- Clipless seems like an odd choice for a fixie.section_014
- and disk brakes.deadsperm
- single gear != fixedzarkonite
- Not all single speeds are fixed. Single speeds can be freewheel or fixed, this one has a flip flop hub by the looks of it allowing for either ...RoyBoyII
- I was wrong, single speed, no fixed: https://tinyurl.com/…OBBTKN
- looks like a Skywayfooler

I had a bike just like this when I was a kid...
I just bought this modern GT BMX up for my son's 7th birthday...
https://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image…- we all had similar BMX. Those were good solid bikes with simple mechanicsBennn
- mine was all white and orange, white tires!Bennn
- BMX bikes are still to this day stupid simple. Geometry has changed, frames and components have become more solid.soundofreason

- I had a V8 back in the day, best DH bike I've ever owned.zarkonite
- milfhunter1
- nice. i have those tires. quick and grippy.rootlock
- This is rad, if you want it to roll faster and get up hills easier, chuck a set of Kojaks on it. They are over half a kilo lighter (1.2 pounds) per tyre.slappy

- @slappy Thanks for the tip! But this bike would never see a hill since i only will you use it in the Netherlands. :Pmilfhunter
- I've never seen an elastomer stem like that before, very cool. Overall a very nice classic bike.BuddhaHat
- I have considered a Redshift or Cane Creek eeSilk stem, pretty much only positive reviews. This looks like the OG version, so cool.slappy

I ended buying this bike.
I delayed the purchase so long specially because the father of my partner was very sick and died short after Xmas that I forgot about Brexit and that after the 1st of January one had to pay customs...
I'm very happy, it's my first brand new bike since I'm an adult.
I will use it as a commuter when I need to take my little one in the child trailer tot the market, to the Kindergarten and for tours.
I'm building a bike for other occasions like when i need to leave at the railway station and plan to repair my fixed gear this Spring.
- I ended up buying this bike...oey_oey
- nice!brt44
- I will acquire a hub dynamo to replace the front hub for light and had to pimp it up a bit for safety and transport reasons. would love to strip it naked thoughoey_oey
- Looks great! Somehow, I don't really know what I need. I have no kids and actually will rather use a backpack. I just ordered mudguards to mount on my old bike.SimonFFM
- Sorry about your father in law.SimonFFM
- Thanks Simon, I t was pretty fast as he was avoiding taking care of symptoms for a year. Cancer.oey_oey
- Diagnosed and gone in two months. Well he really didn't care somehow and then it was too late.oey_oey
- Back to bikes,I f you have some hills to bike in the city or small tours just get a bike with 8 gears.oey_oey
- If you an still use yours and take some time to make a research cn on which bike that's also okay.oey_oey
- But mind you that at least in Germany bike prices go up in Spring. And there's lots of sold out models...oey_oey
- ...because people bought bikes like crazy during the pandemic.oey_oey
- If y o u have an old bike that you can use mostly but then want a better one for some t in more that's also a good option.oey_oey
- I have a trekking bike which is 12 years old. It's ok, just thought, I could use a new one. A bit out of boredom and because it's nice. Not needing a new one.SimonFFM

Looking at the Cervelo Aspero for Road/Gravel ( Black and gold OR black and red?):
https://www.cervelo.com/en/asper…
...how many of you have more than 1 bike AND your wives/boyfriends/lovers are okay with it?!
: )
- I used to have 3, I don't mountain bike anymore so down to 1 but never had an issue with the gf, lucky me I guess!zarkonite
- That's a nice bike, get the gold!zarkonite
- Currently have 4, one is at work though in the city, so won't be seeing that one til next year I recon. All different builds. I think 5 is a good number.slappy
- I’d go with the gold too. I’ve got 3, my wife has two and our daughter has a balance bike. Everyone’s happy.ben_
- Gold too, nice bike! I've got 4, (2 for road, 1 old for the roller and a mtb) wife is happyOBBTKN
- If you're after more of an "all roader" as opposed to a more gravel specific setup, Cervelo just released the Caledonia.skwiotsmith
- It's the middle ground between the Aspero & the R5. I'm particularly interested in the Caledonia 5...haven't had a chance to test ride one yet tho...skwiotsmith
