Meh. On a mountain bike you ruin your shoes so having a pair of mtb shoes is logical. I'll have to take pics of the shoes i wore when i forgot my mtb shoes one time haha. Theyre so shitty its not even funny

On a fixed gear bike its obnoxious. I have MKS sylvans and soma clips on my fixie.

I guess i should have said i feel awkward without pedal retention.

Same, riding without foot retention bugs the shit out of me. I have the same pedals/clips. Quad gates, or dual?

[So Live]

Quad gates. Im happy with em so far. Some people dont like em i guess..

[silversleeper]

okay, so i don't know shit bout bikes, but i know that i enjoyed bmx bikes in my younger years. i wanna get back into it and have no clue what i should get.

I came across an ad for a Swobo Folsom... whatcha think bout those?

[Jand3rson]

Same, I have them with 2 sets of single straps. I want to get proper doubles, but I don't has the money for them.

Do it. I want one, that's a seriously hard-ass bike. And the price is right.

[T Verdier]

Right on dude. I love clipless. Now i feel awkward riding flat pedals haha. How are those shoes? I need some new ones...

They where the only full on MTB shoe that fit. I tried almost all of them shimano, specialized, sidi, all had the top strap to high up and it would rub and cut into the front tendon on my ankle I geuss I have a very thick ankle.
But I love the way they fit I just need to do some fine tunning.

Hey guys, haven't really posted a whole lot over here yet but was curious as what bike would be good for me. I used to ride bmx a few years ago and my bike, s&m call girl, got stolen so I am lookin for a new ride. I want a fixie that will get the job done and is appealing. I've been looking at the swobo sanchez but is out of stock. Let me know what you guys think

[So Live]

Maybe look into a Mercier Kilo tt from BikesDirect. Nice entry level bike. I think im gonna pick up one ofthe frame sets one of these days...

Im pumped, me and my buddy just went in and split one of these cameras:

Kilo TT is a pretty solid entry level bike. Join f1x3d and look around

I just sold it yesterday. Built it up with weinmann (sp?) DP18s in bright silver and cheapo drop bars. I sold it to my friend Jon from school who got fed up with his SE Draft (never buy an SE)

The Bareknuckle is handmade in a small shop in Italy, and they are true track geometry. It's a truly magnificent frame and the detail work is top notch. I would reccomend it to you but i don't know what your budget is. The Frame/Fork combo can be found anywhere between ~634 to 800 dollars depending on where you get it.

What's wrong with SE/Draft in particular?

SE's like the lager are respectable, but the draft is cromo, and uses bmx size cranks.. etc

[machined]

Wish I could find last year's Lager. This year's is a little on the gaudy side.

This is not how to "create" a fixed gear. Jesse?

My next bike:
Only thing different is it's going to have Fox 36's up front.
