Lachlan Morton does it all. Whether its in racing in the World Tour Pro-Peloton, getting results in the fabled off-road juggernaut events: DK200, Leadville, and Mid-South, or setting solo-records on his "free-time" by Everesting, riding the Kokopelli Trail and traversing Britain by bike - Lachlan approaches cycling with a passion that is unparalleled. A thirst for adventure, supreme mental fortitude, and appreciation for feeling alive fuels the 28-year old Australian pro, who currently rides for EF Pro Cycling.
After self-isolation for 2 weeks (and 2 weeks after the trip too) - we met up with Lachlan just 1 day prior to his departure for the late-start of the post-COVID-19 Pro Cycling Tour in Europe. Episode 12, takes us to Colorado, where Lachlan has been training for a chat about the "new / alternative" approach to riding. We hope you enjoy.
About the Series: "Riding Fixed, Up Mountains, With Pros." The concept is simple, we wanted to get to know our favorite Pro cyclists and what better way to conduct a natural interview than on the bike, taking them out of their comfort zone just a bit by doing in with NO GEARS (and no brakes sometimes).

Lachy is quietly building his legend. Yet, during the interview he said nothing about being a multiple record holder. That's classy. Hopefully the pro racing world will allow more unconventional riders like him to make a decent living. Thank you for making my day!

This is wonderful. I like to think I am comfortable descending big hills fixed (UK, Welsh Marches). But... I would not have the bottle or confidence to do so on a loose surface. That is another level. I can spin briefly at 175-180 on a big drop, but not with power... just letting the legs go. These guys are anpther level. Also (now aged 60) I cannot sustain these fast descents on fixed and have to brake every now and then to get the legs down under 140 before speedong up again. But as anove... These guys are absolutely on it. And... Chatting while climbing. Chatting while climbing! Hat! (As we say on the UK).

Great stuff guys impressive ! Here's how I roll: Singlespeed is just as challenging up grades yet allows you to rest knees on down hills. I'll run a 16-17 or 18 fixed cog on one hub side & Single speed 17 or 18 cog on the other side - on a 'flip-flop hub'. Bring a 15mm wrench to swap over. Go out fixed at outset or uphills then swap to Singlespeed upon return leg or descending.

This bike was really easy to assemble kzfaq.infoUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.
