Off-road / gravel / mud fixed-gear bikes (whisper: tracklocross)

This is a wonderful bicycle, just looks great fun.

I presume that is not the original fork?

Awesome

Thanks (and @nogk). It's great to ride. The fork is an All City nature boy disc.

Readers wives?

My dearly departed Dekerf softail tracklocross

That looks great fun

Nice,same set up as my Octane One

My contribution to this thread. My beloved old crappy GT Palomar that I'm running fixed with an eno hub. Nothing fast or fancy but it was great fun building a wheelset for the first time, and this thing rolls like a tank.

Part of me would love to get a disc mount brazed on the rear, but I don't really want any encouragement to go back to gears as this thing feels special as it is

My ESB gets plenty of use as tracklocross / fixedmtb and I recently switched out the rear stays to run 2.2" tyres. This clearance won't be much fun in the mud but with something slightly smaller it's great.

I also once managed to persuade the guys at Herne Hill to let me race my Kitchen Bike in the 2016 summer cyclo-cross series on 25mm road tyres. Great fun but not sure it'll happen again cause of keyboard warriors post race.

Some people take summer cx races far too seriously.

Yeah it's why I always get there 2 hours early and sit on the start line so I can get on the first row of the grid.

Loser!

I may try disc

Cinelli Tutto
Squid SO-EZ
Surly Steamroller
All City big block
Ribble Urban 725

Theres probably loads more as plenty of modern track frames have clearance for wider tires

Thank you so much for that, really appreciated it.

Only yesterday I found out regarding the Squid, looks like an expensive frame, I saw their collaboration with Brick Lane Bikes as well.

Cinelli Tutto is way super expensive, but I heard really good stuff about it.

The Surly is nice and not so expensive, All City seems hard to find around and I have not heard about the Ribble before, I am going to check it now.

Ribble looks pretty good value compared to the rest, triple butted 725 steel. The rest are just cromo as far as I know.

It has kind of strange geometry though, long top tube. I guess it's designed to be used with short stems.

The price difference between frame and full bike is a bit annoying, you would probably be better off buying a full bike and selling the components you didn't want.

There's a btwin singlespeed that looks decent too

The Ribble's only pre order until September. Looks like a decent build for the money, none of the parts are terrible.
