That's sweeeeeet! I'd love to see it on a 4130 Beantown ride.

I'll have to come out to one of those. When's the next one?

2014 and 2015 WTP Atlas

Are those 24"s or 26"s?  The toe straps would indicate a Fixed Gear Freestyle (FGFS) bike along these lines:

Huh. Just answered my own question. Zoom in on the back tire (handy label in just the right place) and it's for sure a 26"!!

However, that geo still looks nothing like a FGFS.

agreed... but I need a new commuter. Throw a freewheel on that puppy...

2016 Model C

Just built up one of these at the bike shop I work at.  We upgraded the forks and bars to the aftermarket Sunday ones.  Probably one of my favorite complete Model C's to date. 

I also just ordered in some 24" Chase Hawk tires for my green Model C.  I've been in love with the Intense MKIII micro knobs for years now.  Time to try something new.

@skateparkrider- the Chase Hawk tires run smooth and fast with surprising amount of grip I have mine set at max psi front and rear. I may change mine out for a tan wall tire, but plan to wear the hawks out first.

@bunkyd- bars are a bit high, one inch higher rise than stock, i have them pulled back a tad now still getting used to the feel. There aren't many options in a lower rise size that has the raw welds exposed. brake cable was too short after bars were installed btw.

Tell me about it!  There's not a whole lot of options out there for cruiser bars.  I'd been looking for some raw cruiser bars for a while, and couldn't find anything where the welds looked decent.  Ended up settling on some of the raw bars that come on the WTP Atlas complete that I bought off of RoDilla78 on here, but they don't really have much in the way of weld marks.  They looked awesome with the raw Sunday stem, but I couldn't get used to the 2 degree upsweep on them.  I'd kill to find some of the chrome 24umph XL bars from one of the 2015 Sunday Model C completes!  Been trying to find some of those forever.

Hell yeah, what's up Bunky. 

I ride the Chase Hawk tires on my 20" right now.  Awesome tire, for sure.

Bobby!  Keeping the cruiser going like usual!  When it warms up this spring, I think it's going to be cruiser rail central time   Been finding a bunch of good spots in Raleigh, and did a couple of decent rails before the weather started cooling down.  I'm such a wuss with cold weather.

And fixed gear freestyle just sounds dangerous and stupid, but what the heck do I know.

Well, it has a much longer history than bmx freestyle, going back more than 100 years.  I don't do it personally, but mucho respect for the talent I've seen.
