It’s not that often lately that you see a fixie with box-section wheels that looks so damn stylish. And that’s a shame. While deep-section rims just look plain ‘ol bad-ass, there’s an art to classicism. Whoever put this one together got all the pieces right. The San Marco saddle has a subtle print on it, I dig the smallish chainring, and the ITM quill stem (into a Time carbon fork) is decidedly old-school without going too far. And the radial lacing up front is a nod to modern, if deviant, wheelbuilding practices. I’m totally digging the full-drop ergo road bars (and hoods), especially given that this is a traditional road frame, with derailleur-ready dropouts and shifter bosses. Nice work.

Apologies for the blurry picture, but I didn’t want to be “that guy” holding up foot traffic. A couple things here: large-diameter aluminum frames look better on larger frame sizes, and this is a monster of a bike. And I’m feeling the modern/classic component mix, from the San Marco saddle to deep-section rims. Dare I say…dope fenders? Outside Equinox, NYC.
