Off-road / gravel / mud fixed-gear bikes (whisper: tracklocross)

Yes - good thread! Love your Dolan.

He’s not on here but you should all check out stu_86 on Instagram. He’s just finished fabricating this, a fixed drop bar thing that’ll have clearance for 2.2’s. Should be fitting for this thread once built up.

Haha I was gonna message you or Stu and ask for his library of fixed gear off road bikes, he alone could flesh this thread out nicely!

Giving the people what they want! This has the potential to become my favorite thread

Would be 5 pages worth at least, haha!

Dirty Reiver fixed was well good.

Traipsing through the Edinburgh lots assortment of steamrollers and various other bikes for this thread was going to be a primary source of material for this thread!

Neat! What is the white range for Montana?

dave nice tour divide bike

It’s like a cheaper range I think.

Normal pressure cans. Not sure if the colour range is the same or what.

My old steamroller. Don't have it anymore sadly.

A few of mine that saw trail duty over the years. Fixed offroad is an outstanding good time.

This was really good fun.

This was a few years earlier, photo taken on what I think was a 5mp camera

Cheers - it's an old BLB Track frame that I've filed the seat stay bridge down just enough to get a larger tyre in, teamed with a Temple Cycles Adventure Disc fork. Needs a matching wheel set and probably cut the bridge out.

Think this might be my new fave thread

Nice! I love little changes like that to get a frame to do something completely different.

This is my take of this concept. I installed 35mm gravel king after this picture but thanks to Corona virus i rode it 0 meter :(

I can get behind this thread. From a few years ago. This was way more fun than it had any right to be. Skidding was hilarious fun, but rinsed rubber.

A few of mine from the past that have seen good trail time.

My All City Big Block with 32c slightly knobbly tyres is great off road

I have my old steel CX frame with a snapped fork. I have pretty much everything else to build up a SSCX / fixed frame... just need a cheap 1” threaded CX fork. Oh, and the desire to ride a fixed ‘cross bike. One day maybe.

I'm also on the lookout for a cheap threaded 1 inch CX fork! I think good luck to both of us to be honest

They're not "nice" steel or anything but there's plenty of Dutch-style bikes with 1" headsets, good clearance and canti/V brakes which could be a donor

What exactly do you mean? Could you show me an example?

Genesis Day One fixed conversion, 38c tyres and luggage box.
Loves dirt, hence never clean.

This monstrosity is mine

This kind of bike. If you look in some bike recycling places they might have a similar fork sat around. Usually will clear 30+mm easily and have a massive steerer that can be chopped down.

Sand down, spray it black, no one will give it a second glance. But it'll weigh a ton and be made from cheap steel.
