Single Speed Bikes for Sale

I have yet to find a single piece of easy to follow good advice on what is good on a cheap start off bike. You all have your heads up your arses ......we cant all afford to travel across the city to your fav LBS and get an off the peg conversion. We cant all spend hours measuring and building or searching for parts we know nothing about.

I DO NOT want to start off on a fixed gear ............. I want to start off on a one gear fast bike.

Just try this .................... "yes, the bikes are OK but" or "are not an ok entry level ride" "get it its a good base bike but change the brakes & heres how" ..........

See, it is so much fncking easier and far more helpful to say that than to post endless crap comments and snobby cut and paste articles

FFS give us newbies a break and some easy to follow help .......................... ?????
well I have said my bit
try to be helpful this time please

Err, Thor, are you serious? I joined this site last year knowing fuck all about bikes, now i've built 3 of my own... this is an absolutely indispensable resource. You do realise there's a search function on this site? I suggest you try typing "help" into it:
help search
That probably has a run-down on everything a beginner needs to know about fixed wheel bikes.

One gear fast bike is a bit of an oxymoron ;)

you shouldn't have to travel across the city to get to your LBS, it stands for local bike shop.

LBS

^again using the search function, a list of local bike shops in the london area. You should be able to find one close to you there (assuming you're in London).

I hate to go against your word, but from that post it seems to me that you haven't really looked that closely at this site. I started out knowing nothing, and used only this site, plus google and sheldon to gain the (limited) knowledge i now have. Plus if you have a specific question about brakes or whatever, for god's sake just ask it! Someone will help you, i'm sure!
