NEW VIDEO UPLOADED !

Bike shop "charifuri" somewhere tokyo.

[@rizzjohn]

Riding any bike is my freedom. I started when I was about 4 years old and now I am 60, and the fun has never left.

[@tgchan]

I just love how much love and passion they put in building this bike

[@atypical_moto]

I'm 29 years old and haven't ridden a bike in several years. I just bought my first fixie and got that little kid smile on my face as I rode it for the first time today. I'm riding it with a free gear for now so I can get comfortable on a bike again.

[@chiefkeef4512]

I don't get the gears things can u change gears?

[@atypical_moto]

+o k single gear on fixie bikes.

[@charlesissleepy]

not a fixie then. singlespeed, common mistake (that happens to bug me pretty bad)

[@atypical_moto]

Notice I didn't write fixie anywhere in my comment. But actually calling a fixed gear a fixie bugs me pretty bad. I consider a cheapo bike with a flip flop hub, a fixie. A fixed gear bike is a bike that only has a fixed gear on the hub. So technically the bike I was referring to when I wrote that would be a fixie. I now also own a pretty nice fixed gear bike.

[@charlesissleepy]

"i just bough my first fixie...riding it with a free gear for now" Nuff said, but i'll continue anyway a fixie is bike that doesn't coast, flip flop or not. You can weld a freewheel and seize it and it'll still be a fixie. You can ride a flip flop and until you flip the flop its a fixie. Until you flop it back it isn't. Its a description first and formost of its functionality.

[@adrianfumi]

That smile at 2:41 hits my heart. That feeling of meeting your bike for the first time is priceless. I really don't think that smile ever really goes away every time you glance at a bike you love so much. It made me look at mine next to me and smile. : )

[@georgbrandt573]

But what? oO

[@georgbrandt573]

If you can't ride fixed. In this case.. it is stupid to ride fixed.

[@nikitamorozov1897]

Fixies are fun ,but fun is great...

[@stevenkimdmd]

But is given away to a newbie girl who did not even lift a finger to make it.

[@richardsalzmann7946]

@@stevenkimdmd lmao why so mad

[@nagistratos]

@@stevenkimdmd women do live in easy mode huh

[@OlafThorbjorn]

The smile of that girl when she sees her bike is priceless

[@Ele827]

*Looked at a lot of options for getting my **Latest.Bike** . Great find in SAVA. Super light, nice components, really good value as it comes with many options only found in much higher priced bikes.*

[@charleslaitipaya7149]

This made me smile. I hope they are all still riding together.

[@m4rk05R5]

this video is so relax..

[@Isothrill]

I used to watch this all the time. Where have the years gone?

[@Zrosum]

Wow haven't seen this in years, its like fine wine.

[@junction666]

What a fantastic video and thank you so much for posting it! Wasn't she pleased with all your hard work? A fabulous fixie for a very happy girl...well done!

[@EndangeredMooseknuckle]

I have mostly mountain bikes.. but this is an amazing fixed gear video. Shows how any bike can put a smile on someone's face...

[@jameshaury2716]

So the guys built that cool fixie for their lady freind that is so cool.

[@Azian2DaMax]

Ahhh this video brings soo many good memories of riding bikes in the Japanese countryside. I was born, raised, and live in LA but I go to Japan to see my relatives for 2 to 3 weeks every year and I would go again a million more times before going anywhere else. The people are so friendly, the country is beautiful, and my best memories are from my trips to Japan. Can't wait to go next summer!

[@reichel82]

such a sick video. love watching the work that goes into building from the ground up. makes me want to strip mine down again and rebuild just for fun

[@drLivingstine]

The song is from the band The DO- Too Insistent

[@Antonimofunk]

Thank you!

[@butteryblackfingers]

fixed gear videos are the best when theyre day in the life like this. You edited the cutting of clips on the drops of the song perfectly. love it.

[@klarkolofsson]

I envy your little group :) Beautiful video.

[@chickabuka]

Riding bicycles saves the world a little at a time!!! I love the bike and the small blue handlebars, nothing wrong with taking pride when building a bike from scratch. Nice!!!!

[@IDontKnow733]

I brought my first ever bike almost 1 year ago. A year later I can honestly say its the best thing I've ever owned, I love my bike.

[@jaureguiramirez]

I spend over and hour looking for this just to watch it again. Thanks again for making this.

[@solex3800tokyo]

all parts is secondhand (men always have an ulterior motive...)

[@TheWheelLifeChad]

Nice! Getting the ladies on bikes one build at a time. I love it!

