a DIA COMPE Goldfinger
  • Seatpost/Saddle: some Matrix Seatpost with an old saddle my dad had lying around

Yes, I have reflectors on my bike, unfortunately it’s mandated where I live and I don’t want to start an argument with the police, since only having one brake is already a legal gray-area and I don’t want to push my luck.

Otherwise, this bike has been great fun! I currently have the back wheel flipped to the 18T cog, cause I’m learning a few tricks. When I’m back in shape, doing some more local alleycat races to get some more spoke cards, I’ll swap back to 47:16 though.

Also, I love the color. It looked nice on the website, but irl it’s just as wild. When it’s overcast, the bike almost seems to glow, I don’t know if the pictures do it justice.

I’m also thinking about upgrading the saddle. It’s not horrible, but definitely doesn’t fit with the rest of the bike. I’ll just keep my eyes peeled for good offers in my local community, maybe I’ll find something better!
