hi, a fixed cruiser is my current bike. I took a cheap schwinn beach cruiser frame and refitted everything else with fixie stuff - rims, hubs, cranks, fork, bars
see here
I'm glad because it looks different to everyone else's bike, and I really like the way that the white velocities mimic the look of beach cruiser white wall tyres.
a few things just don't work, like the chainline is about 2mm off, and because i had to use a bottom bracket adapter, the cranks have a tiny tiny bit of wobbling very very very slightly sometimes depending on the temperature!!! but that's the fun of having a bike like this, I am trying to iron out these things (slowly)
she handles fine though despite the weird geometry.
next step I am going to build spinning rims for it. I ride mostly around E2 E8 E9, so hope to maybe see some of you around.