[@predator838]

I love this vid, the look on her face is priceless , I miss my fix gear maybe one day I will buy or build another one , nice work on the finish product

[@JWnFlorida]

this is the second time I have seen this video.. and it just makes me smile.. great job on the video and vibe it conveys!

[@unkulwilly]

Awesome video! When I saw their homemade headset press tool made from washers nuts and all thread I laughed. thought I was the only one who did that. $500 for a Park press is ridiculous!

[@joeyvigil]

I've been watching this every week for months.

[@randydowell9255]

Joey Vigil thats a little odd.

[@Mitchomous]

I feel the same about the movie premium rush. It isnt the greatest movie but something about constantly has me returning

[@basquiatvigil]

Mitch Da Glitch Le omg i know right

[@Cube_Ernator1077]

What a Happy story!! Brought tears to my eyes but Thank You!!!

[@tay-lore]

This is a nice looking build!!! And what a great build-up video!!!

[@intermittentmaniac3943]

[@MichaelAlvez]

Great video! Congrats on the bike!

[@trenttompkins]

This is by far the most kind comment I have ever read on youtube! Not only that, but it's also some of the best advise I have heard in a while.

[@Thawolf878]

Thank you for the informative response.

[@jacekmak87]

Sweet vid! ;D Nice wheels.

[@phatpoopa]

It gave me goose bumps when she saw it. Very cute.

[@pandesal_mark]

That is a very nice frame I see. The Lovely Fuji Feather.

[@solex3800tokyo]

Thanks! I agree what you say, sometimes I feel same

[@fpscrash1992]

Loved the video!

[@nurmax1993]

whts the difference between putting front brake and rear brake? isnt rear braking is lot more safer than front one? just asking for opinions

[@NathanCorachea]

Ok so for the color of the frame did he only paint the bottom of the bike with the red paint? or did he use anything else before or after?

[@cpsslsp]

i love my fixie i have had it for a month and i ride it everywhere it may not look pretty yet but it sure rides amazing:)

[@Tom_Wesse_Visual_Storytelling]

Great Video THX

[@Chorizosabroso]

i've been seeing more and more of these fixie videos here on youtube. and the rputation seems well deserved lol. i had some cheap bmx knock off when i was a kid, and the gear was exactly the same as these fixies. but i cant see myself at 32 years of age trying to hop of curbs, or popping wheelies with my fixed gear. btw, my tires were white and red, i went to walmart and got black ones, lol.

[@solex3800tokyo]

Thanks! My sweet memory.

[@solex3800tokyo]

sound good!

[@elvislad]

Wow,best fixie video Ive seen

[@solex3800tokyo]

@jayseo thanks! this song is "The Dø - Too Insistent"

[@histanervillalobos2975]

Que lindo video. Me dejo una buena sensación. Aún existen buenos sentimientos en las personas.

[@jacktheripper0194]

That was awesome amazing job :P

[@MrMuffin0111]

Glad to see you use a front bike on a fixie you value safety :D

[@rjmori]

Great video, great bikes

[@stephaniekent8483]

Fuji Feather...one of the best bikes ever made !! hi from New Zealand :)

[@BAK87]

Man that's nice :) lovely gift

[@ummtone]

Great video!

[@gnarsick]

Sorry but I'm a bit confused.Is this bike they're building a fixed gear?Also, what's the difference between a fixie and a single speed?Is it easy to convert a hybrid bike to a fixed gear?I've got a Torker KB2 with 25mm freedom tires and was thinking about it if it's possible.

[@sk8er8679]

nice bike and bike shop

[@Th3SundanceKid]

great job guys! fun video as well!

[@iivv_nn]

Is Tamiya agood paint for bike frames?

[@solex3800tokyo]

exactly yes,thanks!

[@NathanCorachea]

How did he rust the frame? just leave it out to rust or is there an actual process?

[@solex3800tokyo]

Thanks! for me, it was like a dream time

[@KayyLoveeful]

What do you call the thing you used to take off the paint?

[@kilozjin3761]

Jst started cycling again on my new fixed gear after 30 over years non cycling One word to describe ... Smiling 😊

[@ahmadfarhan3462]

The best ever 🔥

[@leonchicago197]

I love this video

[@bringbackfrankblack]

And yes, I have brakes! Minoura make a nice handlebar mount that'll let you bolt a water bottle cage to, as fixie frames don't have braze-ons for such things.

[@EnrioDDR]

Can I ask a question? I would buy a fixed bike or single speed, but i don't know what size of bike to take. I'm tall 1.74 cm. Is a bike of 54cm too large?? Sorry for my english. Thanks.

[@solex3800tokyo]

Yes, please keep doing your right things!

[@user-in6wq8nb8d]
