White and brown just like my German hound dog, this is the Singlespeed “PM Terra!” It is very dandy…

Coaster bike “Sister Mary”
Sunday, December 15th, 2013
This racing bike, converted to a single speed, is from the early 70s and was originally a celerifere. Let me explain: FM came to us with an old rust colored two wheeler (or maybe it was just rust) Once we disassembled her we recognized that she was unsuitable for the conversion we wanted.
Singlespeed Pinarello bike “Fuchecco”
Thursday, December 5th, 2013
The singlespeed Fuchecco is in someways the daughter of “La Blè“. When the latter went to live with Checco, he gave us, as a gift to Biascagne Cicli, a Pinarello Victory. From the start she arrived with layers of mud and rust. ” Let me know if you guys come up with something good”, he said… Well this is the result and I hope it lived up to his expectations. The irony is that now the Fuchecco is the bike rode by his partner PPP.
Coaster brake conversion bike “ProFuso”
Thursday, December 5th, 2013
With its clean esthetic, the GF Profuso seems like it should be a fixed gear but it has, in fact, been converted into a single speed with the addition of a Velosteel coaster brake.
Born as a steel framed bicycle from the 70s this “Pearl of Veneto” is a easy rider with an odd and funny set of handlebars. Oh so comfy! According to her equally odd and funny owner.
Singlespeed bike conversion “PMS Lisboa”
Tuesday, December 3rd, 2013
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.

Singlespeed bike “Sempé”
Sunday, June 30th, 2013
Jean Jacques Sempé (known simply as Sempé) was a French illustrator born in ’32 whom we love very much for its extraordinary strokes and for his gentle sense of humor.

Questa bici mi ha portato ancora una volta in giro nella luce invitante dell’alba.
Era il giorno del cambio dell’ora quindi non so nemmeno dire se l’alba mi abbia strappato al letto prima o dopo il solito (ma poi” prima o dopo in che senso..?), comunque era presto, era vacanza e in giro non c’era nessuno.
