I remember you saying that you didn't really like making these roast-type videos. But they all are really funny and so is this one. Thank you and all the best.
holy shit. I found your channel primarily through your diy advice videos and was immediately struck by how kind, open and empathetic you come across. The fact you also have this insane, evil, roast persona lurking in the background floored me. Jesus fuck, you are brutal, and hilarious my dude
The Surly Steamroller one was built by a company called Carytown bikes! I remember seeing their post on Instagram lol. If you’re ever on the east side in the U.S.A. they’re in Richmond, VA and worth checking out !
Been building bike for 40 plus years ..doing a fixie now. its turned out to be a fun build and I fell in love with thick slicks and the no cable look..anyways happy building be inspired.😛
Some of the frames you can buy in Aliexpress are made in Taiwan. Also, not all the sellers ship from China. And most of the production is being outsourced to China from Europe or the USA to cut down on costs. For example, a bike that is being put together in the UK might be using Reynolds tubing from Taiwan or using other components built in China.
I'm glad the planet's remaining 54K fixie riders all came here to support your channel. Another note, fixie culture was a gutter movement, you rich boys all fucked it up. The top fixies are old shit slapped together, NOT what costs the most at hipsterbike.com
U know...the funny thing is that fixies can be stopped without foot retentions. I had my first fixie like that ,no brakes of course. The catch was that i could only force my foot into the pedal to stop the bike when i was riding fast. I had problems stoping the bike when going slow. I am not a heavy rider and i didn't had enough weight to push down on my pedal.
I like Tsunami's. If you just want an out of town bike cruiser, I think it would be fun to use. As of now, I've got an old Schwinn Continental bike with one brake I'm going to put a fixed gear on. Or, an old Gitane frame with 27" wheels. Starter bikes to see if I want to invest in a more serious true fixed gear.
Ldg bikes are freaking awesome the mark 2 cool fgfs and as well as their steel offering including their 2 inch link fixed gear worth checking out if you like unique frames also made from Columbus tubing
Nope, tried pistards and ellipses. Ellipses are slightly stiffer and will take more beating. A lot more. Bombproof level. They use those kinky proprietary mavic spokes that actually kick ass. I'll take ellipses based on experience.
I live in Southern California, and would love to have a "Wild Fire" bike!!! I would also like to ride a bike named: Volcano, Hurricane, Tidal Wave, Polar Vortex, Fire Storm, Super Nova, Lightning Strike, Meteor Strike, Atomic Explosion or Cyclone. Sorry about the Atomic Explosion; I got carried away.
Hi Zach! Very funny and entertaining video! Is it possible to build a fixed gear bicycle from a frame with vertical dropouts, considering that chain tension is very important on fixed gear cycles?
@@anthonybranchflower4308Thanks for your reply! Yeah, horizontal dropouts are better suited for SS and fixed, while vertical dropouts are better for MTB. Although I read it's still possible, just a bit harder.
Ellipses take regular lockrings? If you use the dumb Miche one the hub text is the wrong way round. They're double sided fixed. What Ellipses don't take is freewheels.
Bridge stone guy is not tryna show off thigh but that clip on the top tube is massive bling it is surprisingly expensive and a rubber piece on kiren bikes to maintain their value so the top tube will never b dinged
Tsunami, Maldea, and Celt are the most common bike in the Philippine scene, good "geo"? budget friendly even 15 year olds here can afford it by saving from school allowance. Not exciting, but it's a decent bike to start with.
That Fuji is mine lol, sorry for not having any legs and one arm..
I’ve seen it in Born In Garage. Saludos boludo.
@@javieresposito9912 el saludo es una puteada o con buena onda?
@@brunolevi7575 una argentineada con buena onda jajaja
Jaja tremendo como bardean a big
it looks great. this guy rides a huffy.
Me: wow that's a cool bike
Zach: ugh disgusting
Me: eww disgusting
I liked then saw 70 so I unliked
😂😂 that's pretty honest 😁
But plz don't say that WABI is a cool bike .. i just don't wanna see it anymore because of this repitition maybe 😬
@@ouisletiilyess7934 im a roadie so i tend to think every fix bike look cool
I laughed so hard at this , this community is hilarious 😂
This channel is total love and dedication, I'm fresh meat to the fixie world and realised this is the place.
Tsunami Owner: Tsunamis are popular in the Phillipines.
Actual Tsunami: Am I a joke to you?
7:56 "And also, trash in your rear wheel" HAHAHAHHAHA I'm dead, hilarious episode overall
"Just cut the handlebars in half, and that way you have more wiggle room... to _add. More. Decals."_
I had to pause because I choked on my drink.
There is a guy in my town who doesn’t have hands but still rides his bike
Blake Xie respect
I'm not making this up, but I used to see a guy around town who was biking with one leg and a crutch acting as his other leg.
Portland? Cause I saw a dude in Portland riding a bike and he didn't have arms
Who is he ? Facebook page ? Instagram ?
He used to be really tough but now he's harmless. The h is silent.
This is great! It's like Pintrest with commentary 😂
PLEASE BRING BACK FIXIE POINTSSS
I remember you saying that you didn't really like making these roast-type videos. But they all are really funny and so is this one. Thank you and all the best.
I like that second one, cool to see a unique frame, notice what's going on near the drop-outs.
HACK AND RIDE BIKES they are called replaceable drop outs also got ldg recommend checking them out
I don’t see what’s wrong with a workhorse as a dream bike
its not serious
So you don’t need to then comment on it if it’s not serious
one day i want the own a rusty civic
the9file one day I want the all wheel drive SUV with roof racks and comfortable seats**
Surly makes a damn nice bike, but are the equivalent of "she's got nice child-rearing hips"
holy shit. I found your channel primarily through your diy advice videos and was immediately struck by how kind, open and empathetic you come across. The fact you also have this insane, evil, roast persona lurking in the background floored me. Jesus fuck, you are brutal, and hilarious my dude
PLEEEEEASE BRING THIS BACK!!!!

