Road fixed / fixed road

I do the headset cups upside down thing.

Don’t really know why.

ƃuᴉʞ = smash the patriarchy?

ǝdoH = all hope is gone?

im sorry you've now been branded a poser, this is like being cancelled but aesthetically and not ideologically

Hivemind. I want a fixed gear bike again. What OTS options are there that arnt shit. Criteria being:
. Steel ideally 853 or equivalent w/carbon fork
. Horizontal TT
. mudguard eyelets
. clearance for 32c max
. calliper rim brakes

Failing all that I might just go to Winston.

After a LOT of looking, i've not been able to find anything OTP like this

you've now been branded a poser

Had to happen eventually!

I’m on this wavelength.

But I’m happy with 4130 as cheap....

Heard it as tradition if you buy the headset used

Or when you move the headset from one bike to another

This gets you close. No horizontal top tube and unknown steel.

Reynolds 725. Steel or carbon fork.
Nearly horizontal?
Yes
28c max.
Yes.

Under specification it quite clearly states: Dedacciai SAT 14.5 triple-butted steel

This headtube is even tiny compared to surly's

you cant have horizontal TT and big HT, just looks weird

They've just dropped the TT.

thanks for looking!

Nice! Thanks - I thought They only did a road version.

Most the bikes that match that criteria seem to have a reputation of being a bit heavy/dull to to ride. How about a used Cinelli Vigo steel? Doesn't have a horizontal TT but word is they're very nice to ride and will clear 30/32 front and back. Send it to Winston for some rear eyelets and use p-clips on the front. @yetidamo will tell you how nice they are for a RF base.

When my Dart dies/get nicked i'll be getting one.

Yeah was actually going to post suggesting a steel vig as an option that is close to @Thrasher 's requirements.

It's TT is close to horizontal but does slope slightly. The only real significant deviation from his wish list is lack of guard mounts. Also note that it doesn't have any bottle mounts either.

But it's a fast, fun and agile bike so ticks the main requirements. I think they look great too. I regret selling mine and I'm on the lookout for another.

@edscoble

Winston put reinforced mounts on my Dart which is a similar grade tubing. I'd be looking for a used one, mod it with mounts (dyno routing would be a nice touch) and have it resprayed.

Leave me alone Josh.

Right. Most of mine, though not all, are upside down for one of these two reasons. I'm not a stickler for tradition but it is a cute excuse to play with a weird feature of CK headsets.

Good plan. Keep me updated when it happens. Ta.
