Ahoy. Yet another forum newb (at least spent a few days reading up and learnin to search before rearing my head).
Don't currently own a fixed/ss but got 2 frames in the works one of which may well end up as my fix training bike.
Current rides:
LHT tourer, only been to brighton and back a few times so far, still further than most hipsters. Note HHSB hip flask holster and bottle opener spacer. Wac but handy. Steerer tube left long cos i'm a tree surgeon and my back gets battered on long rides.
'71 Carlton Corsa freebie. Plastic seat and shit bar wrap job fail. Not my fault, will be sorted in due time. Pretty heavy gaspipe frame but good enough for getting about on.
Current projects:
Early 50's Dayton, possibly an Elite or Kingfisher(waiting for the word from the VCC) Shit 70's refinish will be returned to its former glory at some point next year. Incidentally happens to be one of the first commercially built TIG welded frames. Extra hipster points for being built in Shoreditch.
This is a possible fixed candidate til i can afford the new paintjob. Was also a freebie.
xmas ebay score(yet to arrive)
60's Pennine Marilyn road frame. This will definitely go fixed as it originally had shitloads of pricey campag kit i can't afford drapped all over it.
Both the Dayton and Pennine are supposed to be 5 speeds as well, but that would be retarded so one will go fixed while t'other is restored properly. Will decide which when the Pennine arrives.
Will now STFU and refrain from posting any more pics til i buy a real camera/show progress on the builds.
Camera phone fail.
