this is the frame i'm gonna use

Hello,
I'm Tom, I ride a Surly Cross Check - set up as a SS. Currently umming and arring about whether to 'flip' the hub round and brave it as a fixed gear.

Hi Tom, give it a go, you'll never know until you try if you'll like it. a day or two of getting used to it and you'll either hate it or love it.

Hi I'm Chris - got a SS MTB that never gets ridden and some retro road bikes that need some effort to make then ridable...

Oh.. hai

Ah, pretty close to me - i'm on Goldhawk Road near the Shepherds Bush Green end. I'm sure we'll cross paths at some point!

Bloemfontein Rd here (posh end)

That's three

+1 Give it a go Tom.

Hi everyone!!!

Hey all! Cap here from West Sussex but born in the smoke so maybe that counts for something?

Currently riding a rat single speed MTB and an M3 Brompton and building a retro fixie.

Love the forum, guys!

Cheers.

Newbie saying Hello..

Wavy wooden clad building on Uxbridge road (round corner from Bloemfontein road) 4! Is there a posh end of Bloemfontein road? Or is it a slightly less dodgy end?

Posh is less letters and quicker to say than slightly less dodgy.

Total fixie newbie saying hello. Like the nursery idea more sites should do it. Is there a section or thread I should look at for all the frequently asked stuff to save me posting the same old same old you have all read and answered before. Cheers

Good question, there's a search function that you may find what you're looking for (don't forget to search with different name if there's no result), as well as Sheldon Brown (Google not on the forum).

Followed a recommendation by a friend, joined up. Born in London, used to ride everywhere (work etc.) when I was younger. Had a long break where I didn't have a bike, last year I started looking for a new one. Came across Sheldon Browns website, read about single speed and fixies.. thought I'd go for it. Bought a Marin Dominican (since customised it somewhat.. still working on that :) ). Running it fixed and haven't looked back, even when i got the bottom of my trouser caught in the chain once and it turned one leg into shorts...

I took the hint and just wear shorts now, much better.. I should listen to the bike more often.

Hi just started posting here, been lurking for a while. Currently living up in Glasgow and post on the Glasgow version but making the move back down south to London shortly so thought I might say hello.

Yup - Shepherds Bush, along the Uxbridge Rd. Hope to see you around.

Hey endless (what's your glasgow tag?), did you ever meet to do any glasgow rides? I've just moved down.

hello bikipeople!

I am well aware. My mrs has confiscated all methods of payment from me because we are buying le house so cannot afford meat and mead.
