by Paul Hamad

Paul Hamad's fixed Independent Fabrications

i've been riding a surly steamroller for over a year now. having become very competent, i've decided to take it to the next step... offroad c-cross fixed. i've always wanted an i.f., so why not? i love steel, and i.f. make great steel bikes.

Transmission of Paul Hamad's Independent Fabrications

i wasn't sure how hardcore i was going to be offroad, so i put a freewheel on it so i could flip it just in case i wimped out.
