Welcome

question, hmmm... i want to have a fixed gear bike no to impress anybody just to challenge myself as i see people riding them for quite a few years in london and just fell in love

so how to get one, where to start with a very low budget if you want one, maybe just wait to have saved enough and buy one of them very expensive ones from ebay? or maybe try to convert one on my own? or find someone who could do this for me?

Go here for OTP (Off the Peg) under 500.

Or buy a suitable frame & bits off ebay, build yourself and consult Mr. Sheldon (RIP) as to how
