Low-brow fixie rat rod

Fixed Gear bikes make great cruisers for the downtown area. This was a dad-n-lad project to provide Gilligan’s 15 year old son some transpo for the summer.

Behold! il Nero Celeste:

• Early-80s Bianchi racing frame, Shimano 600 crank & headset donated by everyone’s favorite Chattanooga cycling couple, Daisy & Hugh.
• Wheelset from a Bianchi Pista.
• Cane Creek CrosStop lever working a Shimano 105 caliper.
• Thomson seatpost from a Southern Off-Road Bicycle Association raffle. Flite Ti saddle resurfaced by the boy with heirloom leather.
• Jamis cruiser bar (flipped), Syncros stem, Wellgo platform pedals and all other bits-n-pieces from the Suck Creek Cycle parts bin.

Now featured on Fixed Gear Gallery !