I knew that mural looked familiar! Theyre a great shop but not a lot of fixed gear stuff in there though.
RVA! ✌🏿
yoooo i love that bike shop
I think this is the best episode yet

Man I hope MASH see this and go ahead making the 1989 earthquake frameset!
The silver steel bike looked the best
"Your photos are... They suck!" The philosophy about the Tsunami was hilarious!
I can never dislike some much appreciated dry ass sarcastic humor.
it's 2023, have you seen a tsunami irl?
Ayyy that's my ldg WE MADE IT
cxrdz cho ass up
How do u submit can’t find his email
@@juancortez570 bruh I see you

That "custom track frame" is a crew district
Just to be clear, Stronglight has been making cranks and rings since at least the 1930s or so. Outside of that, carry on!

Y'all got so roasted 😂😂 Vid so funny it didn't feel like 20 mins.
Thanks for the laugh!
I love your roasts!!!
I love your videos. So awesome.
I enjoy your educational videos.
these roasts are very entertaining and accurate i really enjoyed it.
"Welcome To The Heckle~Dome"* Folks actually volunteer to get heckled by you, that's a compliment. *[Public Enemy - Welcome to the Terrordome]
This is extremely fun to watch
How do I submit pictures of my bike for the video
Same question. I can't seem to find a link or email address. I wanna play fixie points too!!!!!
Rideslongandhard i found his email at the end of the video

Too bad I can never show my stickerbombed and custom made road bike, it has gears and brakes.
Nope, tried pistards and ellipses. Ellipses are slightly stiffer and will take more beating. A lot more. Bombproof level. They use those kinky proprietary mavic spokes that actually kick ass.
I'll take ellipses based on experience.
Best fixie points so far!

yooooooooooo Zach you hilarious hahahaha that skater kid that grew up to become the establishment he hated hahaha spot on
Great bike I'm 6'3 with 32 inseam and it's a great size for me!
how can i send my fixed gear pictures on Zach?
Are you going to review the new Aventon Ultro? Ps you the best!
Hi Zach! Very funny and entertaining video! Is it possible to build a fixed gear bicycle from a frame with vertical dropouts, considering that chain tension is very important on fixed gear cycles?
Simon Que possible ... highly not recommended

Zach, love these videos, hilarious bro thx
hey zach what can u say about the bike frame CELT 2k17?
I use chain tensioners to make it harder to steal my rear wheel here in NYC
It's back! Fixie points!!
I enjoyed the video. Keep putting videos Zach!
Ellipses take regular lockrings? If you use the dumb Miche one the hub text is the wrong way round. They're double sided fixed.
What Ellipses don't take is freewheels.
Hey man, I'm looking for a fixed gear bike, but I'm not sure about what size I need. Can you tell me what size frame I need for my length. I'm 180cm
Cheers Zach, this was such a good laugh 😂
In the spirit of arbitrary roasting: Calling people unoriginal for liking The Office is now officially as unoriginal as liking The Office.
How do you send in your pics ?
Would a Trek 5500 Carbon 120 frameset get some fixie points?
Yo Zach wanted to ask what hubs are you running? I have Novatec hubs and can’t use the dura ace lockring at all ):
eh I won't enter fixie points, likely no real use since i use a single-speed
love this feature funny 🖖🏴☠️
Haha there are so many ways to stop a fixie without foot retention haha
Hey, Zach. I'm here again just to ask why this segment is discontinued? This was so entertaining tbh
Oh no stronglight one of our last French bike part manufacturers... oh well I'll still use them hon hon hon
awesome vid, thanks
Gets Frameset from Aliexpress.
Buys Cinelli stem.
Priorities bruh. 🤣
alıexpress has some good quality stuff too such as that tsunami frame
Is a swchinn fastback good, its a carbon fiber 501
I want to see Zach's dream build....
There was a dealer in Torrance,Ca who sold Japanese KEIRIN approved gear.around 1996.
I heard u can use points to buy stuff for your bike?
What about Single Speeds?
What do you think about Borneotrack?
My bike frame is "artisan made" but in reality I bet they call it that cause it's locally mass produced
my fuji is also hideously painted/decal'd. gonna repaint. Reccos? lol
Ayeeeeeeeee fixie points let’s goooooooooooooooooooo
Hi there,
How can i submit my Bike? Would love to hear Zachs opinions :D
Frikken hilarious, kuya Zach ! Salamat !!
The fork on that masi is unicrown? 🤔
made my day lol!
Tsunami has a quite good reputation in China for its insane price and decent quality
I keep telling myself it’s satire but I just can’t believe it
3:21 Sweet
In this episode Zach takes on his many male admirers
Bridge stone guy is not tryna show off thigh but that clip on the top tube is massive bling it is surprisingly expensive and a rubber piece on kiren bikes to maintain their value so the top tube will never b dinged
Should have given u more seconds of course u know but I think that was what photo was of-not my bike btway but I love old dura ace on a fixie 😍
That 'Aldente' bike is the best looking one
Wild fire sounds like a great name for a mtb.
lol I like Olive Garden. dude is cold

Yo zach tsunami are dope and it's great wtf are u on abt?
Fixie points = send in pictures of your bikes and Zach will make fun of them.
Nathan Dycus yes that’s the point??
