24 Karat , pure gold is too much. Nice start 007 for the movie / not the street. What size lock will this need? a 10 for unique set up. Thanks
March 3rd, 2010 @6:36 am
If you take off all the labels and stickers it will look like the fine piece of jewelry it is.
March 3rd, 2010 @7:30 am
On the stickers, I’m making an overlay for them out of real 24karat leaf but depending how it looks may just have the frame gold plated as I found someone who will do it,

this thing is crazy, be careful though it may end up hanging from rick ross’s neck.
March 3rd, 2010 @8:16 am
a blinge thing I guess.I don’t get it.
March 3rd, 2010 @11:36 am
I heard gold was currently @ $1000/ounce. If you have a gold tooth…it’d be perfect.
March 3rd, 2010 @12:50 pm
I have a gold plated Elgin Pocket Watch , should I mount it on my Huffster with the one piece Crank?
March 3rd, 2010 @1:34 pm
Dang! Watch for the haters, if you get caught in the wrong hood you will get got.
March 3rd, 2010 @2:14 pm
Hang a sign off of it that says “I will never ride this and wasted all my money being a pompous ass.”
March 3rd, 2010 @3:54 pm
disaster
March 4th, 2010 @11:31 am
Get a different stem, saddle, tires, and change that god awful bar tape and you might have a decent looking bike. But I mean go for what you like. I think it looks tacky though too much gold
March 4th, 2010 @3:34 pm
I am at a loss for words, this bike is just f-ing horrible. It’s like when some jackass pimp’s out a Dodge Neon and thinks it’s the new hott shit!!!
March 4th, 2010 @4:35 pm
where do you live?
March 5th, 2010 @1:43 pm
The whole bike is about excess and apparently that got noticed. I like excess and thats probably why I have been riding fixed gear bicycles for 45 years and now at 60 still knock out a couple century’s a month and have been in the habit of never riding less than a couple hundred miles a week. This Langster has 4 century rides on it and I plan to ride the devil out of it or one of my other fixed gear bikes here in Utah or down in Southern California where I hang out. The Rolex and gold plating the frame is a bit over the top I admit, but so is my plan to ride like the wind till I get run down or die, I hope I make it to 70 cause I just might build a platinum plated steed.
March 5th, 2010 @2:04 pm
well i still don’t get it but i must work for you.just be sure to post the platinum so we know you made it.enjoy
March 5th, 2010 @3:14 pm
My hats off to the shirt. Now that you put the bike in perspective it makes 100 % sense. Good for you and I have only been riding fixed for 4 months. I would have enjoyed it 45 years ago instead of my Schwinn Balloon tyre but it was free and I was nearly ignorant and am still learning. Thanks for posting this work of Art which is actually ridden. Can you post your wife’s bike too if available? Thanks
March 5th, 2010 @3:32 pm
Wow. That’s some serious mileage, fixed. My longest ride fixed so far was a little over 30 miles. Downtown SD to La Jolla and back, fueled by fish tacos and cerveza.
March 5th, 2010 @3:55 pm
ng, I bet you were on the top of the drops after a couple cerveza. I have had taco de lingua but not yet pescado. muy bueno amigo.
March 5th, 2010 @5:57 pm
Si Senor. Top drops and mellow roll. Mahi tacos… muy bueno mi hermano.
March 5th, 2010 @6:40 pm
I respect the rider and the context but it still seems completely irrational. Carbon fiber is excessive for road use but at least serves a purpose. I honestly can’t understand status symbols, they just aren’t my drink of choice. But maybe rationality disappears when you get to this age. Maybe this is an MLC sort of thing.
March 5th, 2010 @7:50 pm
On the mileage I have good days and bad days cause those frame angles beat the heck out of you and I don’t really think the carbon fiber fork helps that much, but I seem to always get it done. As for the wife’s bike, anyone who rides this much isn’t married but I do have a girlfriend and I posted the bike I built for her on here, look under the archive section at Masi Fixed, I am about to attack a century ride on that one I don’t think she will mind. As far as being irrational, ok I will wear that one and if you want I will post a couple pictures of my other bikes that make more sence, but I only enjoy pushing the envelope if I can push all of them, this time I pushed the build envelope with gold.
March 5th, 2010 @9:19 pm
if hes hanging on so cal on this bad boy, he better be careful he doesnt get robbed. shit, no hate on the rider or anything but if you brought it to boston id rob you for at least the rolex and the gold leaf, u can keep the bike =)
March 5th, 2010 @9:25 pm
Irrationality knows no age. For some it starts at birth with circumcision, others pierce the ears of little girls, others wear wooden shoes and ride fixed wheel bicycles, still others reclaim land from the sea, others build walls to keep their brothers out. If we were Amish we would have single speed fixies all one color……….Black. Peace and drink Negra Modelo and have a couple tacos de lingua with your biking brothers of all colors or just have a Hot Chocolate and Twinkies.
March 6th, 2010 @6:45 am
this is the mirror image of ration,a celebration of yes I can.fixies with no brakes make as much sense as a veggy lion or this ride.Long rides to you shirt.I think I’m beginning to get it.thanks,enjoy!
