That’s one sharp looking bike.

Really nice! How is the ride without leather or foam grips on the handle?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Doable when dry, but I currently do have leather Brooks straps (matching the saddle)

Nenn mich altmodisch, aber ich sehe an dem Bike überhaupt keine Bremse mehr :D

Soll das so? Was ist mit der Rennleitung?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Ich vermute mal die Rennleitung sieht es nicht so gerne 😉

Ansonsten kann man z.B. so bremsen: 😉

Nennt sich fixie, hat nur einen Gang ohne Leerlauf.. sprich die Pedalen drehen sich mit dem Hinterrad und man bremst indem man versucht rückwärts in die Pedalen zu treten. Sieht zwar nett aus so ohne alles, aber halt auch unverantwortlich im Straßenverkehr meiner Meinung nach.

Well... To be honest I am cheating a little bit. Fixies are cool, but in a city like Rotterdam it's also a bit suicidal.

I have used the rear hub from SRAM which is often used in foldable bikes. That way I can coast, it has two gears (shift automatically due to centrifugal force) and it has a back-paddle brake.

That's also why I don't have to use straps/click ons.

Hey didn't know about those, that's a really cool idea!

Ah hi to NL! According to german law, you would have to have a front brake too. ;)

That's why I always carry an extra stick :)
