This next project (the Street Fiend) was originally going to be the first of the my designs for a fixie, but I was nervous about releasing a brand new frame into a new market that we knew nothing and start by pushing a new lower sloping top tube fixed gear design and using 26″ wheels to boot.
I decided to go with the NSF first and continued working on this next design on my own. I am the first one to admit I don’t fully understand how to ride these bikes but with the Street Fiend, I’m at least starting to understand it a bit better because the frame is small enough for me to get off of when shit gets ugly and when my feet can’t stop rotating and are strapped to the pedals shit gets ugly almost immediately.
There are a few very minor changes that will be made to production but other than those this is what you’re going to see. Here is the Street Fiend.
