favourite inappropriate use of "fixie" in an ebay listing so far this week:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Peugot-Prestige-Racer-Track-Fixie-Retro-Original-1980s_W0QQitemZ120451106507QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Bikes_GL?hash=item1c0b7206cb&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C72%3A1688%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50
and I quote:
This auction is for a Peugeot racer that i bought 6 months ago. It was the start of a fixie project, but i since got a good deal on a complete off a mate. All you would need to do is buy a rear fixed wheel and a frame with horizontal drop outs and you would have an awesome machine."
If I'm not mistaken the seller is telling us all you need to buy is this old racer with vert. dropouts, and another frame with horizontal dropouts...
great starter fixie project then! (oh and he's clearly not keen on magic gear either...)
