It was fixed gear, flipped the hub to freewheel side now cos it’s a bit more chill. Got a front dynamo, haven’t fit the rear yet. Also putting full length guards on at some point :)
MCamb-
How did you like the fixed gear on the 26er compared to a ‘normal‘ 700c fixed? These old mtbs have about the same bb height as a track bike so provided they have horizontal drop outs, they should make for nice fat tyred fixed conversions. But there seem to be hardly any around. Is it because hardly anyone rides fixed these days or does the sluggish/tractor feel of a retro 26er not lend itself to fixed?

10/10 townie, is it fixed gear?
