How Many of These 2000's Fixed Gears Do You Remember?

[@JaythanRodriguez]

Congrats, Zach! I wish you and your wife a very happy marriage. I've started watching your videos when back in 2015-2016 and just this year I started riding fixed gear 😅

[@notl33t]

Congratulations! I love this Taiwan history tour! Its always great to see all the bikes that came before.

[@fehrcarlo2381]

Congratz for your marriage my friend! May happines and prosperity be with you both!

[@armandblake]

As Italian I had to stop for a moment to check you actually said “pompino”

[@HeavyLeadBelly]

Kona Paddy Wagon was my first bike i got in 2009 when I got back into cycling. Rode it SS but you're right, it was a work horse, and it was affordable. Some days I wish I still had that green and orange beast.

[@joshuanmarte1806]

Turning into a fan slowly man thanks for your content

[@ralfael1985]

I have a Schwinn Glenwood bicycle & I ride it everywhere!! I have 2 single speed bicycles such as retrospec Harper plus black & gray!! I 💕 riding my bicycles more than life itself!!

[@TheFriendofnight]

I have a paddy wagon and it's probably my favorite and most used bike ever. It's gone everywhere I could get to. It ain't flashy but it'll never not be ready to go. I also happen to think mine is a bit of looker.

[@billiam911]

I have a Paddy Wagon too!

[@matteo.borbonese]

I still ride a Cinelly Mystic Rats from 2011, that I updated last year, with 25c tyres (the max allowed). And i'm still happy to be able to ride fast and reactive on urban roads. I will never swap a light and simple single speed/fixed gear bike with any other "commuting bike".

[@mannyorozco842]

I just recently sold my mystic rats, didn’t have enough clearance for Sugino 75s so now I’ve got an affinity metro. The cinelli was a nice ride for sure

[@Mati03x]

What a great video Zach! I've been watching your videos for a long time but I never tell you about them, bad for me. I am from Argentina, a fan of fixed gear, but I am also a track and field racer. The Fuji was crazy to run, plus the competition wheels like lenticulars and high profile tires look great on it!

[@Mr5hyguy.]

Congrats!! Also I heard you bringing fixie points back and I was thinking maybe you can bring those fixie points stickers back too.

[@ronnienes]

Goddamn it. I had a Giant Bowery and then a Kona Paddywagon and I never had ANY interest in riding either as fixed gear, only single speed. Now here I am years later wanting to get into fixed gear riding for the first time.

[@Davidesrajohn]

Hi Zach, congrats on the marriage. Look at us all growing up. Now the fixie craze of the twenty-tens is a decade old, we're settling down, getting married, first grey hairs, knees are hurting... I'm selling my Bianchi Pista with Zen/Suginos for a geared touring bike. But I'll stay subscribed. Maybe you can make a video about building your wife her own bike.

[@maxsievers8251]

She better feels *one with her bike* then.

[@flensle]

Love the idea of a deep(-ish) dive into some brands and their track frames. I really enjoyed the history lesson on Giant! Also congrats on your marriage :)

[@bebopman5]

The Giant Bowery fork was goated. I had one on my BB17, and I felt invincible. So much stiffness, but didn't kill you on rough roads (I ran a 23c Maxxis Refuse). I miss that build so much. Also, this video was very informative, to the point, I've finally figured out one of my single speed frames is indeed a Kona Paddy Wagon. I knew it was a Kona, but never did the research to determine the model. Great work.

[@grantorresmo7609]

I owned a giant Bowery and Fuji trackpro but ended selling them because I thought I was getting too old for them. My love for the fixed gear is back. Now I just bought a Iro mark v and can’t wait to upgrade and ride

[@raymondski1954]

Super congrats to both of you 🎊 !!! Wishing for you all the best in life 💕

[@milesthomas1075]

Yay Zach! Congrats!!🎉

[@kevinf27]

I started out on a Windsor clockwork from bikesdirect, then moved on to the Specialized Langster, after that was stolen I got my hands on a '09 FTP which I still ride to this day.

[@phillyblazen1736]

Right on! I had a Fuji when i lived in Cali 2012-16. Road that bad boi to work from Huntington Beach to my office in Norwalk, of course typical fashion for socal, it got stolen 😢. Anyways congrats 🎉 💍 and great vid my guy 👍🏾

[@i3zd]

BAO-ERRY

[@BenWassell]

Got my NJS chain gang bracelet in the other day, fair to say I love it.

