Description: My Specialized P.Fix. Some cool details on this one. The rear cog is actually a cassette with flanges that you can thread disc brake bolts into to fix it too the hub shell, turning it into a fixed gear. And the company logo cut out on the headtube with the red steerer is a nice touch.
When I bought the bike, it was set up with a front brake, tan front tyre (matt Reyes style) and in cassette mode, so I quickly took the brake off, bought some disc bolts and chucked them in, and changed the front tyre back to the original one. I had these bars from an old trials bike I had too. The cranks are a funny story, apparently when the original owner bought the bike, it was supplied without the drive side crank arm or sprocket so he had to buy new ones as “they didnt make those cranks anymore”. However the original bars are slightly bent and so is one of the dropouts on the fork so I suspect it got banged up at some point and had to be replaced.
