fixed gear bicycle
Saw your bike on FGG, very nice. I have a (don't laugh) Bianchi Pista. I put it together from Craigslist as frameset buy too cheap to pass up. I usually put in about 60 miles a week by way of commuting and doing a 25 miler on Wednesday nights with the local bicycle club. I ride brakeless, it's not that crazy really. Just find a proper gear that you can slowdown and spin correctly and pay attention.

This is after I first set it up. I have since switched to a 43x16 gearing.
Some very nice bikes have been posted. I love that blue Cannondale w/the white grips. Have fun and stay safe guys!

Awesome pista man, I love those bikes. I could care less if it's a new or old fixed gear. Yeah FGG people are emailing me loving the photos 
Umm, what else. Oh yes, one guy locally has a pista w/two headlights and a generator hub in the front that he does touring rides on. I'm ready for a bigger gear and to learn some proper skid stops. The lockring always comes loose when I try to experiment.

You can change the number of skid spots on your tire based on your gearing, it's some mathematical equation but I suck at math. So I found this nifty little table.
It's the bottom table. Top is to determine your gear inches.

How hard of stunnin is that? Because I plan on skidding about 2/3rds of my total ride distance and the remainder will be pure backwards circles

We have these new frames (Sugino X Carnival, Nagasawa, Watanabe & Miyasawa) straight from Tokyo that will be available for our grand opening in July.
I was at the Mash SF World Premier last Saturday. Check out the pics online (AFTER the SCION AD).
if you are interested on the frames hit me up at geoff@jdmtheory.com or geoff@fatlace.com

I plan to my bike into a SS too (peugot).

Ive tried for months to get the gears to work and for the life of me I cant get them too.
So I'm gonna ditch them. I plan on doing short hills (takes 5 minutes in a low gear to go up) and some urban riding.
Ideas on what gearing I should go with? Can I use spacers in the rear, or do i have to get a new rear wheel?
Btw, hot bianchi pista man.
I've wanted a light green bianchi steel road bike since i was a kid.
Btw; im keeping the front brakes tho!
