Aberdeen riders?

I'm another future Aberdeen fixed rider. Got a frame on its way so will hopefully be cruising around town sometime next week!

Welcome mate - what you building?

Got this http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k416/route9987/ff5.jpgon it's way & some Alien Deep Vs to stick on it. Have an old bmx at home so looking at getting a Euro BB conversion and using my Profile cranks too. I've various plans for this bike but I'll just have to wait and see what fits from my bits in the shed!

sorry to be reallly nosy or demanding, but once more:
Where to get a fixed hub from?

The badminton racket shop.

Track hub?

lol
the question i was after, but clearly didnt make myself clear, was that is there any shops in aberdeen which sell flipflop or track hubs?
Im just curious cos id want to know how long itll take me to get a fixie together.

Edinburgh Bikes say they've got these in stock http://www.edinburghbicycle.com/ebwPNLqrymode.a4p?f%5FProductID=9495&f%5FSupersetQRY=Khubs&f%5FSortOrderID=%2D1&f%5Fbct=

But you'll probs have to go in and order them as they'll be in their depot. On the plus side they'll build them too but they're not cheap.

They also do the System Ex track hubs which are more than good enough IMO

I couldn't work out if they had sealed bearings?

Did I see someone else riding a light blue singlespeed / fixed this morning at 8.45 turning off schoolhill onto the street with the taxi rank and 99 on it? I just caught a glimpse on my way to work.

Any of you guys playing polo yet? Tournament in Edinburgh on the 27th if you are interested. Get in contact and we can sort out accommodation etc. It should finish in time for you to get a train back home.

I know of one guy from Aberdeen called Craig, living in Glasgow now, who wants to come along to play and would represent Aberdeen, just need a couple more. Any takers?

Not to my knowledge. If anyone knows differently, share the wealth.

I've asked around but no-one has heard of anyone playing Bike Polo in B'Deen. But we should!

Any of you guys want to come down for the tournament on the 27th? It will be a good laugh, nothing too serious so dont worry about abilities and all that. Also, it will be a good opportunity for yous to me folk from Edinburgh and Glasgow, riding fixed, all sound c*nts.

As I said before, there is already a guy from Aberdeen wanting to play, so a couple can hook up with him to make a team. The more the merrier.

yeah, you guys should make a team and come down. we have plenty of mallets you can borrow, so just hook up a low gear ratio and come have fun! or if only a couple want to play we could make a scratch team of edinburgh+aberdeen, as we have a couple more people might want to play but not in a team.

I saw a daccordi with a track hub by belmontstreet locked up high to a gate and two fixies by little belmont street other with a flip flop (light blue bike) and the other was a brownish red colnago with drop bars. Whats special with this area?

oH, and i also saw a guy driving by union street with a dark blue fixie. is stopped him, and he seemed glad i noticed he was driving a fixie...

I saw the Colnago again yesterday and a fixie skidder blue bike with risers and white Araya rims on Belmont - possibly an Onza? - the guy with the Daccordi I have spoken to - he locks that up on the railings outside Slains Castle on Belmont.

I've noticed the fuji track sitting at the belmont racks a few times. The Colnago's mine.

^ cool nice ride

you aberdeen lads should come down to glasgow for a wee ride and a sesh one time if we ever get round to putting on an alleycat again? and are you entering a team in the polo comp edinburgh have planned?

is there any place where you guys group up?
like facebook or smthng... dyou go riding together? what are the becycle thursday night rides like?
anything?

im talking about aberdeen fixies or s-speeds

My bike was parked briefly on the corner of slains briefly too. Saw another guy riding a white / black fade single speed with a really slack chain and a spoon saddle outside alpine bikes and nipping down schoolhill. The daccordi is fucking sick, has the guy got new bars for it?

The reason I was there is because friday is lunch from Beautiful Mountain day!

@Sinkula - I think the BeCycle people had a Thurs night ride going on, which was for all, not just fixed/SS, but not sure if they are still happening? They have a blog/FB page. You wanna start a FB group for Aberdeen fixed or shall I?!

Sure, i can start a group, or maybe you should actually -i just came to aberdeen.
I was at becycle workshop today putting together a bike. i didnt get it ready as I managed to break stuff and be generally just abit lost. well, ill get it ready on wednesday, a single speed that is.
and i saw you there, with your fuji, who ever you are.

are you others up to creating a group???

pablo laune -just add me on fbook
