Sold it

Not remorseful really but just miss looking at it. I’ll have another singles speed at some point I’m sure.

I must’ve fallen into a hole of some sort. Anyway, came to me senses a few years ago and moved back to Austin and forgot to log back on.

Well, welcome back to ATX and the forum. Saw your Breezer which I'm sure you will enjoy around the CenTex trails.
I always enjoyed seeing your bikes especially that classy townie you had.

Not used to riding off pavement and ended up getting lost yesterday and found myself on some rocky/roots single track which was interesting. Need to prioritize getting tubeless set up.

Purged bikes a while back and no longer have the townie or the nature boy either. While I was sucked into a black hole I also had a little boy(pretty late to the game) and sort of had a hiatus from riding but am getting back into the swing of things again.

Sadly the soma also got neglected for about a year and a half before I sold it. When I built those wheels I repurposed the hubs from a wabi wheelset that I used to have. Have always spun smooth and fast.

@franswa cool to see a pic of your Rush again. Seeing that bike on here was a big reason why I bought one.

Sure thing. My build went a little different direction than yours did - I had initially set it up with drops but my back prefers townie bars and being upright these days

Thank you! And no, those are 28s. Fyxation's tires seem to run a tad wide - they're a pretty tight fit.

Gave my single speed to my youngest son. Now it's roaming the street of New York city.
