I have no prob with fixies, except for this: If you wanna draft an individual bike or hook onto an urban paceline, be polite and try a turn at the front. :-)

I was really disappointed when I put my new Trek Madone 4.5 on a real scale and found it really weighs 18-1/4 lbs and that's with lighter wheels and tires.

Sorry for the thread highjack...
Actually, closer to 10.2 lbs (trying to do kg conversions in my head) and it does weigh more now with the Powertap. I have not weighed it but CycleOps claims 402 grams for the hub. Bike is fine now I'm working in the engine.    Without the Powertap, with a rim/tire change and the latest Campy set I think I could get it under 10 lbs (just) but it would require a lot of rim/tire maintenance. Like I said I'm working on the engine. |

The Bianchi fixie wins in looks, but that Storck sounds like the F1 of bicycles!

Nikita, did you put the dots on the rims, or did they come that way?

Thanks again for the love! The rims come that way from Velocity. I still can't figure out how to take a picture in the dark to show the glowing dots. Trust me, it's effin' cool!
BTW...gorgeous Storck! ND
