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!

We went out to Pedro last January and shot these pics, and honestly just kind of forgot to post them cause we’ve had so much going on. Full rundown after the jump!

MUST WATCH – GARAGEBOYZ 9

STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING. GRAB SOME FOOD. WATCH THIS VIDEO.

25 minutes of Euro SHRED AND ANTICS. Youri, Ismael, Antoine, Finn, Ritchie, Crispy, Marinus, Edith. The star of the show in this one is Youri though. Watch as he conquers multiple European countries with no straps and usually no shirt either.

I’m loving this video from tip to tip and I have no doubt in my mind you’ll love it too. Easily the best series in fixie right now. GARAGEBOYZ 9 FOREVER.

Eurotrip 35mm – Bridge Session

I realized that I still have unreleased pics from our Ruff Netherlands trip in 2023 (saving a lot of it for when the Ruff full length releases), but I have some stuff safe for release in the vaults still. Here’s a few off my 35mm during our bridge session.

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!

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!
