    No one's sleeping on it, it's just that the market for a 7lb frame is a very niche sector.

    I have been riding bikes my whole life and a whole lot. Last week my old bike which I had over 60000 km with got stolen. I have been watching your channel a lot lately and thought, maybe it is time for my first fixed gear bike. And yeah, after two minutes I did my first skids (short ones, very short), and I felt like learning to ride my bike again. So good! I am looking forward to my fixed gear adventures!!

      This is the comment I’ve been seeking, yet not a lot of people care for this. Adapting to a heavy frame will forsure give you the gains you need, with gear ratios you can help yourself more to sustain the weight increase and will honestly help for those who want to enhance their stamina and strength. Adding more -
      If you have your weekend track bike the difference will feel weird yet Boltish Cadence.

    Their nor snappy unless you move to a high end wheelset and stiff cranks. not that the weight would ever get low and still be as effective as what you rode now. But do some better wheels and I promise it will move to top 5 or even 3 in your stable.

    @event4216 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    To me it seems like any decent frame rides just fine and diff lies in geo, tire clearances, and details. One has to buy really crappy frame with heavy plain gauge tubing and soft fork ends to have issues with it, not enjoy riding it and wanting to replace with something better.

      Old, follicly challenged and was fat. Get a single speed. Trust me lost 42 pounds. I may be a little bit overweight now, but I’m healthy and I feel a lot better. Don’t overthink it just get a bike that fits you and is comfortable. No one cares how much it weighs. You’re not gonna be doing the Tour de France just ride.

    • @Roboprogs
      @Roboprogs 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Thanks for the encouragement, you guys.
      I have a 3x7 geared Giant ATX outfitted as more of a hybrid instead of a mountain bike. I lost about 30 pounds 3 years ago, but it’s hard keeping it off.
      The California foothills have different requirements than the Central Valley. I could not get around here on my old 6 speed, let alone a single.

    I've got a steel frame diamond shaped tube set and it's so springy and fast. The one thing that never gets spoken about with steel is the tube shape and I wish there was more information for the people.

      Tyrant was started by the original, LEADER Bikes guy (back in the day Leaders, before he got f-d over from refusing to pay for/sell a batch of "irregular" / flawed bikes from their manufacturer). He's now partnered with some new die-hard fixed gear riders and started Tyrant. This steel Legacy is an homage to the popular Leader bike design. Check out their site and also, Brotures (selling them in Japan).
      SN: When I spoke to Tyrant regarding fitment/size; They promised to exchange the frame they suggested if I was unhappy (even after I build it and checked it built. Sending me a shipping label etc.) It wasn't necessary because the 52cm for my 172cm ht. is perfect. I'm in the US btw.
