• Hi folks.

    Want to build my first fixie, got already some parts that are at the moment on my OTP fixie (a rubbish one). Want to keep this cheap, as I want to build a beater bike. Not really worried about the appearance of the frame, dents and scratches welcome as they will lower the value. I would like to find

    #Small frame and forks 50cmish, track dropouts well prefered : budget is £100 £125 max.
    #wheelset 700C with fixed hub : £50 £75 max.
    #cheap cheap turbo white : less than a tenner

    Or if anyone have a good whole olde beater that matches me, let me know and I'll play around with it.

    All help and advices appreciated.

    Cheers, Max.

  • bumpy bump. needs this frame ! 51 cm (maybe up to 52) should be okay too. but have to see as my actual one is 50

  • check this thread http://www.lfgss.com/thread73552.html complete bike though

  • Cheers man, just bought a lovely old frame on here yesterday, just need the wheelset or unmatching two wheels and waiting for someone to sold his knackered white turbo :) ( gonna grab another white turbo on Sat from JD on Saturday though )

    Would have been too big for me anyway, I am just 5"6

  • 5"6 you could easier ride a 52cm. I am 5"5 and I ride a 52/52.

  • I ride a bike with TT of 53cm, and when I put drops, I had to put the shortest stem possible to feel comfortable on the bike. inseam rule tells me I should ride 50cm seat tube, even if I tried a bit bigger without major differences. I reckon the size is not the only factor, headtube angle, morphology and personal preferences are important too. but ofc, it wouldnt be 'impossible' for me to ride a 52x52 OTP if I ever found the bargain dreamt-about one. but that is another story :)

  • quite rigth ,the size of the actual frame is important but by far not the most important factor. A friend of mine is of the exact height as me and she has more clearance between her legs when she rides my 52/52.
