02:34 😂 No lie! I bought a pair of Nike crosstrainers because I thought they looked comfortable enough and got a decent price on them. Little did I know that I purchased what's known as the king of "dad shoes", the "Nike Men's Air Monarch IV"'s. When I saw the amount of hazing these shoes got, I didn't even take them out of the box when they got here. I literally returned them and redeemed myself by getting a pair of "non-dad" shoes; Sidi Approach trainers. With just the right amount of appropriate badassery in an LK Black & Gold color scheme, I let out a sigh of relief when I pulled them out of the box. I had no idea about this whole dad-culture thingy going on. Phew! Dodged that bullet! LOL

[@joegomes1352]

Sweet ride love all the Thomson

[@Tannerjackfilms]

thats the coolest single-speed build, does the track frame so much justice. Love all the new additions

[@TerryB]

Thanks Tannerjack

[@its_jowen]

Everything about this bike just makes sense A daily commuter that is a single speed decked out with fenders and frame bag, Love the bike, terry!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@t_bizzy]

Props to you for riding after all that snow, cant wait to get back out here in Chicago

[@TerryB]

gotta make the most of it

[@Happwy]

My knees that are getting old, are happy for ya! Just happy to have ya riding the bike. Expertism kills the sport just have fun on your bike you enjoy it that’s all that matters lol

[@TerryB]

keep it fun

[@joeswain8373]

Loved the beginning of this edit

[@TerryB]

Stream Montage need to make a new one soon.

[@axeljunkuhn.5985]

Awesome ride and huge single-speed fan & rider here myself. Just custom build an ALL CITY Super Professional with seriously nice stuff on it all around, Chris King, Phil Wood, Hope, Thomson, etc. parts and handbuild wheels. Also a big fan of Thomson myself (All my bikes have some Thomson stuff on them), a great choice of parts. Keep up those amazing videos that I just recently came across.

[@globaltravelmate]

Awesome channel man. I ride through Bangkok with a gimbal in one hand. But stopped filming going fast through traffic, people seem to get anxious. Keep it up man!!

[@stereosystem]

Love the winter bike check, Terry! I've been rocking the QuadLock mount since a week after you released that tutorial and it's the best! Just because I crash, doesn't mean my phone has to. Keep up the content. I can't get enough.

[@TerryB]

keep those wheels down :)

[@As2ronaut]

My front flap almost reaches the ground, riding through snow-covered Moscow. And 50mm mtb tires, very stable and confident in the snow porridge.

[@TerryB]

sounds fun!

[@azonicrider32]

I custom made my flap from a subaru rally mud flap...its 2mm off the ground...Toronto winters and I am clean as a whistle. watering can with hot water is awesome for cleaning your rig outside with no hose.

[@user-bx9gz8nm1n]

Tbh I think SS makes sense for the hotline videos, kind of like how skaters will film with a cruiser board, keeps things stable and smooth. The bike is tight too, good shit Terry!

[@BourbonJazzyLife]

Awesome build. You’re a savage going to storage lands & keeping up with people who ride the route daily. Thanks for sharing what you use👍🏼

[@BourbonJazzyLife]

*strange lands

[@TerryB]

thanks for watching

[@jaknjaknjakn]

I love this bike! I have been ridden for years on fixed gears in the traffic. Since December I switched to a kind of similar singlespeed. And I fucking love it, especially in corners!

[@tomashernandez828]

Sir! what a sweet tarnation is this bag of assorted goodies of hardware and modifications you got in here! love it, thank you for sharing and getting into the details. My best to you and stay safe. Tomas.

[@TerryB]

Thank you kindly!

[@adityajonathanmamahit2889]

Beautiful bike, T! I don't care if u running on freewheel or fixed, always love your hotline vids. Love from jakarta, Indonesia.

[@TerryB]

yeeee

[@louchedecay7922]

Love the SS lopro! My gf and I built a SS out of an NJS bomber pro frame, and it made me a big fan of the single speed track bike. - oh, also, that wound up fork looks really good on the lopro. Slick ride.

[@ShutterButtonPresser]

Have always dig track bike ss converts especially your lo pro. Thing is the more gritty it looks, the more beautiful it is. My gangsta track looks horrendously pretty as well. Keep the vids coming T!

[@TerryB]

Totally agree!

[@P.Trick93]

That looks like a sick commuter!

[@TerryB]

It's so damn good!

[@rottenfriedrice6605]

you should make a podcast where you and one other person bikes around a city

[@TerryB]

Check out my coffee ride series :)

[@TheDonaldG]

Yup, that's sick. I'm commuting mostly on a fixed, could definitely handle some GD fenders, but I've got a smaller frame bag I've grown attached to keeping on there for the u-lock and other goodies. Makes absolutely total sense given the rides you do and being in NYC in winter!

[@acetylcholine3]

Thanks, Terry. I love this build! Thanks. I basically did a cheapo version like this one after watching a bunch of your videos.

[@TerryB]

Fantastic! I'd love to see it

[@posadskiy_cog]

I have a non-xl version of these fenders and they are just great too. Highly recommend for everyone who cycle in rough conditions.

[@TerryB]

they the best

[@PeterCrooks-ss4vs]

One of the thing I bought this year!

[@criddler_9738]

Sick build Terry!

[@chaoticsofea999]

That frame bag is kinda dope though.I had two bike locks and its really really heavy.I usually carry it in my backpack or just simply try to slide it into the bottle holder but dang I want that bag now 😂

[@TerryB]

It's a good place for snacks too

[@thehiddendrive]

@@TerryB Is it a custom bag?

