I like fixed gears a lot. My personal fixed gear is the bike I reach for most often – it’s quick, nimble, stiff, and comfortable to ride. It’s not, however, practical for a lot of lifestyles.

I believe in minimizing the degree to which my customers need to reorganize their lives in order to ride their bikes. On this project – a short production run of five framesets – I wanted to design a fixed gear bike that would be easy to use on a daily basis. The bike needed fenders, a rack, a comfortable riding position and a bell. It also needed good brakes, generous tire clearance and a reasonable pricetag. It should reward, not punish, you for riding it.

Sure, it’s a fixie. Riding it is a thrill. But it’s a bike that you can get around on practically. It’s not a hipster bike – it’s a Realster.