[@sir_jerhyn]

I have a FTP 2005, I'm actually selling it very soon! It's too small and it's definitely a track geometry! I just ordered the Wabi Classic, 55cm is perfect for me!!!!

[@generalprinciple7312]

I had the sickest , booger green Bowery (bow like take a bow) . I’ve got some good pics too if you want

[@ac-vp9mh]

Congratulations to you and your wife 🎉 hope both of you could spend vacation time in the Philippines doing epic rides from the beautiful countryside :D

[@2jzRx7]

I actually own a Fuji Track Classic, pretty stiff but honestly one of the most fun bikes to ride. I had a Fuji feather in 2013, so when I was looking for a new fixed gear, marketplace won with the track classic

[@stephenbunn2907]

I rode a Fuji Track from 2005 onward and sold it a few years ago. It was my only bike for a few years. Finally sold it on FB to a local guy who’s still riding it around. I have 9 or so? pretty nice bikes these days and still think about that one.

[@suzanneslattery219]

Congratulations!!

[@JohnDoe-xj6mf]

Ty for sharing

[@HALOE5000]

I have two bikes, a Giant Bowery and a Fuji Track Pro. 🥺Still ride both to this day.

[@ForestKim]

Love my Omnium! (My frames actually the second top one on the Pedalroom page you were on lol) Had no idea Giant was a taiwanese brand, really nice to learn about the history Just wish theyd bring track frames back 😢

[@drwigglechin]

[@noelduarte9533]

[@unfineartist]

Great history about Giant, i've owned a few, but never knew about the legacy. Does you brother still ride fixed??!

[@NeonCyberSamurai]

Nice little history lesson.

[@groovealate74]

[@efesdead]

[@welovecheshirecats4557]

The early 90s jackie Chan hair is a nice retro touch!

[@thomaspomeroy5678]

I am looking for a single speed adult bike. NOT a fixed geared bike, but just a very simple low maintnence single speed bike. I don't want just a poor quality bike but something that will last. I have watched your videos from years ago, but what brand would be good.

[@event4216]

Congrats on marriage and looking forward FG cargo bike, tandem and kids bikes!

[@generalprinciple7312]

Bao-wery ..like the neighborhood in NY, the Bowery

[@hungrylance]

First! Congrats on the marriage!

[@donttouchthisatall]

[@xxfallenofdeathxx]

[@thomasbudi2000]

Congratulations with the marriage. God bless you with all the best

[@johngorgis]

Brooklyn machine works was hyped up above the clouds don't get me wrong they are sexy

[@felipealcabri]

It's sad to be brazilian and have none of those bikes =/

[@patrickpaulrazon2198]

Saw one paddy wagon here in the Philippines fb marketplace for cheap i was considering getting it lol but alas my wallet said no

[@JogieGlenMait16]

Pompino. I'll take note of that word fo sho!

[@raymund3642]

[@Legendazdubce]

I almost missed the joke with "made in Taiwan"

[@ggwpwp-ep2it]

Bro you're Filipino? Whoa

[@Krt_is_5343]

Bowery, like the Bowery in Manhattan

[@Krt_is_5343]

And isn’t it Brakeless.Illini like Illinois Fighting Illini? 😊

[@dalton-at-work]

congrats on getting married!

[@robertherrera1546]

Oh no ! What will happen to the channel? Will you settle down and get a 9-5 job? Will you have enough time to keep up with your family and babies ? Keep me posted!! Congratulations too. I guess

[@chloetseng5639]

[@mafty_x]

Ayy congrats on the marriage

[@albertsmith9878]

Marriage is a test for who dies first and gets all the money!

[@namebox797]

Japan was not so nice to the indigenous tribes living there tho

[@Horus-Lupercal]

Yeah, that sounds about right.

[@AlanKrupinski-c7y]

[@GabrielAndrewBuen]

But we defeated Japan so yeah

[@Shooterpirat]

Too much ads and to late to the point, gotta gobe it a thumbs down. Sorry bro

[@tonycoffman1324]

Aye! No aluminum bikes! Especially fixed gear bikes. I did have an aluminum road bike with a carbon fork at one time. It was a fuji something from around 2010. I sold that. My fixed gear bikes, hell all of my bikes are all steel frames. I have a Wabi Special, a Felt Brougham, a motobecane x-cross, A windsor The Hour, and then my vintage geared road bikes. 1986 Mitata 710, 1986, Raleigh Grand Prix, 1984 Specialized Allez SE, 1985 Univega nuovo sport, and just bought a Koga Miyata Gents Racer Aero from 1982.. Steel is real 🤟
