What a babe!

Not bad. This or Hippy's stickers.

dont listen to them, if you like it then that's what matters. It's very satisfying finishing your first build.

this isn't aimed at you, but everyone who does it, what's the deal with different wheels on the front and back? It annoys me that my beater has different wheels, on my good bike I'd want matching wheels for sure

by the way, if anyone has a 32 hole mavic MA-40 going, let me know

Hey Plastic Pedals, I have the same rims front and back... but in different colours. And I chose it that way.

Annoyed?

....this isn't aimed at you, but everyone who does it, what's the deal with different wheels on the front and back?

Cuz itz sick init!

.... seriously tho I think it comes from couriers fixxxin up old road bikes and just changing the rear bc its the only one you need to change...

...since then it has moved to the mainstream and is more a nod to fixieings cultural routes than anything else (bc if you can spend £100+ on cranks/hubs/etc you can afford to match your rims).

NB. [BTW all of this is fact not opinion so you can't disagree]

king skin?---------

well spotted. Bike explained.

A theif broke my sexy back wheel :(
should look at getting it fixed. need the money, and its not as bad as i thought so thats why I ride around on a super cheap rear and a slightly expensive front...
you asked.

I'm gonna swap Spastic Pedal's wheels in the night.

**29" mtb front.

Camapag Disc rear.

Good idea... max grip for the front and keeping it slim on the rear for maximum skidz...

...might try it myself...

...when I actually have a fg to fuckin ride!

thanks for the laughs guys! Newbie member here but will defo have to pluck up some more courage before posting a pic of my first (and even the second) fixie build!

We'll only laugh at you if you create a dedicated thread to it and call it a 'babe'...

Post it in the 'Current Projects' thread :)

I think this is probably my first sincerely negative post on the forum

That bike is proper wank

worth £280 apparently...

This raises a question what did government add to the drinking water this week?

worth £280 apparently...

Restored Raleigh Team Road bike converted to a fixed gear.

Every part of the this bike is brand new, other than this rare frame. All parts were professionally fitted by a bike technician. All parts are top of the range.

Why buy a cheap imitation fixie when you can ride a rare and amazing quality Raleigh Reynolds 531..*

The size of the bike is 56cm which fits approx 5ft 6 to 6ft 2"

Don't hesitate to email me any questions.

Payment must be made within one day at end of Auction.

BIKE MUST BE PICKED UP SATURDAY 7th NOVEMBER OR SUNDAY 8th NOVEMBER

                                          OR

IT WILL BE SENT OUT VIA COURIER ON MONDAY THE 9th NOVEMBER

That´s the price you pay for having a bike "professionally fitted by a bike technician"... imagine if a bike mechanic had done the job!

*WoWzers

6 foot 2 on a 56cm frame... hmmm I don't think so.

6 foot 2 on a 56cm frame... hmmm I don't think so.

With bullhorns, that sounds quite big. I'm 6'1" and ride a 53cm frame for time trials. With drops, a 56cm fits me perfectly.

This needs to be posted just once more I feel...

@ MT - are you serious...? fair enough, never done any TT, I was thinking more along the day-to-day bike fit, I'm only 6'1" and would feel a bit cramped on anything less than 59cm. Horses for courses I gess.

Have you got a short torso?

WAC!

I've just sharted

It does seem to be a good time for eBay at the moment. A few things I have sold recently (bass related rather than bike) have gone for far more than they were worth.

Either that recession thing is over or it has just mentally affected people...

"Every part of the this bike is brand new, other than this rare frame."

Yeah, they are like a gold dust...
