  Bad idea? Could I use it for a work hack, then try my hand at track cycling on my days off? Or would I look like a dick with no idea, fucking my bike up, or am I a dick with no idea, answers on a postcard please.

  i was actually looking at a charge stove, but even though theyre listed in the charge website as 09 bikes, i cant find any suppliers. so converting an om flyer is not a good idea then? and by too heavy, what kind of weight?

  still searching for a suitable bike. I spoke gto evans cycles today, who seem to be the only people importing the subrosa malum fixed. its not due in the country till august, which is a bit to long to wait for me.The Surly Steamroller and the Volume creedence are still the frontrunners. However i saw a build over the weekend which was running a 26" mountainbike frame and fork but with 700cc wheels. Which got me thinking, could i do a similar conversion to a se bikes OM flyer http://www.tritoncycles.co.uk/products.php?plid=m10b190s277p5359&z=6221 the clearance to the rear of the the frame looks ok, just not sure about that of the forks. So if anyone has done anything similar, i would be gratefull if you let me know. Cheers again.

  Cheers for all the replies, to answer the questions of tricks, no im not looking to buy a bike to do tricks on. I only want it bombproof because i can be a clumsy fucker, and id like the bike to out last me, or at least be re-weldable, incase the mood takes me to do a truck driver off a double stair set. From my opening Q, I am predominantly a mtb rider, so i have based my choices on brands that i know, volume and subrosa (good bmx's) koxx (amazing trials bikes) bandwagons or not. I want to get a fixed bike for its simplicity, not for tyre clearance on barspins, brooks saddles or mag wheels