[@billiam911]

Those fenders are so cool!

[@averyjamesbrooks]

Chopped flats are the way to go! Nice rig man

[@VictorHugo-zj5zr]

Hey, do you leave the frame bag on the bike when you lock it up? I've been thinking about getting one of those, but not sure because of that. Really loved the bike.

[@theflubbybear]

You can lock the rear wheel from inside the rear triangle and it's just as protected as locking the wheel + the frame

[@Jacob-cb7pj]

that frame bag is so custom u might as well take the whole bike

[@joshweber2521]

I had a frame bag stolen when I locked up outside of a bank. You can always zip tie the bag on... but I probably won’t get another one. :(

pls tell affinity to make more of these frames, everything about them is perfect!!

[@BoxitracioX]

I love your videos, greetings from Argentina !!!

[@TerryB]

Thank you very much!

[@karlnorgaard6077]

Terry I love it! Though I think you are short changing yourself losing the steel fork. Poor old steel fork, the shame of every every 1spd conversion. Gives away the age of your frame, looks old fashioned, looks delicate, and heavy. We underestimate the beauty and function of the humble old curved steel road fork. But a lovely build nonetheless. Love the rake to the top tube. Everything "singlespeed" themed on KZbin is fixed gear stuff it seems. No hate on fixed riding, but I'm a freewheel man, and I'm interested in what other freewheel guys are up to. Thanks for giving details like gear ratio. I wish you could film me on the roads in my town. I have friends who ride, but none who wish to ride like I do, with traffic, drafting as much as possible and leaning my bike over as far as I can in corners. I ride an 80's MIYATA frame I've heavily modified for 1spd. Got some cool vintage stuff on it...Nitto bar and stem, Ritchey seatpost. Vintage Sugino 52t chainwheel to 16t Ruby BMX freewheel. Recently made aero wheel covers for rear wheel, looks so boss, and I think it's faster, but can't prove it. If yer ever in western Canada, I'd love to shoot something. For you, I'd try the "clipped-in barrier wall ride". Done it, never filmed it.

[@TerryB]

The steel fork wasn’t old. This bike was manufactured in 2019 :) the wound up has the similar look with a better ride feel.

[@Taaaaaroooosooofound]

So cool and the parts are so good ..... I think the muddy omunium is better looks than the new one....so your bike is so cool

[@domavalos1095]

Simplicity and functionality 👍👍 Lol the fender kinda blew my mind 🤯

[@TerryB]

Thanks 😁

[@jacobmelendez5567]

I got that top cap coming in the mail!

[@KurtMueller]

Why does the bike frame seem like it's angled downward @ 5:47? Is that to help the cyclist get in as low/aero of a position as possible?

[@TerryB]

Yes you're sort of correct. It's designed around a pursuit bike, but made for the streets.

[@VladislavDryomov]

Нормальная брычка, Терри! Видно сразу, что катаешь не только в интернете.

[@TerryB]

Не уверен, хорошо это или плохо. В любом случае наслаждайся своим днем

[@pangyoryan]

Love this setup. Been watching multiple times. Everything makes sense. What's the width of the handle bar? 700mm?

[@coreygolphenee9633]

Those are cut down to probably 5 something anything more that shoulder width in NYC would get annoying

[@zsoltfrona6560]

Cool bike , dude ! Ride safe .

Thanks for the quadlock hack Terry ✌️

[@TerryB]

no worries

[@peterronzoni9264]

Cool bike. Single speed can be just as much fun as fixed if we let it. Great xhannel

[@MisterSal9895]

Nice ride. I somehow ended with two single speeds. One single speed is is cassette style and the another is flip flop freewheel/fixed. How much does the Affinity Lo Pro weights stock and with all the accessories? The affinitycycles website doesn't mention the stock weight.

[@numbaoneg101]

[@nicolaspaquin3269]

Amazing build! What kind of speed can you hit with a 52/17 in single speed mode?

You forgot the wheels! What width tires are you running? I'm looking to swap out my swanky track bike fore something more beater-like and utilitarian for commuting, and this Affinity truly is a practical and pragmatic masterpiece! Hot tips for any other cheap(ish) SS frames with good tire clearance to look out for? Big love from London!

[@TerryB]

You're right LOL, I forgot! They're HED Belgium Plus laced 3 cross to blank 32h hubs. The tires are 28c Gatorskins.

[@thenicoalfonso]

@@TerryB Do you have a preference or see any difference for Gatorskins VS the Gator Hardshells?

[@KEIRINSTREETS]

Beautiful bike, it's winter around here too so no shame on dirty bikes :) QUESTION: Why don't you use the Quadlock out front mount?

[@TerryB]

I prefer mounting to my stem bolts over the bar, and I can easily swap between a wahoo go proo mount and the quad lock

[@cooperellisblomberg]

How wide are your bars? You're the best man, thanks for the dope content.

[@TerryB]

720mm a bit too narrow for me but nice for traffic squeeze

[@metokamo3699]

I have to get these mudguards!

[@cosmicwav]

Beautiful bike. I searched online for that handlebar, is it a 730mm? Can't tell for sure, looks smaller on video.

[@trajtemberg]

Hi. How long does a standard Sram's Omnium bottom bracket last in winter time on streets? Why am i asking? In my opinion - Omniums not a good choice for all weather commuting or messlife. I have to change it every season ) It would be interesting to hear your view.

Do you ever run into trouble with your feet hitting your front tire when you turn, or is there enough clearance? Been looking into a lopro for a minute.
