Today I revived My Summer Bike!

This one’s a bit of a beast — a fixed gear touring gravel bike (?)
Cinelli Tutto frame, bought online in size M (I’m 5’8/172cm), and it needed a seat post with setback, a saddle with long rails scooted all the way back, and all the spacers to make it fit.
I guess I’m tall for Italian standards.

Mounted the widest tires it would take, the lightest rack I could find, and the bare minimum in accessories to make it kinda street legal.
It’s the silliest bike I ever built, and it makes me smile every single time I ride it.

      I’m a bit obsessed with steel frames, horizontal top tubes and single speed.
      Which limits the options for bikes somewhat.

          Yeah, unless you want to mount wide tires.
          Then you’d be limited to extremely rare (expensive) 80’s MTB frames and 26" wheels.

            Yeah, that part sucks. I think most frames from that era can fit 26x2.2 ish though, which is something

            Oh btw, that Ukraine-EU flag is nice touch. Meaningful, and happens to fit the color scheme just perfectly
