This vintage single speed bike will race along the Tejo.
The initial project was meant to be a fixed gear bike, but to get around Tejo, Lisbon with its steep descents (and ascents), we needed two brakes capable of handling the demanding terrain. Before we mounted the brakes, we convinced ourselves that this bike was meant to be a singlespeed. It well maybe that in some future time she will become a fixie but for now she needs some kilometers of free wheeling. Really just want a good excuse to return to Lisbon to change the COG.
