What I dream of riding:
What I actually ride:
Both are old ideas build anew by enthusiasts that love what they do.

What I actually ride:
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!

Just bought myself a fixie, as part of my latest effort to get fit. Pics when I get back home.

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

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.
