With all this color I couldn't resist taking a shot of this Portland hipster single speed bike.

Photographed on a Sunday afternoon exploration with Kiyoshi-san, Mari, NJ, Sun, and Yukiko-san. East 11th Avenue, Vancouver. October 4, 2015.

A single gear - no brakes bike. It was parked at the grocery store.

After being and on-and-off-again avid cyclist, with my 40th birthday rapidly approaching, I've decided to go back to the absolute cycling basics; ride a single speed, fixed gear bike.

My intention was to source and old racing frame and build a fixie myself, but a quick search on-line unearthed this second-hand beauty for sale.

It's an On-One Pompino frame with a Muscle carbon fork, Planet X front wheel, HALO Aerorage rear wheel and fixed hub.

It's a short, but steep, learning curve on riding a fixie, but what an experience. Highly recommended.

Fort Track.125.DB. Built by Mend-a-Bike in Fulham - the best bike shop in London. Steel Tange Infinity Frame, Pyrotec Carbon seat post, Titanium-railed Brooks Swift saddle, Miche chainset and hubs, Mavic rims and Crank Brothers Eggbeater pedals. SO FAST. MMMM.

Please note - this bike was stolen on 4th. August in Richmond, London. It is unique - a complete one-off, custom built for me. If anyone sees it or is offered it for sale - please get in touch on +447973890392 or call Richmond Police. Reward offered.
