Welcome

Hello everyone, welcome to one of the friendliest and funniest forum around! =)

Loads of love from ho-kay/dot com =)

Hello, I am from Argentina. I have difficulties whith your language. Really.
I guess this is the 'presentations place'.

I've got an user in http://argentinafixedgear.com.ar/ and now I came trying to find some information for my new project: a Roberts road bike. Soon I will up a photo.

Hi Clara, I am doing the same well that's two out the way and only one to go. Cinelli Mash nice choice.

not new on here, but just wanted to say if you see someone on a lime green raleigh rapide with brown leather bar tape and converted to single speed then I'll probably be on it! I usually have a red mission workshop messenger bag on too. Do say hello!

Hullo, new here. I've actually just joined to sell my single speed :(

Hello all! New here as a friend suggested it is a good trusted community to buy/sell bikes.

I am an Australian living in East London and ride a FELT FA with SRAM Force throughout... under 8kg full quipped!... my daily ride is a charge plug single speed... and I have a few other bikes lying about

Hope to get involved with a few weekend rides!

Hey there! I was introduced to the forum by a friend as I'm looking to pick up my first fixie. I live in Brighton and commute up to central London (W1). I ride a road bike down in Brighton (Trek 2.1) and looking to pick up a fixie for commuting between Victoria station and work.

Hi just joined up,basically, spotted a set of wheels in the classifieds and need three posts to reply and this seemed the place to start.

Hello, I'm Chris from Manchester!
I've been reading the forums for a while and have decided to buy my very first single speed bike.
I have a budget of about £300 - £400 so am currently just weighing my options up. I think I'd like to build one but have zero experience in bike maintenance let alone building one. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris.
Welcome.
All the information you'll need to build a bike from nothing is contained in these pages hidden between sarcastic comments from people who should know better. I've got six builds under my belt based on the knowledge I've gleaned. It can be done.
I think you've made a good choice (and most will agree) that if you're prepared to wait and take your time, you'll be able to source most (if not all) of the parts you'll need from the Classifieds and have a better bicycle than something off the peg.
Take photos and keep everyone updated, I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Hi Chris. Welcome to the forum.

Another useful resource for bike maintenance is www.madegood.org. Lots of free videos and guides.

Don't forget to try the polo.

welcome everyone

we love you

Hey guys,
I'm a student at the University of the Arts London and we are planning to create a 3D printed helmet for the Paul Smith brand. We'd be sooo happy if you could help us out buy completing our short survey on cycling/helmets/PaulSmith.

Hello! Moving down to Hastings at the end of the month and will be commuting up to London. Planning to sort something out for some summer coastal rolls as well as pootling around town. Been looking around for something nice second-hand but no joy as yet - might have a crack at building.

Nice idea - see what you can do. The budget will need to be a bit higher than those go karting tops though. Let's get Rapha involved.

Seems like iv been bitten by the fixed gear bug, after a co-worker introduced me- now building my own - Really looking forward to this project- once im underway ill get some pics in the 'projects' section

hey guys,

new to the forum, did have a condor singlespeed recently, now gone though, thought i'd come over and check out the forum here for change.

and if you recognise the username, yes i'm from retrobike, don't know if that's good or bad from your point of view, i know some times there can be inter forum weirdness but i just like bikes, all bikes, fixed, geared, mtb, road, you name it i have it or have had it.

next build is gonna be a urban hub geared belt drive set up, early stages though

hello, cycling from Los Angeles here on a visit for some touring action. Did the some 250miles a few weeks back from Bristol > Wellow > Frome > Four Marks > London to gear up for a trip in Scotland, Inverness to Sheffield basically. I'm leaving May 1st for my trip, but I hope to ride around with some people when I get back. I'll be around until June 4th.

*cyclist, not cycling that's not even possible :-/
kind of tired at the moment.

LA is a long way to ride from, I'm not surprised you're tired.
