He has the Midas touch… but he touched it too much.

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

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,

a blinge thing I guess.I don’t get it.

I have a gold plated Elgin Pocket Watch , should I mount it on my Huffster with the one piece Crank?

Hang a sign off of it that says “I will never ride this and wasted all my money being a pompous ass.”

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

where do you live?

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

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.

Si Senor. Top drops and mellow roll. Mahi tacos… muy bueno mi hermano.

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.

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.

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

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

^perfect haha

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.

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

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

10* for sheer opulence and for being so eye-catching.
Wish I could afford to do similar….

Did you build this bike for Bernard Madoff ? or buy it from him? I like it better than carbon plastic.

Could use a little more gold.

It’s a Velocity Deep V. Should be pretty easy to find…
