Fixed Bike

my friends oskar, simon and even lucian told me, that if i wanna get a bike and since my way to work is kind a flat anyway, i should get a fixed one!

well i was in london last weekend and sara took me to this shope in bricke lane! the bricke lane bicycle shop.
it opened quite late so even we were to early :p but once you enter the shop you’re just amazed!
the hole shop is filed with bicycle parts! kinda like a roll-laden for bicycles, and the staff is really nice!
aviva helped me to choose my the parts, well she basicly recomended me stuff (not to expensive but strong)
and i choosed colors, cause i don’t know nothing about bikes, i didn’t even bike for about 10 years maybe?

so i choosed all the parts and one of their mecanics was set for a mission, it was a saturday (the weekend is really busy) and i had to fly back to zürich on monday! (unfortunatly i forgot his name, sorry!)
but he did a really great job! he builded it up on saturday, and sunday morning we just had do cut the handelbars, and then he even let me go for a ride, befor he took it apart again and packed it all into the huge box! (that i wasnt allowd to bring on the bus!)

a bob jackson handmade frame from enland, with green wheels! :D

i’m so happy like a little kid on xmas! :p
there is just one thing that irritates me a bit, the chain makes some wired noise like if i would be changeing gear, but there is none!

and i don’t have a name yet! (so suggestions are more then welcome!)

now it’s about learning how to ride it, and a co-worker was so friendly to give me some inspiration :P
well i think it was more her husband thats really into the fixe bike thing.. but here you go! enjoy!
