Welcome

Hi I'm from Bristol, building a Cheap fixie to take to Uni when i go next year (hopefully). I have 4 bikes (MTB, Road, Hybrid, fixie).

well lads and lassies. i'm mark. i can't remember whether i've posted here before, but i have certainly gleaned some on the ball and appreciated advice some time ago when i got into fixed gear riding. i've just moved over from dublin to study in goldsmiths and am looking forward to getting into a bit of group riding/boozing with a few sound individuals.

I think its cool, just was seriously surprised how quick you were. Welcome to the forum.

Thanks fella, Hopefully see you around!

hi there
I am also new to forum - have a little racer bike and looking to buy a fixie in the next couple of months
thanks for all the info on the site

Hi, another n00b here.
Starting to put together a fixed conversion. Bought a nice-looking (to me) frame from about 1960, just realised the significance of 91mm front forks and the popularity, or not, of hubs that fit. Read Sheldon a little bit too late.
And so it goes.

Hi, so what you considering?

Hi, signed up a few weeks ago, and was lurking for a couple of months before that, so thought is was time I got around to posting something. I've been riding SS on a cotic roadrat for the last year and a half, and I'm about to get a new bike and make the move to fixed. Not 100% what I'll be getting yet, so I'll probably be after some advice soon.

Hello everyone.

Been cycling fixed for a while and come across the forum a few times but only just joined. Looking forward to having a dig through.

Hi folks. Im from rotterdam, the netherlands. Relatively new to fixed gear, started riding on an old gazelle track bike just a couple of months ago. really loving it and already looking into getting a second bike! here to soak up knowledge and share love

Welkom Habitual, digging that Gazelle of yours!

hi i'm peter from tilburg, netherlands, addicted to bikes

looking through my old photographs (ahem, august 09) and feeling sorry i sold this. lots of projects going on, will post when i have something nice.

cheers

Hi all -- I've been stopping by the forum every now and again and haven't posted up until now. Before I got back into cycling, I was working as an asphalter for the past 18 years, then had the chance to get a van courier job when the roofing work dried up. Lasted about a month in the van, then another month as a foot courier, then made the transition to cycle. Had a few minor accidents since -- One open car door smash and hit a pedestrian who'd stepped out between buses which ended in a fancy somersault over the bars. Currently riding an old Peugeot beater, but will be getting a black Cotic Roadrat sometime soon.

Hello all, I've been lucky enough to be able to walk to work but moved flat last week and im already sick of the bus!! After talking to a work college about cycling in, She generously let me ride her fixie around the block and after falling in love put me onto this forum. So although I dont have one of my own yet I hope to soon and in the mean time learn more about them!
Cheers Si

Welcome, Si. There are plenty of threads around to help you with your purchase. Have a look at the list of OTPs, for instance.

Hi Oliver, ya i had a quick look at the OTP's but I dont want to be paying over the odds for a bike just beacuse its brand new etc, espically as its my first fixie. Id much rather get use to the style of riding first and gain a better feel for exactly what I would want before I spend the big big bucks. So I'm currently just looking somthing second hand nothing fancy but soild which I can build on. Currently Looking on lfgss:for sale, ebay, gumtree, craigs and was thinking about posting a wanted ad here for a starter bike incase anyone else who had one was looking to up-grade, but any Tips comments welcome. Thanks

Howdy from a newbie. I came across LGSS whilst hunting for a new tent! :)

Seems like a nice site settles down, with slippers and a big mug of cocoa

Hey, why spend big bucks at all? Build your own.

bonjour velo headz.

i found the forum looking for supreme skatedecks! 'JD' on here has them.. i am trying to buy them from him/her but not responding? anyone know the the person.

i have a colango master pista frame, however its in italy being treated, some niggles with the paint work. cant wait to build it... i have a panto chainring, KMC chain, colnago panto stem, campag panto seat post and a selle san marco seat at the moment.

looking for PISTA as new / mint cranks 144 bcd. some bars and some wheels!

anyhow... out of the nursery now... ! cheers!

I have been tempted but due to a lack of tools and know how, I think its better for me to get a complete bike and build on that.

Hello all,

Just joined mainly because I have one specific question to ask (so I will wait the 24 hours then post it in the "bike parts" area!

For now just a quick "Hi!" on here.

You may see me riding around Soho or SE London one of these bikes:

Nez

Greets... looking over the pages for advice on a good SS cyclo. May well go for the Felt Breed, as Evans has a £100 off the 2009.

not new here been lurking for a long while,

Hello.

Yes, another bloody Yank has joined your forum. Please rest assured I shan't be loutish; nor do I plan to dismantle your language.

I may request clarification with some of the slang used, but I'll also try not to be a pest about it.

Cheers
