This here was my first ever fixie-machine that sent me down this rabbit hole that is bieks. Such planey buttways :heart:


This was when I first laid my hands on my Viner and it’s first version. Damn that cockpit was stupid and heavy, full Nitto B123 and Jag-stem…

Also here are the rest of my tarck/track bikes (with the exception of my Kilo TT which I can’t seem to find any pictures of… it was my first non-conversion)

This was another tarckers at one point, though I didn’t buy it from them. Fun bike but a bit small for me.

Built this for myself to race on, once I got the T3 I switched it to Sw8 fixy mode

Got this cuz work.

I remember so many people had the Kilo TT

I wont flood the thread with all of the shitty conversions I’ve built over the years, but here are a couple near and dear to my heart.


If that gold alpha mercury could’ve fit bigger than 28s I’d actually be sad I sold it.

Yeah, but I’ve had that thing for SEVEN years now, so I got it in my youth

Aluminum is real.


I still ride this when I get a chance. This 12 year old photo is pretty close to how it looks now.

Oh boy. That one was a mess. But I loved it.

Not much love for bullhorns in here. Didn’t see any chop and flips at all except for mine. I guess most of y’all we’re of a later generation.

Started with this (lol)

Eventually made it to this, with serious help from this forum

I had a blue Bianchi Pista. Ride it for 2 years and sold it while it was still worth money.

Oh fixies. Here’s the ones I’ve had.

This is not a comprehensive list. There are a couple missing from the 2007-2013 era. Since then everything has been pretty well documented via instagram.

2007- ~2011 (RIP, fell on the top tube and folded like a wet noodle)

circa 2011-2013 work bike (fork failed)

circa 2013-2014 work bike (spidering with internationalpartydude)

2015 work bike

2015-2018 work bike (RIP, stolen)

2018 with a partsbin build. Currently setup way way nicer than this.

TC never had a fixie and thankfully this thread hasn’t made me want one yet
