Single Speed
The Process
Brief
This project explores the idea of customising a bicycle to suit the needs of the consumer.
Many road bikes are available on the market today but they are expensive. In mostly urban environments, 'fixie' road bikes or single speed road bikes are a relatively new, successful and costly trend.
The construction of this single speed bike is a consequence of this trend but at a very low cost. Every part has been specifically chosen and has been purchased mostly on the website - eBay.
When designing and making your own bike it results in a very efficient and enjoyable experience because the maker has considered how every component has been put together and therefore the outcome resolves in an aesthetically pleasing and smoothly running two-wheeled vehicle (tweaks can be made to the bike to optimise its performance).
