I think I know what my next project will be...

It's all so simple. It looks clean its extremely functional, and down right fucking cool.

Cool idea, but doesn't it kind of defeat the purpose of a fixed gear? I mean, I have a front brake, but the only time I use it is when I have to, like if a car pulls out in front of me or something. Other than that, I skid stop, or slow myself with my legs. If you're going to ride with that thing, you might as well have a coaster brake.

New frame imminent. Birthday in 12 days. New bike coming soon. Stay tuned.

^wrd. while it's a cool concept, it's not necessary. but I ride no brakes so I'm not one to talk

No, a coaster brake would defeat the purpose of having this disc brake. Considering it's a fixed gear bike, you can still pedal backwards and have a freakin' sweet disc brake.

Farbin.... In your city, they have Thirsty Thursday. Huge critical mass ride.. Heard of it?

[Farbin Kaiber]

I found to rather large rides out here on Tuesday and one on Thursday. Had not heard of it yet. I'm headed out to the LBS again shortly for another shopping adventure.


On a side note I was looking at the disc setup lying on my floor in the garage and put it on the r3fuji, I just have to figure out how.

Yes, on the front wheel. I just have to figure out the caliper mounting.

Think you could get a shot of your fork for us?
