#video | Fixie off road "Monster Pinky Fixie"

Why not a fixed gear off road? I have adapted my "Pinky Fixie" urban fixie to create an off road fixie adding bigger tires 700x42, and now (not in the video) with a 22t fixed gear cog to improve the movements off road, result: AMAZING!

Here you have our own video riding near of Barcelona (Spain) beside the Llobregat river.

Who will be the next fixed gear off rider?....

PRODUCT REVIEW: Cinelli Pepper handlebar & Oury grips from Asfalt Shop


Hi riders, today is the day...few days ago we started publishing some pics in Instagram of our Pinkyfixie restyling with a new handlebar and grips provided by Asfalt Shop, an online shop where you can find high class products for your fixed gear bikes, only the best!


Well, today we want to show you two of the products they sell, a Cinelli Pepper handlebar and a pair of Oury grips, in our case, the handlebar in black color, and the grips in pink.

Cinelli Pepper handlebar & Oury grips from Asfalt Shop

Cinelli Pepper review

This Cinelli Pepper is a double-height handlebar with soft line designed for urban driving. As you can see in the pics, the handlebar is shorter than usual handlebars, as we said, it's designed for urban driving, you can ride between cars easier than other longest classic handlebars. One important thing in this handlebar, the diameter in the center is 31.8 mm, for that you will need a stem with this size, usual stems have 25.4mm but in this case you will need one biggest. This big center diameter is great to increase the resistance of the handlebar, especially when you skid...

Rised handlebars drawn and tapered 6061 T6 aluminum with double-thick custom to offer a high level of stiffness and resistance to fatigue. 




 

Specifications

Material: 6061 T6.
Diameter: 31.8mm
Width: 440mm
with markings for cut it easily.
Weight: 220gr.
Color: Black Matte.

Conclusion

  • Strong handlebar
  • Enough short for urban riding
  • It's a Cinelli handlebar...what else? Quality assured...

Oury grip review

This Oury grips are extremly soft and smooth rubber for excellent comfort, maximum control and a high decay. Originally made for riding without gloves this grip has last for decades now and is still successful and acclaimed in today's fixed gear scene.
The ultimate standard in grip comfort and beauty.  Anti-vibration large pad pattern offers grip comfort, eliminates numbness and slipping for any size hand.  Made in the U.S.A.
The Oury grips are a bit shorter and thicker (damping effect) than the average fixed-gear or bmx grip. 







Specifications

Weight per pair: 102g
Length: 122mm

Conclusion

  • Wide range of colors, great for customizing your fixie
  • Soft, great grip!
  • High quality, comfort and price, maybe the best grips...

 

More pics of the final restyling!

Thanks to Asfalt Shop!

All of us love to create a custom and genuine fixed gear bike, and sometimes we use to buy saddle from big brand, but, a few of us want to have a genuine saddle for his bike, completely customized and with a high quality. This product review is for all of them. Today we want to show you a customized saddle made by our friend Marcus from Just One Custom Bicycle, and we want to show the product and process to get the product via Etsy (A big online shop for hand makers like Just One, where he has his online shop).

Just One Custom Saddle review

As you can see in the images, we ordered a genuine saddle for our Pinky Fixie in black and pink, for that we order a pink saddle, strong pink! And we wanted a high quality leather, and that is what we received, a high quality leather custom saddle in pink!

Easy to install in our saddle bar, easy to adjust to our pedaling position. Very soft skin and has enough padding to be comfortable while pedaling. We have tested it for a route of 15 km and sensations during and after were very good. No pain in our ass ...great!!!

Here we show you some pics during the review.
