Today I revived My Summer Bike!

This one’s a bit of a beast — a fixed gear touring gravel bike (?)
Cinelli Tutto frame, bought online in size M (I’m 5’8/172cm), and it needed a seat post with setback, a saddle with long rails scooted all the way back, and all the spacers to make it fit.
I guess I’m tall for Italian standards.

Mounted the widest tires it would take, the lightest rack I could find, and the bare minimum in accessories to make it kinda street legal.
It’s the silliest bike I ever built, and it makes me smile every single time I ride it.

    I’m from Southern Germany.
    And yes, I do tour with it. The longest was about 800km in a week through the Black Forest. It’s important to remember that every fixed gear bike has three gears: sitting, standing and walking.
    But I also noticed that when I start to walk on a steep hill, my riding partner with 30 gears usually follows soon after.

    I admit I wasn’t smiling on some of those miles.
