Hangin' with the new fixie

After some long consideration I decided to convert my evil commute bike over to a fixie. Ed down Mighty Rider ultimately convinced me it was the wisest way to go. I had hesitations because the frame is a bit of a tank and the bike on a whole was evil. Does evilness, reside in the frame, the components, or a mixture of such? I am not sure but I figured it was best to conduct an experiment...

Well I have a sample of size of 1, but I am beginning to believe evilness is a synergistic association of frame and components. So far the bike has been well behaved and I am finding out that riding a fixie that is a tank (I swear this bike weights over 25 lbs) seems to be the best kind of frame. You basically abuse these bikes and ride them into or over anything in the way. What better for the job than a heavy tank. Plus no worries of getting dents and scratches. Really no worries of anything. Just ride the fucker into the ground and hope everyone gets the fuck out of your way!

Anyways, the bike went together pretty easy. After I finished the wheel, I bent the rear stays in a bit (used twine and a wrench), threw in the new wheel, set the chain tension, kill the rear break and it was finished.
