    Just when I thought these couldn't get any better, enter Lachlan Morton.

    Lachy is quietly building his legend. Yet, during the interview he said nothing about being a multiple record holder. That's classy. Hopefully the pro racing world will allow more unconventional riders like him to make a decent living. Thank you for making my day!

    I love Lachlan's training philosophy. Its not about winning and hating training and doing set workouts. Have fun on bike! Enjoy the bike. Keep the love of riding part of you.

    This is wonderful. I like to think I am comfortable descending big hills fixed (UK, Welsh Marches). But... I would not have the bottle or confidence to do so on a loose surface. That is another level.
    I can spin briefly at 175-180 on a big drop, but not with power... just letting the legs go.
    These guys are anpther level.
    Also (now aged 60) I cannot sustain these fast descents on fixed and have to brake every now and then to get the legs down under 140 before speedong up again.
    But as anove... These guys are absolutely on it. And... Chatting while climbing.
    Chatting while climbing!
    Hat!
    (As we say on the UK).

    Soo amazing. Jaw dropping how easy they ride fixed downhill on such steep grade. Also climbing on 49/18 gear ratio is impressive. I ride my thunderbird state bike with 36/13 on single track mtb trails in Aspen, but not fixed. Can’t be fixed on jumps, or rocky downhills. Good job guys!

    Great stuff guys impressive !
    Here's how I roll:
    Singlespeed is just as challenging up grades yet allows you to rest knees on down hills.
    I'll run a 16-17 or 18 fixed cog on one hub side & Single speed 17 or 18 cog on the other side - on a 'flip-flop hub'.
    Bring a 15mm wrench to swap over.
    Go out fixed at outset or uphills then swap to Singlespeed upon return leg or descending.

    This bike was really easy to assemble ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.
