Wanted Fixed / Single Speed Bike

to suit 5ft10. Looking for cool retro commuter.

..

before the hordes descend and cry out for the burnin…

Dan, you need to be loads more specific about budget etc. your request is a bit like going into a clothes shop and shouting I want a shirt :^]

To be honest there's very few pop up on the actual forum so you may be better off looking for an off the peg bike [search 'OTP' for a list of available bikes, their cost and what people think of them]

If you go down the ebay route then you'll get plenty advice

peace

get the guns.

and the pitchforks, let us not forget the pitchforks

Someting like this could be pretty cool...http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=330240204682&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=014 it is a single speed but could be converted to a fixed wheel with a new back wheel???

thanks for the warm welcome. The reason I haven't gone into too much detail is because I am open to suggestions. In terms of budget £500 down. Oh and I also need a shirt so if anyone has one they want to sell?

single speed with front brake only ... seems like an oversight.

when do we get to eatin the body? Tynan hasn't been fed for weeks…

are you guys not trying to promote fixed / single riding instead of shooting a newbie down in flames??

it's alright - it's just a forum joke - stay with it for a bit and someone might offer you a bike. you didn't say hello or nuffink.

The latter is much more entertaining!

shooting newbies down in flames is the sole purpose of internet forums.

isn't it?

Hazing is all part of the initiation round here . . . especially as you used the words cool, retro and commuter in your first post . . . welcome to the madhouse.

me petulant. haha . pot kettle!

Actually . . that Gazelle is fucking nice . . . i would advise searching around the forums, as this is probably the greatest fixed/ss database on the net, get a feel for what you like . . your original criteria is far to vague.

buy the bike, or instead go and get a charge plug and rue the day you let a perfect gazelle slip through your greasy little fingers.
