The Tokyo Fixed Dream Machine is likely to be the most versatile single speed frame that you will find, and its versatility doesn't come at the cost of clean lines and good looks. The hearts of our bikes are in our London store where we do what we love; build custom bikes. We have used our extensive experience from dealing with the finest cycle brands to produce a range of beautifully crafted and classically inspired steel frames. This is the bike that we have always wanted to design and this simply comes down to the fact that, apart from vintage path racers, we couldn't find anything like it elsewhere. We developed the Dream Machine for strength with an indestructible double plated fork crown and hand fillet brazed Columbus Zona steel tubing.
Our classic Dream Machine is the ideal porteur bicycle for town use. The top tube is flat giving a more classic look and feel, and we're using Columbus Zona which is a lighter, stiffer tubing than the original Thron. It's still a jack of all trades, but a better looking, lighter one.
This frame has a level top tube so the measurement listed is centre to centre.
