FIXATED VIGOROUS FRAME OUT NOW

After months of teasing, the EU made Fixated Vigorous frames are out now! The frames come in 3 colors and are built with incredibly high quality to Ritchie’s specs. Youri and Ritchie have been testing and shredding the geo for months and it looks like a super comfy bike, offering a slightly bigger seat tube than the other 26″ frames on the market. For the 26″ European riders looking to not spend a fortune on shipping from the US, your time has come! Here’s what Ritchie has to say about the frames:

Louis Trognon – Bike Checks

Two bike checks coming from Louis! Both on Pride Street bikes but one on 700c and the other has a 650b setup. The 650b actually looks really good on a 700c frame! Nice tricks at the end of both of these too. Been saying this, but Louis is quickly rising the ranks on my fav riders list.

Louis Trognon – Radio Bombtrack Bike Check + Riding

Remember the name Louis Trognon. Louis is the future and the truth.

Louis goes over his rare 2012 26″ Radio Bombtrack build then shreds some serious flat ground on it. It’s suuuper rare to see someone riding a 26″ build like its a 700c Trick Track build, but here Louis is doing some mind melting tricks on a vintage bike. That last line is ridiculous. I kept thinking he was getting greedy but he kept pulling tricks off.

Lucas Sentou – New Bike Day

Poney got himself a Volume Cutter! The bike fits him perfectly and he looks really comfortable on it. He hits some absolutely mind melting fish + chip combos throughout this whole thing. He’s becoming a really well rounded rider too, all the non fish + chip tricks are looking really good. I can’t understand what he’s saying but it’s still a fun watch!

Fixated Vigorous Build + Ride

Ritchie recently built up his new prototype Fixated Vigorous build! The bike turned out sick with the raw to black fade and his component choice is on point. Filming is Crispy too. Regular updates on the release of the frame can be found on the Fixated IG!

Ruff in BCN – I Want It

We’ve been blessed by the fixie gods on this Wednesday! The long awaited Ruff Barcelona video just dropped and it’s easily the best fixed gear content I’ve consumed in 2025. This thing is packed with bangers front to back with a diverse crew including Matt Spencer, Corey San Agustin, Jackson Bradshaw, Juan Nieto, and Diego Valero. The creativity and style of this crew is unmatched and should inspire everyone to go out and ride your darn bike with your darn buds. Too many individual tricks to call out but I was stoked on just about every clip. Corey’s ender is nuts. WOW.

FIXATED FRAME FIRST LOOK

This week Fixated teased a first look at an upcoming “Vigorous” frame in development. We don’t have details yet, but the Euro scene is going to benefit heavily from a more local buying option. I’m excited to see more. Word is Ritchie’s building it this week, so stay tuned for that on the Fixated IG!

Lucas Sentou – Il est né le Divin Divide

Lucas (aka Poney) just dropped this awesome build + ride video for a bike that I’m extremely familiar with, the Bombtrack Divide. Although the whole video is in French, I was still extremely entertained the whole way through. He got the Divide after breaking his Thrasher frame (a difficult thing to do) and builds it up in his chaotic mad scientist looking apartment, which I really enjoy seeing.

As far as Lucas’ riding goes, this is the best form of his riding so far, by far. This frame must have unlocked something in him because his riding looks 10x cleaner on this than it did with his Thrasher. Hope the frame doesn’t break on him too quickly because it’s definitely helping him progress.
