That bike looks like a well built up version of my bridgestone.

At 42mm, they’re actually aerodynamic. I’d hate to ride that on the street even if it looks cool as fuck because of how harsh it’d be (not really into how 30mm deep rims ride as it is), but that could make a killer race wheel for cheaper than carbon…

I looked up the british store that was selling them last thread. didn’t seem absurdly priced but they lacked drilling options for aero use and are a pretty shitty option for riding around on.

These were posted like two months ago. Anyway, if they come tubular and in 32-hole, I’d probably snag a pair and replace my track wheels.

I’d guess that the North American “distribution point” is going to be EAI, in which case these should be hard to get and expensive.

I think I already mentioned I want these. But I’ll say it again, I want em.

Right now fixed gear startups are mostly just releasing the same stuff, lugged steel frames and t-shirts and messenger bags. I’m hoping for more interesting stuff like this in the future.

edit - These would look awesome polished to a mirror finish and clear powdercoated.
