A little Haiku for your beautiful fixie creation!

The stealth-like cycle....
Polished and ready to strike;
Bike path samuri.

Thank you kindly. Here's a little Limerick.

'Twas a rusted red Raleigh, before Sliver.
To the the trash man its owner would give 'er.
"But I'll get my truck and I'll come pick it up."
He said, "Don't worry, me boy. I'll deliver."

UPDATE

OK. So, I took the bike on a 25 mile path ride. When I got finished, I felt like Quasimodo when they tied him to that big round thing. I was like, “SHE GAVE ME WAW-TA". The bars needed to change.

Twice I got my shoelace caught in the pedal where I trimmed the points off the outer edges and more than half the time the pedal was upside down when I put my foot on it. Neither good on fixed gear.

I changed the bars to 39cm SR Road Champions from the 80's. The pedals are current MKS Sylvan Touring and the the brake lever is an old drilled DiaCompe suicide lever.

We’ll see how the next 25 miles feels.
