DREAM BIKE BUILD - SQUID TRACKLOCROSS FIXIE

The squad builds up our newly hand-painted Squid So-Ez tracklocross fixed gear framesets. Each bike build is unique to the rider, taking on a different form: from dirt riding to burly trick setup to fixie commuter. Join the squad for a fun time building up the new dirt fixed gears and taking them out for a test spin, wheelies, tricks, and trail ride.

Might have to get a squid now! all your builds are wicked, so sick!!

[@not_another_dead_end]

straight up grinded down omniums to fit the fixie, thats core

[@FOADGang]

Had do it to em! Not ideal but they are still running great!

[@DeLaCroix1211]

Paul laced to HED is pretty baller for a bike that's getting thrashed lol

[@FOADGang]

It will definitely get thrashed but those HEDs are tough!

[@l00tur]

Is this what you guys spent your stimulus checks on lol. I absolutely love the super fun vibe you guys have when you’re together, I look forward to all of your vids. I wish I had a legit tracklocross crew to shred my trails with!

[@glenslough910]

I just got a used fixie to get back into it and see if I want to step it up to tracklocross. A few days riding fixed (even in the pissing rain) and the pure love you all have for your bikes has got me so stoked. Nothing like having simple winter fun on a bike that's worth less than your other bike's derailleur! XD

[@seanmunro3907]

Love that you guys are bumping Van Halen 🤘 RIP Eddie!

So good i like it

[@FOADGang]

Thank you! 😊

[@dannystarkridesfixed]

Loving everyone’s new builds but my favs are the camo and Van Halen .(have been wanting to do a camo paint job since 2010 tried but gave up cus I didn’t like the base color I had gotten lol wasn’t what I thought ). Also interesting that he did The Frankenguitar right before Eddie passed away kinda interesting timing and a nice little tribute. Also dig garrin’s bike like the uniqueness of the step over. As well it’s a nice looking bike and dig the color.

[@FOADGang]

Thank you Danny! The Van Halen paint job definitely took Parker some time! The base red he used is coventry red, if you're ever looking to try this paint job out again. Thanks for watching!

[@dannystarkridesfixed]

@@FOADGang no prob and thanks for the color info!. But I was saying I had a problem with the base color for a camo scheme 😉. I’ve never really got into Van Halen so I wouldn’t advertise the guitar color scheme since I’d rather not pretend like I listen to a band if I don’t. But these squid vids have been making wanna finish painting my pure fix. Haven’t been using it cus wheel problems so might as well finish it since I’ve been using my 26in since I got it last October.

[@tooooii]

Awesome

[@FOADGang]

Thank you!

[@sigourneywhaynedavid4650]

I need and want one. But I don't have the money to have it and the courage.

[@PEPlourde]

So about that Vita full bike check!

[@Zenek143]

Got myself the So-Ez frame. Even if you think you’re a good mechanic. This frame will make you learn to DIY and bodge with the parts you have.

[@FOADGang]

Hahah It definitely took us a little bit of work get this going, but they are riding really nice once complete!

[@Zenek143]

FOAD Gang I’m actually in love with the frame. Have gone back to SS though, you guys have helped me realise how much of a beating the frame can take though. So I’ve got a couple projects in mind I wanna try

[@MannequinOngaku]

Wess went for Paul hubs. Good taste

[@thronedude9498]

He really cut down some omniums *bb spacers left the chat*

[@MannequinOngaku]

can't run spacers on omnom bb's cuz GxP sucks ass

[@l00tur]

Real OGs don’t run spacers

Hey dude! I really want one. Is it a pain in the ass to get them to bar spin?

[@boy_scout_cookie1913]

How do you run bmx cranks with a threaded bb shell??help??

[@FOADGang]

You just need a threaded bottom bracket for BMX. We used profile racing’s version

[@salvador10g]

What are those bars called the bike with the splattered paint-black and white

[@dovy6666]

And that 75 chainring with no teeth omg

The frame I’m looking at allows fatter tyres than the squid, up to 50c and still uses 120mm spacing,

[@suttoncaplan2586]

What’s the bar spin clearance on the size 54 frames??

[@FOADGang]

Depends on the tire size, but could work with a like a 32 maybe

[@CamOlsonMedia]

Had my best friend spin my fixed gear upside down on the seat about 8 years ago and def lost the tip of his finger!
