Hi! I got my latest build driveable today. Idea came when I win those 80mm rigidas from one competition. I'm so into this Fixed Bikes at the moment that I wanted to use them in that field. So, 80mm rigidag + offroad tires + Fixie = Bicycle SUV?! Tires are Nokian Gazzaloddis 3x24". Because...

About the trail, its necessary (if you want nice ride) whit all lenght of forks. In motorcycles 5-10cm is good, but in bicycles whit slower speed about 0-5cm is good. -Olli

Still there will come some "patina" grips and some other detailing. Bike is quite light, even that it has all those "real steel" parts. Its also really cool to drive. -Olli

Because of "old rusty details" I wanted to make patina paint on it: Now I'm waiting those bare metal places to rust. Same pics bigger here -Olli

First handlebar was from old ladies bike, just turned upside down. This old narrow track drop beauty I got from MrVelo Front hub, old F&N from 30's: -Olli

Frame almost ready: 4cm was "a bit too much", so I needed to cut seat tube: I welded piece of old fender on hole: I replace support between vertical rear frame tubes: -Olli

Whoa, I drove it so long whit normal forks! What kind a "Olli Custom" it was whit regular forks anyway :D Yesterday I worked 12hours, and here's the fork (?) now! More pics Today I drove quite hard whit it, already made some wheelies. It feels good. Hub is from wheelchair Axle is "home"...

I was thinking about that, but I love that small space between front tyre and lower frame tube. Also one straight line is giving some balance for the frame. -Olli

Some frame pic like that from internet was my inspiration! -Olli

I was not 100% satisfied of my work yesterday. Pedals were too close to front wheel and feets were touching it while turning. So today I cut it up again and moved crank set 2,5cm more rear. Now bike runs really great, I drove almost all way from job to home whitout hands :) I also turned rear...
