Back in the Ham

This being my first post I'll briefly give you a little background. My names Jesse, I'm originally from Birmingham. I moved down to Ft. Lauderdale 3 years ago and about 2 years ago I stumbled apon this "fixie" scene. I immediately became obsessed. I went and bought an old fuji frame for $50 bucks from a local pawn shop. It took me another 8 months to finally finish the bike. I didn't really know a whole lot about bikes at this point so what now takes me a week took me several months to figure out. When I finally finished it I paraded it around town only to find that it was several sizes to small for me. So.... I gave it to my wife and started the search for my own bike. Now 3 years and 7 bikes later Im back in Birmingham.
The whole goal I suppose of this blog is just to find out if there are any fixie riders here in Birmingham and to form a more organized community. There were about 30 to 40 riders in Ft. Lauderdale and one of the guys had a blog for this same purpose and it proved extremely helpful to everyone involved. So, yeah. Thats all I have to say about that. Welcome all fixie (and those curious) riders.
