Wanted: Intro fixed for newbie...

hey all, im on the look for a basic fixed gear - nothing too fancy - just want to get started. I'm looking on ebay, but are there any second-hand shops in London or other sites?

cheers

no second hand shops per se, more like independent sellers who sell parts. You have any experience building bikes or know anyone that can?

whats you're budget?

whats your search function?

you want to get yourself down to London Transport -the capitals coolest, blingest, italianist bike shop

I've got a Peugeot frame and foks 56-57cm grey and orange with new BB and Headset £50

i think that's exactly the same as the old racer i picked up last to begin m first fixie convertion. how long did it take you to convert it?
Claire :)

I've got one of them frames (but white and blue) in the garage begging to be done.

A good way to start is to ride a bike already, the rest will fall into place.

Ah that's cheating!

Damn it, poirot got me :D

If anyone is after a Dolan track/fixed bike then I have one to sell and will start a thread once I have made 5 posts and 48hrs have past!

Cheers

Just to jump on the whole newbie band wagon, is this a bad idea? :

remember: the search function is your friend.

welcome to the forum.

yeah i was looking at that one, but it seems to only come in a 61 cm and i am but 5'9''to 5'10'' and i should look harder on the forum, that is where i found that bike, but there are probably reviews about it, i have been looking for anything on the Schiwinn Cutter but i havent found out if its out yet or where in london one can pick one up, thanks
