It’s been around the blogs, but I found it on the Slumworm blog the first. It’s the Medium sized PFIX (Specialized’s fixed division) V2 complete build.
I’ve never made a secret of me not liking 26″ in FGFS, but I have to admit I like the looks of this bike…
Most 26″ FGFS bike just look kinda wrong in my opinion, but this is one of the first 26″ complete builds I could see myself ride…
I know, it’s scary; me being 700c for life, saying I could ride a 26″ bike…
I’ve never made a secret about me not liking 26″ wheels in FGFS. I might have softened my opinions about them, coz people are seriously killing it on 26″ setups, but me personally will never be seen riding a 26″ FGFS bike. But that’s mainly coz I’m too tall…
700c for life!
And now Wolfdrawn made a really nice shirt to support us 700c lovers! Get it here.
Dear FUCCIT followers,
As you might have noticed, the amount of posts on FUCCIT has gone down drastically.
I survived the first 3 weeks of my new job, well survived sounds dramatic, coz I love my new job! But since my new job is an office job, me sitting behind a computer all day every day, I kinda lost the interest to search the world wide web for interesting content to post on FUCCIT. I still got a real life beside FUCCIT. I need my telly and Mrs. Votske likes attention too…
And I find it harder every day to find kinda original content to put on this blog. It’s the always returning question, what is and what isn’t interesting enough to re-post?
Running a fixed gear blog isn’t as easy as it might sound. Every self respecting fixed gear enthusiast already follows Prolly, ZLOG or Pedal Consumption, so there’s no need to re-post the vids or pics posted there, unless they’re REALLY cool.
I wish I could say I’m posting less because of the fact I’m always outside riding, but that ain’t true… I’m getting really sick and tired of all the ice and snow! It’s been AGES since the last proper street session. Or even a long distance ride…
Maybe I should get this Livestrong Limited Edition Indoor Cycle:
It might not come close to a proper street session, but at least I can get rid of all the extra energy, build up in me. I can’t sit still behind my desk anymore!
That might be one of the New Year’s resolutions I could have, move more! Having an office job combined with quitting smoking sounds like a recipe for getting fat!
I think 2011 can be a very interesting year.
I personally will try to find more original content, focus more on the quality than the quantity of posts.
We should finally go outside and use Tjeerd’s GoPro for making a fixed gear mountain biking / cyclocross edit instead of letting him only use it for his home made bike porn collection.
Will Mitch move from 700C to 26″?
Will I get fat?
Will Tjeerd and Le Haute post more?
Will Mitch make his first post on FUCCIT?
Will bike polo make a return in Arnhem?
Will FUCCIT get a make over?
Will Stoffel move back to Arnhem?
Will Utje finally get pubic hair?
Will Mitch get a better nickname than Skitch or Spiderman?
Will FUCCIT get merchandise?
Will Tjeerd stay bald?
Will Cancellara win the Tour?
Enough questions left to answer in 2011, so FUCCIT! Double C, I, T!
Enjoy your NYE, whatever you might do, where ever you might go!
Ok, first of all, I wanna make sure it’s clear I’m a big fan of the progression FGFS is going through right now!
BUT, I’m not sure where the whole 26″ thing is going to. Several companies are making FGFS frames specially made for 26″. The Grime YOMANG! frame being one of the first.
That still looked like it was based on what once was a track bike. I’m not a big fan of riding 26″, but that could maybe be because I’m too tall to feel comfortable on a bike with 26″ wheels. But still, I like the looks of this frame. It doesn’t look like a bmx on steroids.
BUT, Volume is now bringing a 26″ version of their Vandal frame:
This is in my honest opinion a bmx on steroids! It’s aimed at FGFS riders and not as a downhill mountain bike frame, so if you wanna ride this, why not get a proper bmx? Or a cruiser if you don’t wanna ride 20″…
Like Skitch once said: “If I ever put pegs on my bike, kick me in the head and give me a real bmx!”
This is my “kick me in the head” kinda thing, if I ever decide to ride a bmx on steroids, you can kick me in the head and give me a real bmx.
Those were my 5 cents, feel free to comment on this…
And yet another post from Prolly‘s visit to Interbike!
Specialized is getting into Fixed Freestyle! They were on Interbike with 5 prototypes, three 26″ and two 700c versions. I like the looks of them, and they will be sold as a complete for less than $1.000,-. Sounds promising!
This is the first pic of the YOMANG! frame I’ve seen with 700c wheels, but what seems to be the fact, this isn’t a YOMANG! but a SUP MANG! frame, the 700c brother of the 650c YOMANG! frame…
My bad…
