Welcome

Hi there!

New here, have no fixed gear yet, but soon and will hopefully learn to love it once I've got it - Never had one before.

I'm in the process of moving to Germany soon, so will not have the pleasure to enjoy the potholes here in Glasgow while being fixed...
Wanted to get one before flying over, but too late, so I'm ordering the parts in Germany...

And had to loose my connection whilst trying to add:

I'm generally new to the idea of riding a fixed gear. Haven't got a bike yet, and looking very forward to the fun.

:-)

Hi

I have just moved here from Melbourne Australia

I unfortunately had to sell my road and fixed gear bikes before I left and am now in the market for a second hand fixed or single speed to get me started

If anyone has a bike they are selling hit me up - cheaper the better as money is an issue

P.S big thanks to the guys at Toyo bikes for putting me onto this site, had a great time at your opening last night, all the best

I'm a framebuilder living in Montreal right now. My lady just got accepted to a PhD program, so I am coming to London for a few years. Figured I would join now and try to meet some internet people that I might be able to ride with.

I will be bringing my 650b randonneur frame I built with me and as well as an IRO track frame that I have turned into a franken-cross bike for everyday riding and cross racing.

You might see me asking random questions about which neighborhoods are good to live in, I am coming with my 4 yr old son that is set to start school in September.

Hi guys!

I came spontaneously to the page, so i decided to join the forum and it's pretty cool her ;)

regards from Bremen, Germany

i've cycled in Bremen before, it's nice. bienvenue as they* say in Germany.

*they're french

Hello ladies and gents. Just joined up in an effort to make a little headway on my newest obsession, a Viking framed fixed gear. Much to my dismay those frames are as rare as hen's teeth across the pond here in the states. Waiting out my time in the nursery to prove im not a troll, spammer, petulant child, or other form of forum terrorist. as soon as im allowed to post up some bike porn ill throw up some pics of my past projects.

Cheers!

It's frowned upon to post your own bikes in Bike Porn, even if you have sold it on and is now owned by someone else. I recommend posting in 'Readers' Wives' or 'Names and Faces' threads instead.

Also no need to wait to get out of the nursery period... Only applies if you want to start a new thread not add to an existing one.

im not a troll, spammer, petulant child, or other form of forum terrorist.

Shame, you would have fit in so well otherwise.

I love the use of the words forum terrorist

There have been catchier song titles.

ah, good to know then on the bike porn front of things, ill put my ladies somewhere more respectable than that street corner then.

Hey Biggrigz, can't wait to see pics of your bikes in the porn thread, it's the best place to post pics of your bikes.

He's just stirring...

Popcorn doesn't make itself, you know.

ah, i see what cha did there, hazing. excellent. would yall like movie style? or salted popcorn? im sure ill screw up enough to be entertaining, just hopefully not enough to be annoying.

Newbie here!

Signed up as I fancy building up a retro single speed to pootle about on, commuting and a little bit of relaxed road riding. I'm an MTBer at heart, but have recently been drawn to singlespeeds & old school road bikes.

I don't live in London, but my brother does - that must count for someting!?

I like to pootle...

Hello

I just went on my first fixed gear bike and am hooked, now I'm desperate to build my own and this seems like the place to learn.

Huw

hello, im new since yesterday, been busy possibly annoying people into giving me advice and learning lots about stuff.
anyone on the forum from CHELTENHAM, relatively near oxford and bristol?

Theres a fair few riders in Bristol. Here's their website/forum - http://trackdropouts.com/

I like to pootle...

Yeah, pootling is nice. Once I've mastered that I might move on to ambling.....

Ambling... Oh dear... Does sound hardcore...

Hi,

I just joined the forum as I'd like to build a fixie. I am very tall (6' 6"), and hope to find a large enough frame for sale on here!
