Fixed Gear Bike = Fixie…Satisfyingly Built


A Fixed-gear bike named as Fixie is a bicycle that not uses free wheel. You cannot coast whereas the pedals are always in motion when the bike is moving.

Fixed gear bike original track cycle is in a Velodrome, but Fixie now is now used on the road. This trend originally is innovated by messengers or Postman in United State. The concept is simplicity and life-style. It is now becoming a new trend in Indonesia especially in Jakarta where now I live in, the appearance is more attractive designed in colorful frame and wheels.

I just need 3 days building a Fixie by letting the vendor build it up that costs me not more IDR 100,000. Most of parts used were shopped in Bu De Kemanggisan Fixie Specialist Shop located at West of Jakarta (near BINUS University):

1. Frame + Fork Solid Black - Taiwanese

2. Rims – Fixie 52 Cm, white colored

3. Hub – United, Maroon colored

4. Spokes - Stainless

5. Tyre Tube

6. Tyre – CST COMP Caldera

7. Crank - Viva

8. Pedal - Viva

9. Chain Ring

10. Chain

11. BB (Bottom bracket)

12. Seat post

13. Seat clamp

14. Saddle – Velo Plush

15. Headset

16. Stem - Zoom

17. Handle Bar – Missile

18. Grip

19. Toe clips

I’d like to thank Keke (my Bro in law) for listing down the parts and Bu De for your discounted prices.

I was BMX (Raleigh Burner) free-styler in Elementary School and Mountain Biker (Federal) in the 1st year in College, those are old…..Riding Fixie is now a kind of pleasure.

Black Street Crawler is now ready to bring me along “flattie” and “smoothie” road to the Car Free Day riding event….Helmet, special biker cloth and cycle pants are no longer used along Fixie cloths…I’d rather to wear dark Blue Jeans, Casual jacket with Hood, Faked Oakley Sun Glasses and……sling Bag (the most Fixie Biker identity) of course……

Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and
gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her ear and screamed.

There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but
I had to tell someone!
