my new B I K E . . .

check it out!

i got a fixed gear bike like matt has... i'll also picture his below. he's made a project out of his and has been adding parts to it, customizing it all along the way...

anyways, i've always just ridden my mountain bike around the lake with matt, or wherever we go ride, but am loving the simplicity of this new Republic bike so much more, it is way lighter and just easier to ride. there is only one gear, so you have to work at the hills, but matt really taught me to appreciate the stripped down feel of this type of bike! The republic site is really cool, it allows you to choose the frame color, wheel colors, seat, grips, component colors to be exactly what you want.

if you're interested in buying one, use this code for a tiny discount!
