  Tempted to get a fixed after enjoying some singlespeed road riding but want to try it first. If I use a DMR roller style tensioner which is fixed in place rather than being spring loaded, can I set up my current bike fixed using a disc mount cog. I can't see why not but google tells me I shouldn't albeit there is no explanation as to why not. Thanks in advance.

  Hi guys,

  I've got my old langster for sale since we've moved out of London now and it just sits in the shed. Good bits and bad bits......the frame itself is in good condition with no dents or major scratches to it. It does however have some cable rub round the head tube from the front brake cable and the paint is scuffed on the top tube where i used to lock it up. Wheels - the front is the original, spins freely enough but the braking surface is heavily pitted. The rear is a Condor flip flop sealed bearing hub laced to a mavic open pro. This hasn't seen much use as i replaced it shortly before we moved. Bars, stem and brakes are standard Langster but i've got some cut down Easton flat bars which you can have as well if you want them. There are no brake cables fitted at the moment. Bottom bracket spins fine but is notchy and needs replacing. Cranks are fine, original fit, no problem with rounded tapers.

  Edit: its a 58cm frame

  I work in Chiswick during the week and live down by Guildford so can get the bike to either of those locations.

  I've taken some photos so please email me on steve_main at hotmail dot co dot uk as i don't know how to link them into here.

  Looking for £100 ono.

  Scumbag. Does amaze me what some people use to lock their bikes though. How can you possibly think a thin cable lock will deter a thief?!
