or if its too scratched just sell me the frame ;)

Hello,

I am newcomer to fixie world, but I got new racing MTB this spring so I had spare frame to work with. Somehow I figured it will be a fixie. After a lot of browsing web and having hands from right place I built my bike. Riding fixie is sooooo great. Never thought that I can go 22 mph in no matter 20 mph headwind or tailwind. Not possible on regular bike :)

Well, here it is. Everyone is surprised to see MTB based 26" fixie.

Eduards

Surely with your popularity and awesome post count on here a whipround for cheap/free parts could easily be arranged? Might not be pretty but i'm sure it'll do the job.

Bring on the LdnGrrl parts list:

1. Rear wheel with miche single fixed hub, requires 3 spokes replacing, black v(not velocity) rim. Yours for a hi5 and a blue wkd ;)
   
   

Maybe some tyres and other free junk if i bother to look around the house

Heh, I'll take it if you're serious, can't cost that much to fix it?

Eduards, welcome :D Sweet ride, you might get on well with Scott here..

cool looking bike, how does it feel riding fixed over the rough stuff?

Well, no :) I have been to London twice, seen a lot while geocaching, but without my bike. Actually I live abroad, in Ventspils, Latvia. I think London is capital city of fixies so I finally joined your forum after months of just browsing.

of course i'm serious! you're a never ending source of entertainment(in a good way, not being sarky at all) its even got a cog and everything(21t iirc so may need a bigish chainring/swap cog) braking surface is untouched and no dents to the rim.
im sure someone will replace the spokes and true up it for a wkd ;)
def got some tyres you can have that have little or no skid damage - they're breeding in my house i think.

in fact, just buy a crate of wkds, set a date and have a build day.
i smell a list thread a-coming

Sniff, sniff, sniff.

No. Nothing.

welcome to the forum, I think you're right about London!

1. avian influenza
   
   

whats this then? lower case list of topical respiratory illnesses?

Eduards, ever geo-cached Regents Park? There's one that's an absolute ball-ache.

1. pair white/black rubinos with plenty of life left in them
   
2. the clap
   

The clap is not a respiratory illness... unless im doing it wrong.

My other boike with quill stem;

I end up having to move my bike to the old Bianchi, because the quill stem is stuck as there's no way i can take it off as the bolt disintegrated to the point that the allen key can't grip on it;

back to an old friend for now, took a while to put on the wheel as there's almost no clearance for 25c tyres.

Is that the BLB BJ Ed? How long have you had it?

The bike I'm moving the part from is the BLB BJ one, I need to put a hacksaw to the stem as there's no way I can removed it and would be a bit risky riding it with that disintegrated stem

edited: forget to mention that it's only temporary until the stem is sorted.

Thats shit, you've only had it two minutes.

Ed, you get that saddle from TDV?

yes, it's actually quite nice, better than the original Cinelli IMHO.

I was watching that on ebay but forgot to bid, how much?

waits for the cranks
(Mainly the reason why I havent got the pug built up! :P)
