This is my single speed track frame from MurphyCycles.com that I ride almost everyday. I built this bike with leftover parts from my Factory Five build after it was crushed in an accident. The goal with this build was to end up with a classic-looking bike that wasn't too flashy. This way I could have a commuter I was proud to use everyday without worrying too much about it getting stolen or paying too much to replace it. On that note, the frame is relatively is inexpensive compared to similar bikes with lugs. As a bonus the bike has no decals logos or badges giving it a subtle minimalist aesthetic. I wanted to keep the unbranded look consistent across the bike, choosing components with a subtle or minimal branding.
