Fix
The proper term for a single gear fixed wheel bicycle. These bikes were traditionally home made by the users; they would take a traditional 10 speed frame toss out the hanging derailleur and remove the 5 speed fly wheel and replace it with a single speed "fixed" hub. These bikes were most popular among NYC bike messengers in the 70's, 80s, and early 90's because of their low maintenance and lighter weight; many users would have only a front brake or forgo brakes totally because you can control the bikes momentum solely suing your feet. These bikes were not for the lazy or lighthearted because they require a much more skilful and alert riding style as well as perpetual motion because the is no "free" spin mode. The Fix could be brought out right in those days at some bike stores by asking for a racing bike. Racing bikes were usually made by Bianchi or Lotus and sported rear facing dropouts for the back wheel; these store bought Fix bikes were uncommon for the average fix rider and primarily purchased by bike messengers. The majority of serous road bike riders, then and now, use geared bikes. Today people are calling bikes like this "Fixies"; there was no such term ( fixie ) being used on the streets in 1970's thru early 90's. Fixie should be used to describe store bought bicycles many of which do not even have fixed flywheels.

The mug exceeded my expectations. Really excellent quality and build
Jim, you’re a fucking idiot interfering with accurate ratings and legitimate feedback. Get a hobby.
Great gift!
A little spendy, but worth it.
My wife kept talking about "ways out" being a Denver version of "psych" and she was right, so I got her this once I found it on UD. She loved it!
It's a great mug, will reccomend to family members my grandma gave me this mug for christmas and it was by far the best gift i got.
It arrived three weeks after ordering but given the holiday rush and inability of shipping to keep on schedule arrived late but was perfect little gift from me to my wife for her morning coffee with her "nickname" on the mug.
I liked the photo on your website and so I ordered the mug. You sent it right away, and it looks great!
Arrived carefully packaged
me and the boys when i get vodka mug
I ordered 3 of your mugs, with different names on them. There was a typo in the information about the name on the back of each of the mugs. This wasn’t a dealbreaker because the people who received them liked them. However, it would be nice if somebody who has basic proficiency in spelling English words could proofread the script for all of your names before they’re prepared.
Arrived on time. Great packaging. Communication with vendor was top-notch. High quality item.
I love it! Thanks! So
Great present for a retiring colleague with custom saying she's known for!
Loved this mug! So unique and you can edit the text to add something unique.
I gave it to my friend who took money from me and never returned.
I love the fact that I was able to customize my name since I've never been able to find anything with my name. The only downside is it's smaller than I thought it would be (I guess I didn't pay much attention to that), wish it was bigger, only about 10 oz total.
It's simply awesome; and plus, the word means a lot.
Really fast and looks great! Took a chance on Christmas gift and it was a success!
