Pedal strike while riding in a straight line?!

love this

For those who want to turn a cheap old road bike into a singlespeed bike, Santa Fixie have some nice looking coaster wheel for £45 including a 16t cog.

yep, same story here - I was expecting Hope to give me a replacement and investigate the failure.....
I've since switched my allegiances from Hope to Goldtec!

Finished building this beater/pub blaster last night.....

Needs a rack I think.

A chain and a cassette wouldn't go amiss either

sitting in the next room, cold and rain means im not dragging it cross town to the bike kitchen

I've wanted to stick a coaster brake on my old Guerciotti for a while now, came across this, looks decent enough

Look good, no need to worry about the cheap rims as you're not gonna use a calipers brake.

Go for it, make a nice little station bike.

Yeah it won't get used that often either so i'm sure the rim will be fine.

Is that, is that zip tie on the coaster arm?

Looks like it could be, probably not the brightest idea ever

Especially as it's the only brake on that bike!

Are ultrawide bars a thing now?

Or get a nice F & S eingang from this guy.

the best and most expensive pubbike/beater i ever had :)

It's literally a pub bike when you can transport drunkard on it.

Make it 50p more expensive and get bar ends.

Mini-Max?
So much fun to ride.

Looks like it, it's only a good thing though

yeah mini max, so much more fun than the omnium cargo .
