Rock Racing "Fixie"

Just as BMX’s transformed cycling, fixies are going to be the next big alternative sport. They are making cycling fashionable with a whole new urban crowd and Rock Racing is excited to help fuel this growing trend. -Michael Ball

Yes, that's right. Michael Ball has partnered with Louis Garneau and is producing a line of Rock Racing branded clothing and equipment. Included in the line is a carbon flatbar track bike called "Project 4815". According to the RockRacing twitter, "The Project 4815 carbon commuter bike is a tribute to Michael Ball's favorite gear cluster".




So there you have it...

i do't like the bike. no particular reason, and as dumb as that sounds there are a lot of people who feel the same way about a lot of other things.

I'd like to put a S-A SX3 hub on it and make sure none of the ratios are 48-15.

Well no, not really. I'd rather see Michael Ball choke on his own crap.

that bike would be less awful if it had drop bars.

super aero + flat bars = idiotic
