Pizza’s Fixated Vigorous Bike Check

Lucas got his hands on a Fixated Vigorous earlier this year and built it up real proper. Pizza said this bike has helped him learn a lot and feels snappy, lightweight, and comfortable. Usually people never say this, but I think the pictures actually do the sparkles justice!
