Fire bike...

No, and the only Omniums (Omnia?) in our family are 80 miles away so I can't take measurements. In round figures, though, the spider is effectively 155mm diameter and aligned about 34mm off the centreline of the bike (41mm chainline less half the ring thickness and the spider thickness), which is conveniently also where the outside face of the BB shell lies, so if you can place a straight edge across the BB shell face and it doesn't hit the chainstay out to about 80mm behind the BB axis, you have a chance.

Just measured by this maths no chance at all of fitting. Does any one know of any one riding omniums who I could ask to get an accurate measure. I want to be sure they won't work before buying something else. Also I won't be crimping my chainstays before any one suggests it

I would...

...punch you in the nose?.... I would.

I would skid out the way on my super low ratio look fixie

I would change the saddle, stem, bars, tyres, seatpost clamp, chainring, chain and pedals then I would tide it

Well, what else would you do with it? It's not legal for racing.

Really? Is it down to bb height?

Fork blade aspect ratio >3:1 makes it illegal for UCI competition.

←Fine for CTT races, though

Ahh. Too much aeroez

UCI stickers are the new NJS.....

consider for one minute that this bike was built around 2006/7. when this was built there was no such thing as a fixed trick bike. there were no charge scissors, no volume cutters et al. This bike was simply built to ride by someone who builds imaginative bikes and loves his retro purple and blue styles.
kids know your roots!

I'll stick to NJS. It's Ninja certification.
