Note a couple of updates to the bike since I made it a fixie that were not part of the original "finished" shot after I made it a single speed. I put new fenders on it -- Axiom Paceline Deluxe Reflex (with full review here) -- after I had trouble with the original SKS fenders cracking. I also swapped out the original road-bike handlebars with drops for a flat, mountain bike type handlebars to offer a wider grip and more upright riding position. The bike is a lot of fun to ride and I use it in every type of weather.