March 6th, 2010 @9:30 am
Fiscal rationality. Of course riding brakeless is irrational and illogical but it doesn’t cost you an excess. And sloman—this isn’t an Obama rally
March 6th, 2010 @9:59 am
I’ll be posting my pimped out Bianchi pista soon. Solid silver rims with vintage 1870’s pearl inlay from the rare pearls from Hagata bay Japan. the spokes are made from steel from the World Trade Center in honor of the dead victims of 9-11. The tires are cast from authentic Amazonian Brazilian rubber supplied by the Bonti Tribe. I broke open the welds and re-did them with silver from a silver mine in the hills outside Mandoza Argentina in honor of the 120 miners that died there in a collapse in 1982. All ball bearings have been resized and fitted from the engines from the Enola Gay (the Bomber used to drop the bomb on Hiroshima). The brake pads are made from the felt of a vintage Stetson derby reputedly owned by Charlie Chaplin (but we have no way of knowing for sure). The handle bar is a riser crafted out of the steel from a section of the Titanic propeller that was especially brought up by a boutique bike parts company in California. The grease was extracted from Polar bear fat but dont worry. They were not killed by hunters but there bodies were found as they drown swimming between melted ice flows (they did not die in vane). AND the saddle is made from the scrotum of a Sperm whale (very comfortable). Im off on my round the world ride. BTW, I turn 70 next month.

You haven’t heard irrational yet, like last fall when I rode my Tricross Fixed over the Donner Party Route 200 miles from Grantsville Utah to Donner Springs including hiking it up Hastings Pass then down and across 100 miles of the Salt Flats using Pilot Peak in the distance to navigate over sinking salt on top of mud. Did it alone and self sufficient, took me 5 days to cross those flats, and only made it cause I had prepped the route with food and water before hand, yeah you could say I am a bit irrational, but its what I do, darn that was nothing, should have known me when I was younger
March 6th, 2010 @10:04 am
^ Hahaha! Awsome!
March 6th, 2010 @11:36 am
^perfect haha
March 6th, 2010 @12:40 pm
geez… i thought 40miles fixed was hard enough, for me atleast
March 6th, 2010 @12:51 pm
Notice the Gold Finger ride has frt. and rear brakes, he did not get rich by being stupid or careless. Jqnyc can you make me a hammock out of thet sperm whale nutsack stuff. and some jerky for those long rides. If I ride brakeless it may cost more than a kilo of gold to repair my noggin and that would be excessive and irrational and may earn me a Ghost bike with no tyres.
March 7th, 2010 @1:01 am
I don’t ride brakeless because the only good place for brakeless is the track, unless of course you’re a hardcore hipster from the streets who likes to keep it real. As in the fender of that Dodge Ram 3500 is gonna leave a real bad taste in your mouth.
March 8th, 2010 @8:18 am
On the brake issue guys, remember that I have been riding fixie’s for 45 years and have had more than my share of mishaps along the way, I am too old now to waste time healing and its time to be more careful. I have a true brake free fixie or two that I use to ride around the neighborhood, but I heal too slow to ride through downtown on one. I use brakes on my wilderness fixed gears too because if you blow it where I ride you may get eaten, last year just west of Fort Bridger in Wyoming I rounded a corner and came face to face with a bear, a rear wheel lock up stop in the mud is not an option here. Also in the spring riding in southern Utah I come across too many rattlesnakes on the trail, can you say brakes don’t fail me now. I ain’t making any of this up, it’s just what I do
March 8th, 2010 @10:57 am
screw that! if i was riding through the woods in utah or wyoming im pretty sure id bring some manner of firearm with me, although… i dont think anything i could keep on my bike wouldnt just piss a bear off. I’ll most likely be putting my front brake back on, theres a big downhill on my commute home from work, i dont really have a stand on the brakeless/ brake riding.
March 8th, 2010 @1:44 pm
a weapon big enough to stop a bear would be cumbersome.and why kill him.you’re riding in his hood.a good brake is nice to have sometimes.skid stops on dirt,rear wheel only,would take forever in the face of yogi and who wants to be a pici-nic basket,eh BOO BOO?we won’t even talk about snakes
March 8th, 2010 @3:56 pm
A 357 in a shoulder holster may feel real good. Thanks.
March 27th, 2010 @1:33 pm
10* for sheer opulence and for being so eye-catching.
Wish I could afford to do similar….
March 27th, 2010 @1:40 pm
Just get a bike from gabe and have it gold plated.
May 8th, 2010 @11:15 am
Did you build this bike for Bernard Madoff ? or buy it from him? I like it better than carbon plastic.
June 14th, 2010 @6:14 pm
This bike needs more votes. Nice build.
June 14th, 2010 @6:34 pm
Could use a little more gold.
July 29th, 2010 @10:11 am
I need this rear wheel, anyone know where to get it?
July 29th, 2010 @10:18 am
It’s a Velocity Deep V. Should be pretty easy to find…
