Tell us about your bike:

Currently, my fixed-gear set up with a 4130 Chromoly Steel Frame in Pink w/ a Black Carbon Fork. The wheels are the Essor 38mm Volo Carbon Wheels. I have Thomson Bars (with SRAM S900 Levers), Stem and Seat Post. Crank is a SRAM Omnium with a silver 49t aarn chainring (current gear ratio 49x15) The saddle is the Fizik Antares 00 (what I ride on all of my bikes). The reason I went with a steel frame is the comfort vs. the aluminum for very-long rides like Phoenix to Tucson. There's something really fun about riding a solid steel bike.
