fixed.
(forum humour).
yes, i might need to get used to this forum humour...
-
look like a nice little start.
try not to spend too much on it though, the cheaper the better, especially if you want to try out the whole silly nonsense that is fixed wheel.
yeah, well the frames free from freecycle, picked up some rims last year (no idea what they are, haven't looked) and am gonna do my best to re-use everything i can although think need new crank and a new chain and some tires and a front brake...
then if it works out nicely and i enjoy the ride, get the frame powder coated perhaps and slowly but surely turn it into a thing of beauty!

this is new, well, first project!
I'm gonna start it this weekend, fingers crossed it goes to plan!

Hello, I joined a while ago but disappeared, I am back once again!
I said before I was about to build up an old peugeout into a fixie but never got round to it but I am determined to do it now!This weekend going down to the local bike shop - Crazy Horse Bikes in Tooting, anyone know if they will be able to help me out?

cheers pinkgotti, yeah i've been reading up about it all for the last week or so and feel i have gathered a fair bit of info from here and other websites, only the frames good to go on the bike i have so i've gotta try n track down everything else i need and hopefully at a low expense!
beers sounds good, i'll get down to one soon enough hopefully!

oh yeah, i'll post a proper picture tomorrow when it gets light, if it helps :)

hi people, first timer here, be gentle...
got one of these: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3005/2610978779_97e4c7ca01.jpg?v=0
but not in that condition at all! i got it free at the end of last summer and the inner tubes are popping out the tyre walls, and its a bit bashed, but the frame seems solid.
i wanna convert it to my first fixie... any one got any experience or some helpful tips? i also dont have much money so if you know of any where thats good to pick up cheap/second hand bits n pieces i'd really appreciate that!cheers
