Le Fixie and GT Pulse
| January 17, 2012 | Filled under Uncategorized |
I just finished this sweet fixed gear bicycle project and I wanted to share with you all. Last fall when I was in London visiting friends, we were walking through Brixton looking at bikes and overheard a French man use the phrase “Le Fixie.” Ever since, we wanted to build Le Fixie. With a little help from the awesome people over at Houston Fixed Gear, I put together a sweet 90′s GT Pulse with the triple-triangle frame. I designed the custom decals and had them printed by the good people at Sticker Robot.
I also have to shout out to Aaron Panone who designed and manufactured the badass track chainring. Aaron has been getting a lot of coverage on Core77 lately for his sweet design work, and I am a huge fan. See details about the bike below.
If you want to get ahold of a LeFixie decal set for your ride, please reference this post and send a paypal payment of $10 to me at evantwyford [at] gmail or stop by and visit the folks at Houston Fixed Gear at 2309 Dunlavy in Houston Texas. Ride safe!

Just want to say what an awesome build. Great frame in the era of competing with cannondale in American track bikes. May I ask what wheel set is that? Beautiful build.
Thanks so much Christiann! Yeah I love the way it came out, and its a super-smooth and fun ride. The wheels are Origin 8.
How beautiful bike is it!
Maybe my question is silly : )
But is it a threadless 1″ fork?
