I finished this bike a week ago and love it - had a few good spins and it's really comfy and handles terrain well if you want a off-road fixed - I hit some not too techinical singletrack on saturday and had a blast in the mud.
HOWEVER
I've deided to go all Zen ad strip back my collection to one proper rat bike (really good but rough looking components) and be happy with that.
so this is up for grabs for a reasonable price (I'm not that zen!) - I appreciate it's not to everyones taste so if I cant shift it then it's not the end of the world.
It's a custom (Argos MOD standard) Single speed frame (dropouts etc. courtesy of Freshtripe) - because of it's geometry it's a little confusing but it fits me PERFECTLY and I normally ride a 54 x 54 c-t-c track frame (that's luckily exactly what a cyclefit prescribed too). I had the rear brake bosses removed to make the frame look a little cleaner too.
Thorn Crankset with Funn 40t BMX chainring - drivetrain is 3/32"
Shimano BB
NS Bikes red single speed rear on mavic 317 rims - 16t bolt on cog from velosolo
Black Hope Pro front hub on mavic 317's - both with DT swiss Black spokes
Pig Dowhill Pro headset
Atomlab BMX stem and 2" risers cut down to 480mm
Michelin Country Rock Tyres - grate for road and dirt... not so much the mud.
Other stuff... That's not a white chain, just the camera flash.
Whole Bike
Rides great, chainline perfect and adjustable @ 46mm
I'd like to make back most of the money for the frame and wheels - so I'm asking £450 posted (or collect in Manchester) but will discuss offers. Like I said, maybe a bit niche for everyone but if you fancy and off road/ winter machine the it's here.
Cheers
