Owner's Words

Hey everyone, I am very new to fixed bikes. Ummm this bike is my first real bike because I built it with the help of Kevin Legaspi and Brandon Duong. They were a big help on this project. So the story is that I rode on K.Legs and B.Dongs bike and I fell in love with it. So I looked into a bit more and got more interested. I got this frame and wheel set for free. I bought everything else with Brandons help. I found my colorway when I got my wheels and thought gold would look perfect with the red.The saddles are temporary, I will be getting a white saddle really soon. When I buy my saddle I will also be purchasing some white Oury grips as well.
