Fixie Friday no more
Fixie Friday has run its course. There won’t be any more scheduled Fixie Friday posts on the first Friday of the month. Instead, I’ll just be posting bikes when I see them.

Skinny tubes. Raw finish. Love it.

Sorry, I'm a week late with this one, but you can't rush a good fixie!

Love the artwork on the front wheel.

On a side note, Fixie Friday has been scaled back to the first Friday of each month. It's been hard finding new fixie builds lately. It still hasn't diminished my love for fixed gear bikes though.

The classic red and yellow colours of team Saeco brings back a few memories of watching Cipo.

This is it. The last one of the year folks and what better way to finish this year's Fixie Friday series than with this beautiful Cannondale Track.

Not the first time I've linked to this bike for Fixie Friday and with good reason. It's a classic track bike.

A little fast one today.


A work of art. The detailing in the frame is amazing, especially around the seat tube cluster.

Second Track bike of the year for Fixie Friday but I can't deny they are great looking bikes.

Fixie or Singlespeed? Who cares. This Czech built bike is definitely a great looking bike.

Yeah, I know. It's a single-speed. But you can't deny it's a rather fetching bike.

A rear hub that doesn't require you to flip the wheel to switch from fixed to freewheel?
This looks like it will be the start of a new fixie build for 2015.
More death defying bike riding by Danny MacAskill. This time it's back to the Isle of Skye to ride the Cuillin Ridgeline.
Obviously this isn't a fixed wheel bike, but with just a single gear and no suspension in sight, this is about as close as you can get to off-road fixie.

Seriously, I have to question Father Tu's ability to collect bikes like this. Where does he keep them all? Still, this Cannondale Track is lovely.

I've got a thing for black fixies. I think they just look better. And this Bombtrack Needle is no exception.

This gorgeous fixie gets this week vote for it being as old as I am. Glad to see that even older bikes can still be pleasing to look at. Unlike me!

It was a hard pick this week, but this bike from Hispania won out.

And the boundaries just got pushed even further for bike tricks.

Proof that technology and search companies are not the only corporate bullies when it comes 'brand protection'.
Just disgusting Specialized, and yes, the actual Roubaix cobblestones are what first come to mind when I hear the name. Not your bike.
Love the diamond tubes on the frame, really sets the bike apart from most other track bikes.

Being a new frame builder in the UK, I just had to link to this amazing restored 1970's track bike by No Quarter.

Okay it's not a fixie, but I'm really looking forward to heading over to YNOT Cycle HQ to purchase one of the their fine messenger bags in the next few weeks.

... not the beard.

On-one's new 29er looks great.

Functional bike clothing is great, but so is functional bike clothing that you can wear when you're on the bike for nipping down to the shops.
This jacket from iMiNUSD ticks all the boxes.

Fix it on, ride your bike, take it off again.

This type of riding by Martyn Ashton would sure as hell shake up the Tour de France if it had a trials stage. Maybe we need a stage like this to combat the dopers? After all, you can't get bike skills like this through doping.

Rode to work on the fixie this morning. I would have preferred drier roads this morning, but the Scottish weather gods demand that our country gets rain for most of the year.
I am looking forward to more autumn mornings like this where I can walk the boy to school and then jump on the bike to the office, taking the back roads for a leisurely cycle. It won't last long though, winter is just round the corner, and with it comes a new set of riding challenges.
It's been good getting back on the bike, just riding about.
These Bombtrack bikes are fantastic. Especially love the curve on the seat tube.

I wants one of these ...

29" wheels and a double chain ring at the front. Ticks all my boxes.

Never tried riding a cyclo-cross bike, but if I ever wanted one, then this Orange would fit the bill nicely.

via Singletrack
Pretty sure that @andygumley will probably have his eye on this to compliment his road bike. Wouldn't mind it myself, especially since it's a titanium frame.

Awesome use for some old mail bags. I know it's not the usual Fixie Friday bike, but pickings were slim this week.

On-One are doing great stuff with carbon fibre these days.

Full carbon dirt jump bikes? Well with fat tubes like this, it's no wonder it's capable of taking a beating.
via Singletrack
I love my steel hardtail frames, but even I have to admit this 29er from Maxlight looks amazing.
