Hiya!
My name is David and I’m from Lisbon, Portugal.
This is my fixed gear bike… i started this project by buying a never used frame in a old stock shop in Barcelona… it´s a late 80´s, early 90,s Columbus Aelle frame, and it only weights 1.925 grams…it had no name on it, but a weird paint job in perfect conditions…
The fork is Columbus as well.
So, having a new, never used frame got me really hype, so bought an early 90,s campagnolo chorus crank set, also never used!!…its really light…
The rest its bits and bobs from another fixed bike that i had…the handle bar is leather, the same as the saddle…the wheels are not as special but will do the job.
Cause it had no name i call it REDISH!
The bike was built together with Alameda 10 shop in Madrid.
BYE!

i really like it except the handlebars. not so much the bars, but the tape/wrap. risers just go hand in hand with grips, not tape…and the no barends looks amatuerish as well as dangerous…dont fall on the tips of your handlebars and take a core sample!! red oury grips and its an awesome build IMO

Esfuerzo concertado. una bici maravillosa que usted experto trajo detrás del sepulcro. Los manillares parecen grandes.

Red Tires pull the red splash right out of the frame, fork brings the classic crown to the well chosen components. Nice!

I voted 9, cause I think it need white grips/tape and plugs to go…

I think its really nice, the leather handlebars are different but go well with the overall look of the bike.
Crazy paint job.
Nice bike!

The risers double as a horn.

Thanks everyone for the feedback and rates.
To @illdthedj just would like to say that there is metal bar ends with a whole in the middle, i understand that maybe you can not appreciate it in the foto, even so i have to disagree with you on the handlebars tape: its not tape its red leather wraps…plus there is no fixie law that makes you use Oury grips on risers…also my hands appreciate it cause leather its not the same as rubber. But you right on one thing, is that if i fall, it can be ugly and its harder to skid cause the handlebars are only 40cm short so there is less stability, so next upgrade im planning to put a road handlebars…and they will be sick!
Its a shame because its really nice to ride with those risers!!
Any way see you all soon.
