• #1860
well i have 170mm on my free wheel bike, and have occasionally caught the road if i peddle through a corner, so wanted to try something shorter, maybe I should try to get 160mm? what do most people use on their fixed wheel bikes?

If you're fitting the cranks to an actual track frame, then the BB should be higher to offset this.

hmm... well don't have the frame i'm going to fix up yet, so i'll wait to see what i get.

I'd built a cheap and cheerful fixie, which I've now stripped of parts and hand painted by myself with rattle cans.
It actually looks surprisingly good as it is.

I'm now wishing I had used a nicer/ prettier 531 lightweight frame as a basis, rather than the more agricultural one I've used.
Ideally I'm after a 23" frame.
Which I would get stripped and powder coated professionally of course! -

yeah woody mine seized and i greased it up and it's ok now
Anyone got any silver risers they wanna sell me? to fit a quill stem
-
• #1873
sorry woody just read you've tried everything.....
-
• #1874
to be honest law, this probably wouldn't have been any good for you. don't think its 531 as the seat post is 26.8, but it looks and feels well made and isn't very heavy. To be honest though, I reckon its about 52cm rather than 58cm, so its a bit small for me too, but its a nice frame though. so if anyone else is looking for a 21"-ish (ctc seat tube) frame (no forks), and wants to trade it for another bike part (don't really care what), let me know.

Try some of the weldtite stuff (green can) - sorted a seized stem with it in a few seconds today.
