Hi everyone, I'm new here obviously.... just got an old road bike to refurb and make into fixie! Any advice welcome :)

Page 99,im honoured. ;-)

Good evening, joined last night, thinking of buying a fixed wheel bike as I like the look of them being so minimal, after some advice once I have jumped through the posting hoops.

Really enjoy my fixie,have done 5000+ miles on it now,but im not new to fixies as I first rode one in the mid 1990's.Great bikes with great control.Im definitely fitter using one and have been racing the kids recently.

Bonjour!

I have been procrastinating to a friend in Bristol for a year or so now, that I would convert an old Coventry Eagle frame form the 80's into a single speed, to use whilst I'm living in London for a few months. I like the idea of no gears, so I'm looking for advice on where to start, what and how to do it.

Cheers

lloydzilla!

just \ask aawy!

I have this bike:

Old Cov Eagle, running a 10 speed set-up, (5x2), I have been riding it round E14 in a single speed for a few weeks and its fine, however I would rather remove the problem of gear mech, however I have no idea where to start?

I have a problem with the rear wheel in that the dish is not centering the wheel. IT runs true, but 1.5cm to the left as you look for the rear.

I am picking up a 700c wheel at the weekend with a deore hub/cassette, so what can I do to get this running single? Is it just something like this:

plus a chain, or do I need something else? the drop outs are horizontal, or near as damn it.

Cheers

Not sure how to edit posts, otherwise I'd have put these in the original.

You can't edit posts while in nursery apparently.

Hi all, Just built up my first ss, will be giving fixed a proper go soon. Are pedal straps a must in your guys opinion? Cheers.

Hi! Another spaniard!! ;) Riding a Modolo track frame with Campagnolo rims and Miche Pistard hubs (fix/SS)

50x18t SS

^^straps or clips or cleats, some form of foot retention. in my opinion (my correct opinion).

You can ride fixed without foot retention; if you don't mind reducing your shins to bloody stumps by repeatedly smashing them against the pedals. I mean the choice is all yours, but to do anything else is stupid.

Morning all, brand new here and know nowt about the singlespeed world. Riding a Maurice but with most of my own bits on it. Saw the polo at the Bike Show and fancy a go, so will be looking into that, and hopefully going on a few rides etc.

Hi all,

I actually live in Japan now (but I am British) but this seems to be about the best FG forum around, so here I am. Only got into FG since coming here but it's a blast and I commute by bike every day now.

FG bike, Chrome bag, I know I know... Hey, it works for me!

hey all just joined this morning and really liking the new layout from the one years back. looking fresh as ever! Looking to buy a nice wheel set hopefully :)

Hi there, just joined the forum and thought that I would say Hi and try to post a picture of My Carpenter Fixie, but dont know how to attach the picture.

I also have a project on the go at the mo, a hand build Alec Bird Fixie frame thats being spruced up by Colour Tech.
Again I'm new and have to do three posts till I can start my own thread.

Any pointers to add images. (I think that I may of just worked it out !)

Cheers
Jon

Hi, I thought about selling my bike a long time ago now but financial decisions have pushed me into having to actually doing it! I really need a guidance as to how much my bike is worth and am hoping I am posting in the right place, please redirect me if this is incorrect! Here is my bike and appreciate any guide prices that I should put my bike on as just because I would be gutted if I sold it for completely the wrong price/likewise wouldnt want to put it on at too higher price.

The bike has:

sugino 75 njs cranks*
campagnolo bottom bracket
campagnolo internaz vintage seatpost with aerodynamic fluted section
campagnolo front hub
Front wheel has aerodynamic spokes 24 inches - mavic gl330 sprint rim - tubular tyre but all 24 inch front wheels are so not a problem
charge real fixed gear wheel with a flip flop hub, 700c*
nitto pearl 8 stem
long white handlebar wraps
french*berthet lyothardpedals with njs clips and white straps - no toe overlap
selle italia white saddle
Diatech gold finger front break
