Cool built. I like the color :) How do you like riding in SF with only one gear? I'm also thinking of brining my bike with me in summer. But don't know which one to bring with me..

Thanks! I enjoy riding fixed in and out of the city. It is manageable to get to your destination without riding up and over a lot of the bigger hills. Bring the bike you like riding more :). If you're planning on getting far out of the city, perhaps consider gears!

Last time I brought my T1… Some streets are very scary. I had to walk some down -.- hahah. Filmore for example. Way too steep. I will fore sure bring a front break :) How do you guys do that? Do you mind these super steep streets or are you always praying for not beeing hit by a car at the stop sign?

When I rode brakeless I'd choose my routes to avoid such hills! Otherwise I'd just crawl down the hills slowly and use up a lot of tire. If the hills are wet it's dangerous. No shame in having a brake for me though and I am into the extra hand positions.

Repainting seemed right at the time, but I wonder what it'd look like today if I'd have left it.
