With two of the most influential fixed free riders in Japan at the Moment (Tom Lamarche and Ed wonka) as well as the quest for inspiration on a new bike I’m working on, Ive been trawling a lot of Japanese Fixed footage. This Video shows how killer those cats are becoming as well as another way to look at building a fixed gear bike for this style of riding.
Who’s got thoughts on riding a 29r Frame with 700c wheels?

Ed Wonka is doing some crazy stuff right now, that’s for sure.
As far as riding a 29er, I’m not so keen on that. I guess the line becomes unclear and it moves away from track style geo to a more relaxed style.
I guess it’s still riding fixed. On the plus side the bike will be stronger. You could also use 29er wheels I guess.
Here’s another Wonka vid: http://vimeo.com/7755127
