Just wanted to share my fixed gear built from an old Junior Raleigh Winner originally with 24" wheels.
It was supposed to be built with 650c (571)wheels and 24-571 Tyres, but the rims were incorrectly advertised and ended up being 26" which I only found out after the rims were built.
I am 5'2 and I normally ride 45cm, 700c Road Bike and although this bike is small, this bike works very well for me, solid and quick and by far the most fun being fixed gear.
