Here in the Philippines, the Tsunami Bikes are very respectable considering almost everyone who owns them have pretty decent builds. Tsunami Bikes are head turners here in the Philippines and good looking. They're so good that I actually owned 4 Tsunami bikes for the past 14 months, Tsunami ranger, pioneer, factory release and my latest that I have now is the Snm100. Such a great bike.
ZACH! I GOT A FIXIE! My local shop had an origin8 for only 150 so I grabbed it. it’s a blast! If it wasn’t for this channel I would have no idea how amazingly fun fixed gear can be, thank you!!!
This frameset is actually really popular here in indonesia. If you put some nice components on it, it feels pretty good and stiff enough for the price.
Agreed. I prefer the 1st generation SNM100 over the 2nd generation version though,and lucky me,I own one.With the right parts,any SNM100 will easily fly up the hills.
@@mcfarhan987 Mainly the aesthetics of it(the logo,paintjob).It's much simpler looking on the Gen 1. There are also small structural differences.The brake mount on the seatstays are different on the Gen 1 and Gen 2 frames,and the Gen 1 has chainstays that have slightly more curvature(lending to slightly better stiffness and more chainring clearance).Gen 1 forks are just a tiny bit different from the Gen 2 forks,but if you know how they look like then you'll notice the difference. That's pretty much it.
Im actually very new to this community. I bought myself an aluminium fixed gear bike for around 300$ and it weighs under 10kg. Over the past few weeks I keep changing stuff to like a proper saddle, handle and pedals. Currently I‘m eyeing new cog and chainring and gaining more experience. It‘s a hard road to travel but I think it‘s better than just buying a full bike (for me) since I didnt know if I like fixed gear riding or not. I gained much on experience just by riding and caring. I think overall the bike fits my personality. The personality of a greenhorn. Watching your videos helped a lot in gaining knowledge and avoiding mistakes. Nonetheless I feel like I have to go through the procedure of „conversion“ to fully get into this. I think when I‘m done I will be around 700$ for the fully conversed bike with proper parts. I think thats a good deal after all.
I'm glad you circled back on the Tsunami. I met a fellow who was friends with the fellow who imports them. I own two different Tsunami bikes and I really love them...I died inside when you ripped on them a while back :(
I ride audax rides on a fixed gear bike. It helps a lot to have both brakes when you're riding 400km. I'm 38 year old and I don't feel like riding any other type of bikes anymore.
Fyi: Tsunami also photograbs pics from Ave Maldea users. (using Ave Maldea frames) then posts it on their website as their own. Also as popular as the brand is here in the Philippines, you only get what you pay for. (cheap frame = cheap quality)
Yo Zack! Diggin the channel and have subscribed! This video in particular tho (3:58min)... I gotta mention I am over 40 (42) and ride a break-less steel Columbus tubing NJS Makino in NYC. Thanks for making me a Bad-Ass! I really just like riding track bikes in the street! Word! Keep it up coming with your insightful dope vidz! preechiate you yo’!
I have the Seaboard FG03 frameset which I bought because I wanted something to take out daily during lockdown and its a fyking treat to ride along side my LiteSpeed Ghisallo and my retro Colnago C40 (Childhood dream bike) With the right wheelset *most bikes can feel super comfy.
Ive had a Kona Paddy wagon 8 yrs now , £500 reduced from £800 , I pump tyres up , do chain thats all, great bike , never wanted to upgrade its so good , & reveiws are pretty much the same , fixie way to go .
Lol. This tsunami recently had an issue here in Ph. Since they are photograbing the pictures of local photographers and then editing it to put their brand on it and uploading it to their website.
I had two SNM-100 frames from different sellers, each cancelled because they no longer had my size. I do have a 2021 frame ordered and it's on its way. I will post more when it arrives.
I got a second hand reynolds 531 track frame with miche pistard wheels, miche olympique track and campagnolo components for a whooping 100€ from a friend of friend that got it made during the fixie foo era, and then proceeded to forget it in its cave for years. Sure I had to do a full checkup, regrease some stuff ... But it really rides great and I have already put 1500km in it in 3 months (and I have another main bike). It kinda makes me really critical of any lower end bike I could get for more money :)
Ahem!!! :-) Watch the brakes on a fixed jokes. As a 65 year old, that regularly rides fixed, and has two functioning brakes.... well, how many people do you know that are riding fixed at 65 ? Just saying.
I think it's only natural that most people pick up something like riding fixed in their teens or twens. Riding fixed wasn't really a thing from the 60s - 80s, so that's probably why there aren't that many people above a certain age who ride fixed or have ever ridden fixed. It's also something that's mostly done by people who see cycling not just as a recrational pastime, but an actual means to get from point A to point B in everday life. This approach is quite uncommon for people born before 1980, at least in my expierence. If they cycle at all, they either do it as a sport (usually either moutainbiking or road cycling) or they ride some crappy trekking or dutch bike as an alternative to talking a walk, usually extremely slowly and on the sidewalk. How did you end up riding fixed?
I'm a roadie and one of my riding buddies is 69. He rides fixed gear in about 70% of his riding. He also uses two functioning brakes. He says it's more fun to ride than his two road bikes and his mountain bike. He rides an older Cannondale by the way.
I want to be like you guys when I grow up, and still ride brakeless. I was a road biker commuter for 5 years, and last 2 years on a fixed gear. 35 right now and never had brakes on my fixed gear bikes.
Hello! I am really interested to buy a TSUNAMI SNM100 but i'm in Europe and i don't know which size to chose.I'm 1m80 (5feets11) and on Aliexpress they said i have to go for the size 52.But isn't it to small ? Should i take the size 55? If someone can answer me it would be great,thanks to u
because of this video i bought a tsunami bike. I didn't get the well geared one as in the video but a shittier one fitted with cheap components so I can replace. I would say that the frameset is very high quality but a bit heavier than I thought. I used to own a $800 specialized alum frame road bike and i can say the tsunami is considerably heavier even without the entire gear shifting and braking features on it.
Yokes on you I just discovered tsunami sells full bikes. I have a snm 100 since 3 years and they were only selling framesets. The cool part is I have a custom tsunami build
I don’t know if anyone else does this but first thing I look at is the welds on the headset and seat tube area, if a company takes the time to buff down the welds and make a seamless looking frame, they’ve probably taken the time to make sure the geometry is correct and final product is something worth producing and selling, I’ve noticed some high end companies fixie riders adore have an awful finished product appearance (cinelli for example)
I have a cinelli vigorelli and I must say that the welds are smoothed down and look on point. This is one aspect I did look for and I’m pleased with their frame build. 🙂🙂
They’re having a sale on their trispoke, four spoke & five spoke rims. Any thoughts?? Was thinking of buying one 🫢 however they’re fitted with 17t cogs

Hi Zach! What can you say about aluminum fork of the tsunami? I'm going to change the standart fork of my fuji track 2016 (chromol metal) to aluminum tsunami fork (not for lose weight, only for good looking). Best wishes from Saint-Peterburg))))
Just got my first fixed gear bike and I love it. Now my son wants one. Looking for something fairly cheap since he's only 11 and will quickly outgrow it. Any suggestions by chance?

Tsunami aluminum frame is my dream frame but it's hard for me to find one because the main seller of tsunami frames here in Philippines is too far from my current location ☹️ that's one of the famous frames here in Philippines.
From what I've learned Zach spent too much on hist first bike as many expensive components aren't more durable, aren't much stronger or lighter FOR DAILY USE and serve only for BLING factor. Or I missed it?

Oh, I ride both fixed (Cinelli) and road bikes (Giant Propel) and spend about same amount of mileage on them.
