Road fixed / fixed road

oof yeah i like. Wonder what the hub is? through axle with fixed threads and a disc mount

Paul components makes one.. Even one with boost spacing!

I've made a couple of changes to the build and it could use a slightly better photo, but here's mine.

Oh my god, that is lovely.

Interesting, is the frame split anywhere?

It is, at the track end.

That’s such a tidy solution

That's very nice and different. Surely it's fairly light weight?

I'm not quite sure if I understood how this works. Are the stays only held together by 3 bolts and the dropout plate?

Does it skid?

Massive saddle to bar drop! Are the bars not touching the wheel when you corner?

There is a vertical bolt not shown in the drawing which passes through the lower part, then the jigsaw piece, then the upper part and finally into a barrel nut set in the upper part.

:/ hmm, all my bikes the wheel turns with the bars? :D :D

Still looking fresh after 333kms!

Thanks for clearing up! I was starting to question Schindelhauer and wonder how none of the frames failed yet

I'm returning to the world of fixed, having just picked up a Ti Burls frame.

I need some advice/recommendations on crankset if possible. The BB shell is BSA68 I believe and currently holds a Shimano RS500 BB. When I last had a fixed I ran Sugino 75's and had no issues with them, but wondering what else I should be looking at. Price is a factor here as realistically this isn't going to be my main ride, but I want a crankset that is well made, ideally silver and if compatible with hollow tech BB's that would be a bonus.

Cheers

If you want to look like you're racing, use any road crank and move the sprocket outboard 5mm from typical track alignment to fix the chain line at about 47mm.

For a commuter bike, the Alfine FC-S501 crank gives a 42.7mm chain line which is close enough to common track spec along with a guard to keep your socks clean.

And often available for cheap on Ebay as (surprisingly I might add) there's little demand for them.

Finally got some festive miles in this morning. Glad there was no ice and only limited road filth. Got a couple of acknowledgments for my fixed efforts. Wish I'd gone for a 19t for Crocknorth. Was almost a short stroll.

Seventeen years and four stone ago, a lot of things were easier, I was certainly a lot worse later on, strapped up my right Achilles after 850km and got back on will power and Ibuprofen :)
this was taken on the last night at 1000km

I used a da7800 crank on my dolan (upthread) and thought it looked good. A little chainline shuffling but nothing too bad.

Looking great!

I've had success with DA 7400 cranks and a 103mm BB. Not hollowtech, but it works
