I've been wanting to build a full suspension fixed gear for a while. I also love the look of the USSR Takhion pursuit bikes, so had this crazy idea of mashing up a full suspension MTB frame with a track style front: a threaded fork plus an upside down quill stem. The rig rides surprisingly civilised considering the radical setup. It's been called an "abomination", which I take as a compliment Enjoy #fixedmindset #madeinmelbourne (Nov 2025)
