Six Fixies

Was cutting through back streets near Heidelberg last night and I caught up
to a guy on a light blue On One (is that the Pompeii or something??) that
had a geared hub on it. The guy riding it had a messenger style bag and
heaps of tats so I was thinking 'bike courier'. I asked him how the Rohloff
hub went but it turned out that it was a Shimano Nexus 8-spd hub and
apparantly it goes OK. Had a quick chat with the guy and it turns out that
he wasn't a courier but is a bike mechanic at Strictly BMX. We chatted for
a bit and I mentioned that I had a fixie and he told me that he has SIX
FIXIES!!!!! I currently have six bikes but clearly can't compete with this
level of street cred (although I do have a track frame in the process of
being built as no. 7 so I guess I will have 2 fixies).

Anyway, I think he said his name was Gonz.......you rock Gonz!!!!

Ride On,

Funny, spoke to Gonz on the phone a week ago, gave me a hot contact to get some half-links.

Hub gears. Watch out, it could be the next big thing in bikes.....
