You're in the wrong thread. You should do that in the Nursery.

Hi all, I've been on here for a few weeks now too, just in the middle of building up a fixed 1979 Raleigh frame, blue in colour, pink pedals, and the shortest bars I've ever had.... See you all at Critical Mass for it's first proper outing, looking forward to meeting a few of you guys and gals....

G....

Hello all,

I'm new to the whole fixed gear thing, did my first longer cycle on my fixie today and loved it. Looking forward to getting flamed on here and falling off out there ;)

Hello - loving the forum and the t-shirt designs. I am a roadie scumbag and a DH mountain biker who rides a langster fixie to work. Am scouring the threads waiting for the perfect vintage frame to come my way... being patient.

allo everyone,

long-time rider.. just found this place and everyone seems really cool & there is so much info.

some awesome bike porn too.. im in the middle of updating my bike for the upcoming summer. wheels,crankset and a lick of paint. Are argos still the best for painting frames?

Hi,

And thanks!

Found the site a few weeks ago, been riding single speed a couple of years ...

Your single speed MTB is way nicer than mine.

Price inquiry.. Any suggestions of how much this original Motobecane Track(from the latter 80's probably) is worth? Tubular tyres. Frame size 52cm.

Hi! i've been on the forum for about three weeks now, its one of the most distracting sites on the internet! i've been riding fixed for about 6 months now and cant get enough of it!
Thanks for the helpful information i've got so far!

Great site. Keep posting.

Hi im massively new, and looking for vertical drop out, raleigh vitesse style advice to get my fixie on. at the moment its just bodged with zero style and with so many variant want to get a fixie and free wheel set going but need to pointers on components.

Just impulsively bought a Raleigh Equipe frame for very cheap, most probably because it's very shit and heavy, but it has horizontal dropouts and that's a start. Looking forward to having my first fixed experience soon. Once i get some other cheap parts.

And i guess this is the part where i get told why that frame was so cheap...

hello all
i am trying to get a fixie for my commute to and from work, i currently ride a mountain bike the 12/14 miles a day.
Today i was riding near to my house and i found a dumped bike which i am trying to ID, I asked the guy whose garden it was in if it was his and he said it had been dumped there a while back so i took it home, the badge on the front is shown below, Thanks in advance ..

also, just wanna say hi as i now own my first fixie ... Just got it off of eBay .. i am well pleased. :-)
Hopefully it'll be a nice commuter bike and help with my fitness.

Fit a brake. Have fun.

thanks yeah i asked him to put a brake on it, i dont want to die on my first outing!

and so it may end

And so it begins...

You're so pished you don't realise he's not called VB any more, do you?

Hi there, am new to the site, liking it so far, some beautiful bikes. i seem to collect bikes but never had a single speed, so am building one up now. photos to follow. any advice welcome. cheers

Can newcomers to LFGSS upload their pictures?.I saw a post on here somewhere telling you how to do it.Have tried search but nothing.

Hi, new to the forum. Had a Specialized Tricross single speed for a little while but last night swapped the freewheel for a fixed sprocket. Loving it! Great for my commute in bike-friendly, flat Hamburg but not sure how it'll be back on the hilly Isle of Wight...

Been lurking for a while, great forum information is saving hours of frustration,

I know utfs!

Another new guy.
Ex BMXer from the 90's when bikes wer solid heavy things with small bars, Harrow skate park was my local :).
Was riding a hybrid GT that I hated, it had shitty bouncy suspension and noisy clatering gears but I got it cheap of ebay and it got me to work but I needed something a bit more fun.
Got myself a Fuji Track 08 after reading up on here, changed the bars to some cheap dmr things stem to a bmx DK stem, got some shimano SX pedels with home made straps (wanted some old DX pedels but couldnt find any) and riding 48 18 fixed.
Maybe some new wheels next then maybe a FMB Sword.
Anyway here are some pics.
My Fuji

My 2000 ish S&M next gen dirt bike being rebuilt (at this rate for next summer)

And one of these for when I cant be bothered to cycle.. yeah I know boooooo

No questions at the mo, search function works just fine.
