                Seriously jealous, I love Bullitts but have no reasonable justification to own one.

                This is my new bike, wanted something for longer rides and for track riding:

                Rode 80 km on it yesterday and it felt really good. I know fixed isn't the most efficient for road riding but I like the feeling more than geared so I'll pay my dues for that. Legs are pretty sore right now 🙂

                      Sweet bike, Jii!  But it's screaming for a Brooks saddle!

                        Sorry, not a fan of Brooks at all. I'm thinking a Selle Italia Flite might work though. That saddle was just something I happened to have already and since I have one like it on my other bikes I knew it was going to be comfortable.

                            Nice, Jii. What's the frame? Rare to see track frames in 'our' size.

                            +1 for the Flite too. I love my Brooks but I don't think I'd put one on that build.

                                  I'm in holiday until Sunday, so your foot may get tired.

                                      And do something about that saddle position  😞

                                          Nice, Jii. What's the frame? Rare to see track frames in 'our' size.

                                          +1 for the Flite too. I love my Brooks but I don't think I'd put one on that build.

                                          Ordered the Flite and since the headset loosens all the time (cheap Miche one) I'm seriously considering to go the Chris King way 🙂

                                          Anyway, the frame is a EAI Bareknuckle from 2006. Got it second hand from a friend. It's actually only a 58 cm frame, I guess the camera angle makes it look much bigger than it is.

                                          I now have two fixed bikes (Leader Mordecai with 29" knobbies for the trails) and the EAI for road and track use. My only freewheel equipped bike is my polo bike (and it's unusable for anything else because of the gearing). At the moment I feel like I probably won't go back to geared bikes anytime soon, riding fixed for the first time in 2006 put a huge smile on my face that hasn't come off since. No cheesy zen things or being more aware of everything, it's just more fun that way.

                                            Wow, yeah it looks much bigger than 58.

                                            I don't have any geared bikes anymore and don't miss them in the slightest. Also - respect for riding fixed off-road  🙂
