why the hell are you unclipping? thats like saying "the day your pants fall down" as though it's a reason to wear suspenders.
cleats worn away / pothole gives you a judder / you jolt for some reason
etc.
it can happen, and malaysians right, a brake can save serious injury -
Cool so there decent then. Whay kinda crank and chain do you have? Its just i wanna build a fixie using a peugeot frame and havent a clue what crank to buy or chain. I no i want 18t on the wheels and 48t on crank.
I have sugino supermaxy cranks 144BCD with a 47T chainring
looks a bit like this, but i think the BCD is different http://bmxmuseum.com/forsale/5980
I paid about £20 for mine off ebay, I personally wouldn't spend too much on really new modern looking cranks. They may not fit the look of the frame, and some would consider it a waste of money if youre putting them on an old peugot frame, but its up to you.
My chainring was 3/32 off the forum for £3 so i had to get 3/32 chain and sprocket to match. The Izumi track chains are really good value, and 3/32 thickness is better if your chainline is a little out. Most singlespeed specific cranks generally use 1/8, but ive had no problems having to use 3/32.

48/18 is a pretty good ratio as a 'ride anything gear' IMOi would advise shopping around for parts that fit the look of your frame, good luck

The paint is pretty knackered to be honest.
honestly thought it was some sort of imitation varnished wood finish from a distance, oops
nice frame all the same -
nefarious, that frame is lovely, has a very interesting finish, what is it?

though shiny would probably looks even better.
shiny things ALWAYS look better! :)

I look like a bit of an idiot spinning like a maniac, ive been wondering it isnt worth it just for the hills
I agree, the 'risers' are rising in the wrong direction
