I imagine Im older than probably most people here, and definitely not cool enough to be here. I just bought my first fixie, got a great deal on a fuji league. I think its awesome, but I also have a feeling it makes me a poser. I hope not. No pictures yet, but they are coming soon.

Not a poser if you genuinely enjoy riding a fixed gear, brotha. There isn't just one model for what a fixed gear rider is. Cats have been fixed gear enthusiasts before it became trendy and these same cats will continue to ride them when the trend is dead.

Sorry if I cast some kind of negative vote on your post, Im pretty new to this and it was unintentional. Yeah I love riding this fixed gear. The bulk of my cycling is for triathlon, but Im using the fixie for commuting and just pure fun. Im loving this bike because I dont have to train or push with it, its just pure fun.

Hi my name is Lloyd and I'm from Carson, CA. I've been riding fixed gear for about a year now. I started off with a Gavin Solo Bike and I'm almost finished building up a 54cm white Specialized Langster. Pics available shortly.

You got my attention with white langster. I'd love a pic of that. Welcome to the forum my fellow california native.

Subject: Re: * * The Introduce Yourself Thread * * 1/11/2011, 10:19 am

Thanks! I should be finished building it and have it up by tomorrow

Subject: Re: * * The Introduce Yourself Thread * * 1/11/2011, 11:10 pm

which langster is it? They havent really come in white for a while. I know the newer steel frames come white.

Subject: Re: * * The Introduce Yourself Thread * * 1/12/2011, 1:24 am

It was the 2010 frame

Subject: Re: * * The Introduce Yourself Thread * * 1/12/2011, 5:37 am

The only langster for 2010 that came white was the steel one. The aluminum one was black. Unless you painted it. I'm curious if you can't tell,lol.

Steel frame. Not bad. Those frames are cool they're comfy. White is the less common color too. I like the gold. Good color combo. If only you had a proper stem. Thats the only thing i'm not diggin about it. Other than that stem, thats a real sweet ride. IMO.

Subject: Re: * * The Introduce Yourself Thread * * 1/12/2011, 12:18 pm

yea this was a go-around until the one i ordered arrives in the mail.

Subject: Re: * * The Introduce Yourself Thread * * 1/12/2011, 12:19 pm

That 26.0 clamp isnt gonna clamp your risers most likely. Got drops or bullhorns? Risers are usually 25.4

Subject: Re: * * The Introduce Yourself Thread * * 1/13/2011, 12:36 pm

i have bullhorns off my old bike i was planning on installing

Subject: Re: * * The Introduce Yourself Thread * * 1/13/2011, 8:57 pm

Finally got a pick of my bike. I know that the ultimate sin is having the reflectors on it, but I have to ride at night a lot, and they make my mommy feel better.

get some knog lights bro. they are cheap, effective and those reflectors take away from your bike's look.

Subject: Re: * * The Introduce Yourself Thread * * 1/15/2011, 2:10 am

Nice color scheme

Hello Everyone,

Been kind of trolling the site for a couple weeks and decided its about time for me to stop being a creeper and introduce myself.

I'm from the Bay Area, CA but have been living in orange county for the past few years (school/work). I've been building my first bike, and all the info on this forum has been very helpful. Thanks!

Subject: Re: * * The Introduce Yourself Thread * * 1/21/2011, 12:59 am

What part of the bay area you from?

Subject: Re: * * The Introduce Yourself Thread * * 1/21/2011, 3:36 am

I'm from San Leandro/Oakland. My family still lives up there, but just got stuck down after school b/c of work.

Subject: Re: * * The Introduce Yourself Thread * * 1/21/2011, 5:14 am

Oh cool i grew up between fremont and hayward, still live here.

Subject: Re: * * The Introduce Yourself Thread * * 1/24/2011, 10:42 pm
