2. The Classic

The Story : ” This is my first attempt at building a fixed gear bike. I’ve been riding minimalist singlespeed coasterbrake bikes for the last 7 years, but never a fixed gear bike.
I wanted something with a local flavour, style over function. It then had to be based on a Shanghai Forever bike, with old script graphics. I’ve had a number of the “iron horse” bikes but choose a smaller framed one for this as they’re quite bulky. I stripped everything apart from frame/fork and the basic handlebar. In the Phoenix garage shop I managed to find Forever alloy rims, and the remaining parts are a mix of new, old and customized parts from Speedcats darkest corners. Its now rideable, but I’m hoping to get a chrome seatpost, real leather saddle, polished steel crank, polished fixed sprocket and perhaps brown leather pedal straps. “
