Blaine's son Perry lives in New York City. He commutes from Staten Island to Greenwich Village. This is his transportation. It's a fixie — a fixed gear road bike. And it's Old Skool — no brakes. Perry machined the rear dropouts, brazed them on, and built the wheels — radial front and modified crowsfoot rear. It's a pretty thing and an inspiration to get to work again on my fixie. Good job Perry! Great picture, too.
