I built up a fixed gear from a Cannondale 1FG frame a little while ago, joined the forum and was happy to show my new creation off.
I was extremely impressed that I did not then get a thermonuclear level of flaming due to my fixed gear having (in no particular order) a front (disc) brake, a mountain bike frame, front suspension, Continental Tyres (thank you Hippy...).
Then it got nicked.
Now I have been looking for some time at the usual sources, waiting for that perfect frame to come up for the HHSB build, and what do you know?
Another 1FG frame in L has just come up.
So- do I build Hippo II, "The Return", or do I go for brand spanking new?
I'm thinking 1FG frame, Pace RC31 fork etc etc if anyone knows vintage (i.e. 10 years ago) mountain bikes.
Looking at Pace RC41's as they are on the bay at the moment.
Always wanted a Pace- could never afford one back in the 90's!

Formatting Help
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
