Since we posted Two Wheel Drive yesterday, we thought it’d be nice to feature one of the shop employee’s personal bikes. Bryan is a mechanic and his Mash track bike is too slick, laced with Albuquerque’s own DOOM bars and some other nice details. Check out our friend Nick’s photos below with words by Bryan himself…
This is my Mash SF track bike. There are many others like it, but this one is mine. I started riding fixed gear thanks to Mark, at the Fixed and Free Custom Bike Shop. I never would have had the push to switch up from my single speed, or build up my first proper fixed gear build without him motivating me.
Fixed gear bikes helped me find and help build a community in Albuquerque that is inclusive, friendly, and fun. Working at a shop now, I get the opportunity to spread that joy and knowledge of what a simple bicycle can do to change your life.
