I got into fixies during peak hipster ca. 2010, but always felt under-prepared with the minimalist meta. The more I added, the better I liked it, until I ended up with a city bike on 23c's that can nearly keep up with cars.

Remix of Domi's SJ410 body, and digid's body mount posts (though there's honestly not much of the original left at this point).
I'd been trying to do a pure magnet mount, but it just wasn't sturdy enough. The body kept coming dislodged with even minor amounts of pressure, so I decided to go for a magnet/hinge hybrid mount. It's probably a little over-engineered (especially the magnetic catch at the rear), but that body isn't going anywhere.
I feel like I'm about done with the design phase, and it's just fine-tuning appearance from here. I'm thinking about trying to print it in ABS/ASA, then acetone vapor smoothing it to get rid of the layer lines...then paint, windows, and lights...timeline TBD.
So I was watching *Gabby's Dollhouse: The Movie* with my daughter this morning and spotted some familiar 'thane. I thought it was funny that they sprung for such high-end wheels for a movie prop, but maybe someone on the crew already had them (or bought them hoping that they could take the prop home when filming is done 🤫).
