All Out or Nothing: The Street Machine

Fixed-gear bikes were originally built for keirin and track racing. But in the 1970s and 80s, a new culture was born in the cities of America and Europe—customizing race bikes for the streets.

In New York and San Francisco, young riders carved out their own way of moving through the city, giving birth to the “street fixed.” That culture exploded in Japan as well.

More than just transportation, a fixed-gear is about putting your style and identity on full display. That’s the true essence—and the thrill—of riding fixed.

LEADER 721TR “Aggressor”

Instead of a half-hearted “this will do” build, a fully committed custom makes a bike stand out as true gear.

This time, we’ve built a machine that embodies the element we always highlight in our street customs—aggression.

DEDA ELEMENTI PISTA DROP BAR
DEDA ELEMENTI PISTA STEM

Track drop bars give you unmatched stability on the flats, and when you drop down, you’re instantly in an aggressive position for acceleration.

This shape also has its roots in keirin.

Riders could signal their intent to attack just by the way they held the bars—an essential weapon in strategy and mind games.

And the thrill of blasting past a high-end road bike with this handlebar? That needs no explanation.

Panaracer AGILEST Brown

A touch of brown in the tires adds spice to the overall look. It brings out personality and taste, standing out far more than a simple monotone setup.

It sharpens the bike’s racing edge while also stepping up from stock tires. And since tires are the only point of contact with the ground, this upgrade directly translates to ride feel.

selle SAN MARCO ALLROAD DYNAMIC
DEDA ELEMENTI ZERO100 SEATPOST

The perfect fit of the ALLROAD saddle paired with the rugged stiffness of the Zero100.

 Comfort and toughness—normally opposing forces—come together in one decisive custom. With the confidence to fully lean into the saddle, you can push harder and ride more aggressively through the streets.

Born on the track, rooted in the streets. A fixed-gear demands nothing less than a no-compromise, all-out street machine. That’s exactly what this build represents—pure intent, pure aggression.

Now it’s your turn. Take this bike, and chase a new view of the city.
