Getting in contact with fixedgearlondon

I'm just about to buy a Fuji Track and had a sudden though that maybe I should contact fixedgearlondon to see what they can offer me. I've emailed them in the past but they've not gotten back to me. Does anyone have a good email contact for them?

I think you've probably just managed it given that a few of the people here live with them and they check out the forum a fair bit too.

Just put your email in your profile here and I'm sure someone will get back to you pretty soon.

Come on down to polo on a sunday.... Andy and DexterFlexter are always popping by.... they'll sort you out..... they arrive about 3ish every sunday

have you been taking notes?!..andrew they have a bit of a waiting list,email andy again and give it a few days.theres some well nice bikes coming out of that house its worth the wait

if they are could someone ask them about a 54cm ish frame. (cheap as chips pref with a bb), I'll be away.

If you go to Cavendish Cycles on New Cavendish Street on Tuesday or Thursday Andy should be there. He's sound as a Pound.

I don't live in London so it's difficult to get anywhere. I'll be down in a few weeks at the weekend but apart from that not for a while.

technically cavendish cycles is at W1W 6YD.
Just went there, Andy is a top bloke indeed. And his 3Rensho is amazing!

Have been trying to get in contact with them myself... if any of you read this, and there are any bikes floating about at the moment, could you send me an email to ben.falcon@googlemail.com? Thanks

aren't 'fixedgearlondon' just some blokes, that throw bikes together? i don't understand why you can't do what they do, for free? it's like they're viewed almost as a real brand. good luck to them though, they're capitalising on people's desperate need to get a fixed gear bike as soon as they can.
Just wait for a frame to come along, on ebay, on the cycling plus/bikeradar forum, in your local free ads, and build it up yourself! it's not difficult.

one of my girl friends got a bike built by them/andy - its really beautiful. she said he is really great its all sooooooo easy. i think if you can do it your self then why not but having some one who really know's what he is doing is good and its all so quick which is all ways a plus when you want to get out ridding.she is now on her bike all the time and loving going fixed so any one who can do that is great to me.

hosepipe and build it up yourself! it's not difficult.

It obviously is, otherwise there would be no market for selling bikes, of any kind.

hosepipe - a brand is exactly what they're after. Those guys are serious and looking to set up a business. Plus they've got all the tools and loads of knowledge.

i think it would be amazing to have a fixed gear london shop - good luck to them i say.hope it happens.

"It obviously is, otherwise there would be no market for selling bikes, of any kind"
but there IS no market ! the vast majority of fixed gear bikes have been put together by their owners because it's so simple and enjoyable. there are only a handful of companies like that about, for a reason. But good luck to them if people want to pay over the odds for a plain 80's roadframe with a powdercoat and toptube pad!
"Plus they've got all the tools and loads of knowledge." for the price you'll get charged for bicycle assembly, you could buy the few simple tools you need. I really don't get it...

"the vast majority of fixed gear bikes have been put together by their owners because it's so simple and enjoyable"

bollocks. yeah a lot of people do, but not the majority, how are BLB doing any business then if there is NO market? why are specialized, fuji, bianchi, surly, lemond (etc.) jumping on the bandwagon and making off the peg fixies, because there's no market? i think not..

it's not hard to understand. If I wanted a second hand bike, I'd build it myself because I ENJOY doing that. It's easy to understand that some people are either not inclined to do that or simply can't be arsed. If you have to spend a day putting your "new" bike together, I'd say for most people on this forum (mostly designers and accountants [haha]), that amounts to about £100+ of your time. If you don't exactly consider putting a bike together an enjoyable activity, it makes sense to get someone else to do it for you!

Then add all the crap that you get from dealing with old bikes (odd chainline issues, weird and seized bottom brackets, messed up threads) and you're very likely to have to splurge some cash at the LBS anyway.

how are BLB doing any business then if there is NO market?

ahh they're just overcharging the few people who actually go there!

• 'twas a joke..
  

.....but i'm not talking about specialised langsters etc Glow, i';m talking about there being no market for companies that will sell you old road frames with cheap bits on! it's fine for these companies to exist, but blo0dy hell, it doesn't take much effort to do exactly what they're doing and you'll save your hard-earned - you'll be doing it yourself, you'll save money, therefore you'll have MORE MONEY for nicer parts!! and therefore HAVE A NICER BIKE! ..
"odd chainline issues, weird and seized bottom brackets, messed up threads" people speak about bike parts like they're some kind of magical mystery..."Plus they've got all the tools and loads of knowledge" !! all the knowledge you'll ever need is 5 seconds away on the net. It's not hard to replace a BB, or sort out a chainline

Yes it is... learning how to make a bike from scratch is a daunting task for lots of people, especially if they dont have lots of spare time.

Or they're lazy.. or they don't have the tools nor want the tools.. or they don't have the space nor the desire to grease up their carpet.. tonnes of reasons.

Space must be a massive factor in Londinium.

Imagine asking The Enemy (one's Mrs):

"Hi love, mind if I spend the next three weeks pulling this old bike apart and putting it back together again in the front room?"

For some, it is worth the extra Oxford scholars to have someone else do it.

I also think that these places do not just knock out complete bikes, but hard to source parts and advice for people that have had a go and are stuck.

if you "don't have lots of spare time" why take up cycling as a hobby ? that's ridiculus. you'll be needing some spare time to cycle your bike!

i've got fishfingers beans and chips for tea.

How many of you own a headset press?
How many of you are happy using a screwdriver to hammer in your £100 Chris King headset?
That's another reason why shops or people who operate like a shop are useful.

Don't have spare time because they're riding all the time..
