Well, I’m not in any shape to ride today, but the sun is (partially) out and riding is coming back. We were off to a great start this season, with a rather dry-ish April. Well, mother nature forgot about her “April showers bring May flowers….” and she replaced it with “May showers bring June (mosquitos?)…”
I’ve started to build the actual fixedimpressions.com site. There is now a crude page up there, and I’ll be creating a gallery of fixed gear trail bikes, kind of like Fixed Gear Gallery but only for trail ready bikes. Feel free to send pics and details of your trail fix by email and I’ll put your bike up on fixedimpressions.com. For now at least, it’s totally free to you. Remember to send some build info, not just picts.
The only rule is that it must have a fixed gear on at least one side. And, no slicks. Trail ready knobs are required. Though it’s up to you to define what that is. I used to use 700/28c kenda knobs that were lighter than many road tires of the same size. Well, back in the day anyway. They lasted about two weeks before they turned into slicks.
Over and Outty.
