According to the Razorimages.com crew, this is a 3D rough image of the Lucky13 fixed gear track bike that they designed. However, its futuristic body lines won’t see manufacturing until the design is backed by investors. Let’s hope these skillful designers find the money they’re looking for to get the ball rolling.

Alloy frame with 2 diameter fork (1″1/8-1.5″) to rigidify the front end.

Aurumania, a design company with a passion for working with gold, has designed a lavishing fixed gear bike composed of all-around 24k gold platting and over 600 embedded Swarovski crystals. The 24k gold platted track bike is limited to 10 made with a price tag of Euro currency symbol 80,000. It also comes warranted for ten years, no questions asked – as if that would be the make or break point of an Euro currency symbol 80,000 sale.

Sorry I don’t remember where I found this photoshoped picture of President George W. Bush with a fixed gear in his hand; but I have to share it because it’s too funny and his bike is sick.

Even though more people are taking notice to the fixed gear scene, it’s surprising to see this fixie inspired art piece by Disney in collaboration with The Hundreds – an urban apparel outfitter. The piece on the left features an unfamiliar Disney character throwing up the peace sign while leaning up against a fixie. The second collabo (on the right) features another one of Disney’s characters that happens to be sporting a messenger bag. Both characters are dressed in hipster wear. This Disney x The Hundreds art piece goes to show track bikes are continuing to grow in popularity; And we’re sure with Disney come more enthusiasts.

If you drink beer and you like bikes, a beer opener made from a bike fork might spark your interest. This particular bike fork beer opener started its life out as a Colnago fork. After the bike was unsalvageable, the fork was ripped from its frame and made into a functional lightweight bottle opener. This goes to show that there is always a use for old bike parts.

If you’ve been thinking about assembling a new fixie, check out pedalmafia’s bike designer before you by any parts. By picking through a selection of digital bike parts, you can design your own digital fixie. It took me just a few minutes to nail down this overly stunning road hog. The options on pedalmafia’s fixie-maker offer a variety of frame styles, along with different wheels, handlebars, and any other essential fixed gear necessity. Each part, however, is somewhat limited to color but you can always leave your customized bike colorless and bust out the some crayons to theme out your fixie.

From the looks of it, this bike is strictly for show. It hosts hundreds of flesh piercing spikes, running form the saddle, around the frame, down the bullhorn handlebars, and pedals. I ran across this fixie browsing flickr.com where It’s titled “TOKYO DAD-NESS” instead of what I see it as — “Hell Raiser’s fixie”.
