The spirit of the 1960s cafe racer motorcycle lives on in Andre Fangueiro’s Cafe Fixie Hybrid bike. It doesn’t have the obvious horizontal, flat form of the motorcycle, but its lean, stripped-down appearance and shape mimic the original measurements, angles, and lines. Unlike the cafe racer, however, the Cafe Fixie Hybrid is more than just a styling exercise with its functional belt-drive single gear system.
