It's actually a nicely done fixxie. Personally, I wouldn't have taken the brazed-on b its off, but hey, it's his bike.
I don't know why he's got a Lizard Skin on the chain stay...not too much chance of chain slap on a fixxie. I also don't know why he's running a 135mm hub. But aside from that, it's a nice fixxie.
I retired a KOF Colnago Spiral Conic a few years ago, then put it back on the road as a fixxie. I'm running a Phil Wood Flip Flop hub, 130mm.
It's great riding this bike...like coming home to an old friend. If it weren't set up as a fixxie, it wouldn't get any miles. I've got too many later (Off Topic) bikes to ride, ranging from CF to Ti to CF/Ti combinations.
That having been said, I'm going out now for a ride on my KOF cross bike. First cross race is tomorrow!
