After three weeks, no sun, just all wet and dark and work. Finally there is sun, crispy fresh snow, and holiday. Life is good. Winter has many sounds and silences to it that are unique. As Knausgård writes, nothing is as silent as the forest when it snows. The silence of the winter is the acoustic version of its whiteness. And you know the sound of that new thin puddle ice cracking when you roll through it. The sharp cracks and the tingling of shatters spreading on the ice that remains.

The steel, red, pure, basic trail fixie. A BMX for the wilderness. While I love the titanium rides, this is the idea that started it all. The ruggedness, simpleness, slim tubes, accessible price point, total absence of high tech. Not even a through axle in sight. I wish I hade some more of it, to sell to the few people sharing my wicked ideas about biking! I have not ridden this bike in the entire 2025 I think and man what I liked doing it today! I don’t know why. Made the titanium Zen feel like a tank in comparison. Maybe it was the narrow rims; lighter wheels, rounder tire profiles. Or the chopped old handlebar, 10 cm less to turn. Sports car instead of bus driver. Or the old mega long Cult Rasta grips, simply the best ever. Or maybe it was just the beautiful autumn evening. That’s really what it’s all about.

Visit Västerås with bike! This was a pleasant surprise. When visiting town for a day I was able to shoehorn the fixie into the little car boot and explore some local trails while the older kids were doing other things. Trails turned out to be super nice, burly, demanding and naturally technical, small ups and downs and also super easy to navigate even for a first time visitor like me. Well done everyone involved in Västerås. I could do this again!

Back on trails after two months due to pneumonia and life in general. Shape may all time low but riding a bike is always ATH. For Heroux Cycles, all stock frames sold out and a new project has begun, slowly. It will happen in 2925, promise.

This old trail fixie picture from 2010 popped up. Those old enough can relate to the evolution of light hardware since! And this fixie MTB I set up already in 2008. So as far as real trail riding goes, I just realized I’m soon approaching MORE than half that time being on the fixed, than on other kinds of bikes although I’ve been doing this since I was a kid. Did not see that coming. Time flies you know. This curious fixie offroad experiment I did somewhere back in 2006-2007 or so almost as a joke just never ended.

If the magic opportunity to actually ride bikes for fun appears, no weather or trail condition is a valid reason to decline. While the trails were surprisingly awesome, the gravel approach was DEADLY with every little pebble wrapped in wet ice. Vigilante 2.8 is the perfect rear companion for sloppy sketchy days like these. Crunchy ice, muddy mud, wet water, moist fog.

“Now go away or I’ll taunt you a second time!” I have always loved the French way, don’t we all honestly. The proud creation of - - went through one corporate cathartis after another but I always wanted one of those skinny beautiful steel hardtails in the nineties. Now as things happened, a crazy-looking Sunn Shamann became my new laboratory for the dreams of going full suspension true single speed. Because it’s not healthy to try to keep up with the downcountry friends on a rigid brakeless fixie. Lots of hack putting old and new stuff together and going SS on a full system frame but so far it feels kind of awesome.

Forgot to tell the world that I was out biking a couple of weeks ago. Very nice. So remembered that there is still that one, single frame left; Zen titanium single speed or fixie 29x3.0 fully rigid frame plus awesome rigid steel fork left in stock. Black fork, IS disc brake tabs. 142x12 rear, 100x15 front. Classic, simple. Blowout sale to open our next chapter: 1190 EUR for frame + fork (both brand new). PM for details, web shop is down for a reboot.

The steel prototype. So cool yet it never felt really right to ride, while the two ti bikes did. It is in between the others in geometry so it should not be like this. I have been bothered by this and this morning I did a rebuild. Switched to external lower headset cup, wider bar, tuned spacers (especially in color), saddle switch, new crankset and 2T lower gearing, nicer grips… small things. Still the less than great Coronado 2.8 race tire on 17 mm CX rim but apart from that, it felt amazing! That little geo correction and the bike was just flying on the trails this evening. I think we need to get the steel project up and running again. While titanium is the metal of superheroes, gods and magicians, steel is steel.

Until just a few years ago, I always felt moose contact was something serene, beautiful and calm. It happened several times, some times very close, and it was never scary, just looking at this majestic creature. Now lately, sound this area close to the suburbs, there is a nasty rumor about a particularly aggressive specimen. Attacking humans and dogs. Living close to us but hating it. So, this time, I decided to get the h*ll out of there instead of extending the experience.

Two rigid rides in a week is slightly over what makes a recently broken arm happy. But for sure it makes the mind happy. Can’t please everybody all the time. And got rid of some creaky BB for this ride for a TOTALLY silent bike, as the fixie god intended it. Only rubber meeting roots and my own struggling lungs. This is why! And I won’t give this project up until I’ve achieved the same for a fullsus bike. Because sometimes you need to keep up with fast guys.

Trail riding! Such a great idea. Light rain, snow and hail. Zero bikers out but maybe 100 hikers on the yellow trail! One shouted “NO SUSPENSION!”, great conversation starter, I wish I’d stopped for a chat. I also must add that there is one single Zen plus fork left, possibly forever. Webshop is out for a while waiting for new things but PM if interested. EUR 1299 frame only or 1399 frame plus fork (black, brake mounts).
