I love to ride this bike. Mid 1980′s mercier, repainted with old school decals.

Really really nice. I love your pedals. This is a bike that would look really good in track grips as opposed to doing a full wrap. Looks like a fun ride.

yes,full wrap not needed,tops already padded,track grips works great.

Brilliant. I love the minimalism. The slim chainring, discrete pedals, black on black on black machined rims. The vintage theme is genius, and I think track grips and a dia compe/dura ace brake setup would complete this build. Cheers.

This is phenomenal. Thumbs up!

Very nice! Classic, minimal and fast looking. The black spokes to silver nipples, back to black rim looks great. I hope you wrap the top tube with something where the bars would strike. Gave’r a 10.

I think jqnyc had it correct in http://www.myfixedgear.net/another-kilo-tt-2 “LONG LIVE THE KILO TT!”

A dime a dozen?

I am building my first fixie, and I don’t have a rear wheel. How do you guys get rear wheels or build them for your fixies?

wtf is this? HOW DO YOU ALL DO IT.
I’ve been working on my fucking peugeot all summer and it still doesn’t EVEN WORK!
meanwhile, in a sparkling urban metropolis, Koesnul Prabowo and the fixedgear.net crew race around on works of art. It’s just depressing.
beautiful bike. I’m going to try to steal it.

Stunning!!! Absolute beauty!!!

Hey where did u get the excellent decals???

Stunning bike. I could never enjoy it though… Too precious. I get all hung up on the price and the fact that bikes like this are nearly museum pieces –at least to me. I love bikes –all bikes. But, I love cheap, new track frames with expensive parts for riding –at least to me. I also appreciate the conversions and restorations but then I have the same issue. Theft and marginal road conditions in my locale tend to dictate how I have to “enjoy” riding. Love the Dura Ace pedals.
