Beatnik Mash Fixie

There is simply no material better suited for the rigours of urban riding than steel. Unlike aluminium, steel naturally damps or absorbs the shocks and vibrations of city streets. Aluminum simply transmits it, like a tuning fork, which is why aluminium frames are often criticized for their “harsh” riding qualities. Besides, on a fixie, where vintage reigns, skinny steel frame tubes are just right.
