A few months ago, Andy from FYXO did a great write up on how to customize a $200 off-the-shelf fixed gear into something with more character. Enter the Fyxo Fauxnago. As authentic as Disney Land, but with more street cred than your average mail order fixie. 42:16, front, rear brakes, custom FYXO chainring, new decals, new paint, new saddle and pedals. This $200 Charge Grinder had a $700 makeover.

Andy and the rest of the Urban Cycling Hall of Fame committee is in Chicago for a few days, selecting the first year’s inductees and on our way to the beach yesterday afternoon, I took some photos of this Fauxnago Commuter. See more in the Gallery!
