SLASH REPAIRS AND MARC'S FIXIE... WHEN ART AND BIKES COLLIDE

This is Marc's fixie.
This is what I build in 45 degree heat.
Marc is a graphic artist and painstakingly hand painted this frame.

I think they're slugs... nothing sluggish about this bike though!
The chainring was raw metal and looked ugly, so I polished it.
Novatec hubs on Alex rims.. a cheaper version of velocity.
Oddysey pitbull brake lever, cheap cheng shin calliper cause it needed a long drop, vittoria rubino tyres, oury grips, bbb seatpost, generic riser handlebars and stem. The diamond back bmx saddle was just for the photo shoot.
Nice tight ride this one... my size too.
I hope Marc likes it cause your seeing it before he does.
(P.S. it just started to rain,
that should cool things down a bit,
it's getting mighty hot around here)
