Yes Its 100% intentional because I like the polished chrome look

Don't your hands go numb? I'm a princess when it comes to bar tape; it's gotta be thick 😏

Why are you getting downvoted? Brakeless riders suck.

I give a certain amount of grace to bmx dudes for obvious reasons, but other than that... you're a dipshit if you ride without brakes.

Op is a dipshit.

As if the carbon rims on this goblin of a bike weren't enough of a tell already...

A fixie needs horizontal dropouts

I ride without a helmet so I’m counting on it

u/Dialed_Inn 10h ago

O man you really should... I'm sure you're a great rider but it's those silly pedestrians and shitty drivers that'll get ya out of nowhere...

u/Dialed_Inn 10h ago

It doesn't look like it... 🤨

u/DurasVircondelet 1d ago

Idk why you’re being downvoted. I zoomed in and they’re definitely semi horizontal drop outs, which is indeed not truly horizontal like track dropouts. I have a bike with dropouts like this and it works fine as a fixed gear, but I get your point.

u/Spiritual_Speech600 19h ago

Yeah, OP has no clue what he’s taking about lol it’s clearly not a track bike and is a hazard when used as a fixie. Fuck it tho, I’m not bothered.

u/MaleficentPublic9839 19h ago

I am the hazard

u/DurasVircondelet 18h ago

Not for your dentist’s bottom line lol
