Welcome

Hey, new on forum here, was looking for a hybrid first, but then by misstake (or sheer luck) i found Fixie/ss bikes and was hooked, so hooked that i have started to ignore the snow that before used to take up all my spare time(I live in swedens biggest ski resort).
After searching the web for a swedish Fixie/SS site, all searches i tried lead me to lfgss, so it felt natural to join up.

If anyone has any tips for a new kid on the block, PM some threads that are a must.
And whats best? buy a built bike or learn by building from scratch.
And what frames are good for heavy (110kg) beginners?

Spanners at the ready...

This forum's motto.

Hello,

Let's try to see if you guy's from London have a better knowledge on Rudge bike that us french:

We all know this beautiful lady, but have you any idea about her bike?

There is the Rudge logo on the Seatpost tube but we don't have any other info.
Any idea?

Thanks!

Hi All, just joined after watching from afar for a little while. A treasure trove of info for the noob! Thanks guys.

Hi, I'm also new on here (hope this is the right thread!). I live in Sheffield but AFAIK we don't have much of a singlespeed community what with all the hills.

I thought I'd give the singlespeed thing a try a couple of years back when I realised my 14-speed hack bike, 21-speed hybrid and 21-speed street-tyred MTB were all fulfilling somewhat overlapping roles. I also liked the idea of something low-maintenance, so £18 later, off came the block, on went the singlespeed freewheel and off I went.

Needless to say I've pulled it apart since - a cracked dropout prompted me to make the move to track ends - and I should have it back together any month now ;-)

We all know this beautiful lady

I don't. She needs a bike with a lower BB though, IMHO ;-)

Look forward to much constructive discussion, and meanwhile, ride safe and all that...

Hi! I'm from Portugal and I've been reading this forum for awhile, but only posted once. I'm building a fixie, so any help would be welcome.

Didn't know where to post, so posted here. Sorry if that naughty!

Just wondering how much you people think this is worth? It's A Dolan Track Champion frame stickered up as a Graham Weigh btw.

My 1st post been lurking for a while...

Czech alcoholic here, so please be gentle.

cheers

first post. been looking at this for a while.

got a question does anyone know of good first fixed gear for £150 - 200?

you won't get a decent otp for that much only some shit heap Create thing. Best way is build your own or buy second hand complete bike, lots come up on here in that price range like this for example http://www.lfgss.com/thread38322.html#post1228827

Use the search function and watch the classifieds and you'll find all you need to know
