hi all
im pete been riding for many years on geared bikes but got sick of killing gear systems and found that i only really used one or two gears for my riding anyway. so started to ride singal gear never tryed fixed gear. After a nasty motorcycle crash about two and a half years back my right knee is shaged and likes to jump in and out of place on its own, So using my legs as a brake is a no no. I love the style and look of fixie bikes so im going to build a bike in the fixie style but with a free wheel hub and the smallest brake leavers i can find. hope to talk with some like minded people and get some good ideas for my build. thanks pete.
