Dion Brink recently took us on an amazingly creative journey, featuring an exceptional chain from Definitive Bikes. We followed the restoration & re-creation of his fixie from start to finish and would like to share this with you.
Our journey started with a glimpse of some loose parts, before and after powder coating in white, blue and red.
A few weeks later we caught a glimpse of another step in Dionβs creative process, some parts being gas welded.
And then a sneak peek at various aspects of the project that were nearing completion.
Next up was a big reveal, the chain. His chain of choice was a vibrant red chain from Definitive Bikes, Tayaβs Super Single -Ξ± in the teflon coated series.
This uniquely attractive, light weight, special half-link chain is recommended for front/rear-motor e-bikes, cycles fitted with internal gear hubs or fixed-gear bicycles. Its plates have an asymmetrical design, putting the chain closer to the gear sprocket. The short plate design makes it much easier to find the correct transmission length compared to standard chains.
The teflon coated series provides anti-corrosion and self-lubricating properties and comes in some amazingly vibrant colours such as red, green, blue and orange.
Finally, after much anticipation, we got to see the completed work of art.
But Dion didnβt just end it there. Over the next few weeks we were taken on a colour filled journey of this bike.
And it looks like Dion already has something planned for his next colourful project. We canβt wait to see the end result of βThe Color Wheelβ!
Tayaβs Super Single -Ξ±
