Paeng rides a fixie

Check out the article of our very own Paeng Nepomuceno on riding fixed gear. I know the Philippine Bowling Champion is an avid biker, but to see that he's into fixies is even better! His bike is a classic!

..."Without a doubt, though, the most desirable thing about riding a fixed gear bike is the intimate feeling of being at one with the bike, as if it is an extension of your own body"

Check out the Vid! All about bikes!

Just thought I'd post this

Fastboy Cycles

I just wanted to share this photostream I've been following for the past year. Ezra aka Fastboy is NYC based bike builder. His builds are exquisite stylish steel works of art. His photos tell a story of how he maintains a passion and joy (even though fighting cancer) in the things you can tell he loves: his wife, bikes and his dog. The 3 are just pure style and beauty.

Manila Fixed Gear goes to Paris

The shop you see in the pics is probably the only "all fixie" shop in Paris. The Cyclope crew were awesome! They were really friendly and helped me out with all the questions I had. The shop is sick!! Full of frames and parts, with everyone just helpin' each other out. I ended up buyin a black Miche rear hub and he threw in a Miche cog for free! thanks Nikoljai! If your in Paris, be sure to hit them up.

Walkin home, also saw a couple of guys practicing for bike polo! Wish I brought my bike! Damn!!!
