If the fixed gear of yesteryear modernized and became sensible without losing its fixie edge? That'd be the Projekt. Wide 700 x 40mm tires on wide rims, two-finger sculpted levers and long reach forged brakes, moderate, do-it-all-including-dirt gearing, and a long reach/short stem wide mid-rise handlebar. That's how you modernize the fixie while keeping it rad. Icing on the cake? The Projekt flaunts eco-friendly componentry: 100% recycled tires, 100% recycled tubes, rice-husk composite grips, rice-husk composite pedals, and a reused materials saddle. Yep, pretty hard to mess with that.
