fyxo love

[AngryScientist]

gotta love australia based fyxo. bunch of cool stuff on their webpage, including some rockin photo galleries. i ordered a chainring on deep discount from them a few weeks ago and it arrived today with a cool sticker set. their chainrings are apparently being discontinued, but having used them before, are great quality rings for the 1/8th" segment. fyxo love!

I met Andy when he had the Fyxo shop in Melbourne a few years ago, and then again at the (so far one and only) Australian Custom Bicycle Show in 2012. Absolute top-shelf guy, sells great products. I'd love to get one of his custom builds one day.

And he has (or did have) a Llewellyn :banana:

I obtained this second hand. Love the part.

Second time this early morning I've come across this company.

Note the "Fyxomatosis" frame sticker in the second shot of this beauty posted over in classifieds . http://www.ebay.com/itm/Eddy-Merckx-Cyclo-cross-CX-titane-bike-/271712240445?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f434fc33d

Had to search it to understand. Still not sure I do. Am I wrong or is their company and site the AUS equivalent of Rapha (which seems to attract a measure of scorn)? Sort of a commercial capitalization based on the association/appreciation of other's work which is then portrayed as a desirable life style and parlayed into selling quality product bearing their trademark. The biking equivalent of Patagonia I guess.

I gotta pile on with the Andy love too. Great man.

+1 on all of this. FXYO sells cool stuff and Andy has an excellent eye for aesthetics.

I just found out that chainrings are being discontinued, which means I put off getting some custom rings made at 86bcd until it was too late.
So if FYXO doesn't do custom chainrings anymore, is there anyone out there who does?

I love that idea! I'm on my way!
