I just picked up this Mercedes Benz bike on marketplace a couple days ago for really cheap. My plan is to change it to a fixie and if that is not possbile I will jist sell it.

The thing is, it has this really weird belt mechanism and I don't know anything about it.

If anyone knows anyhing about this or has experience with this I would love some advice!

I don't think a fixed cog is meant to do this 😭

full pivoted my ardently gts parts into blue ones just cause i had to get my hands on that blue sugino75

Switched chainrings and went for a roll around the block this morning.

52/14 - knees weren't exactly thrilled. Will take it to the track on the weekend.

Next upgrade?

After almost free years long break riding fixed, I did decide I want one again. This probably will be fair weather and summer commuter for now. I have both brakes because I am old. :D

all ENVE components with SRAM Omnium cranks, EAI Superstar Cog, Deity pedals, and a Specialized Power Comp saddle. this photo is dedicated to all of the babies on this subreddit who hate on people actually making cycling content, yet have brakes on their Walmart Huffy🍼

Leader 721 frame, Leader I806TR carbon Fork, kratozen carbon wheels, Stiffi bomber bars, Ritchey carbon seat post, Miche aero cranks, Thomson stem, stem cap and seat clamp, DMR V12 pedals.

These are my favorites

I care wayy too much about rake lmao

Comments questions concerns roasts appreciated.

Before moving here from England, people told us absolute rubbish like "Wales is a shithole," "Nobody moves from England to Wales," and "The city is full of druggies." Just so many vile statements. We've been here for a year now, and as a black immigrant, I genuinely believe Wales is the best country in Britain. The people are warm, lovely, and treat strangers like their own. Back in England, your neighbours won't even speak to you, and supermarket security will shadow you like you're a criminal. Now I live in Clydach, a quiet, peaceful, and incredibly friendly neighbourhood. Beyond the beautiful, serene environment, I also get to enjoy much cheaper car insurance thanks to the 20mph speed limits. I also play football for my local club, and traveling for away games gives me the chance to see all the beautiful surrounding towns, incredible mountains, and valleys. I visited Pembrey Country Park last week and it was absolutely fantastic! There is just so much to explore in Wales, and I am incredibly grateful to live here. Honestly, I struggle to find a single thing I dislike about Swansea and, by extension, Wales as a whole. Diolch Cymru
