  Well did my first ride on it.
  Hope that I will get more used to it, because it was absolute horror getting up 2 bridges.
  Going down was kind of fun trying to keep up with the pedals.

  I put the bike on the scale and it's 10,7kg which is normal for an old road bicycle I think.

  Had a slight problem with the chain being noisy due to the fact the chain wasn't straight.

  Solution:

  I'm stuck with the same decision about the lever.

  I just bought the cheapest BMX levers on eBay to see if I like a BMX lever
  If I don't like em, well then I wasted 8 pound

  Why are you posting a picture of your bike?
  Either I don't understand it, or you want to hijack my thread?

  I use picasaweb from google
  1) upload picture
  2) Right click picture in album and select "copy image address"
  3) in the thread, click on the mountain icon and select paste
  4) Press enter, done

  Should be the same for photobucket, flicker, ....

  Thats the colour, not really white, but a little pearly.

  Foot retention will be done, just don't know what. I love my SPD pedals on my daily commute, but I don't think it's wise on a fixie when not used to it.

  It will get a front brake, bit need the orde a brake lever. BMX style I think.

  Hi all,

  I'm new to fixed geared bikes and it started about a week ago when my uncle gave me a Koga Miyata Exerciser that he didn't use for the last 10 years.

  After searching what I could do with this bike, I found this forum that gave me a lot (and some really expensive) ideas.
  Since I'm not really sure if fixed gears is really something for me I want to keep it as cheap as possible.

  The bike when I got it (except for the tires, I had those laying around):
  

  Progress untill now:
  

  The paint on the frame is really bad, so it will be resprayed.
  I think plain white would be best, any other ideas???

  Rims are the cheapest I found on eBay, No logo with Kenda tires.
  Chain ring is the standard Shimano 52T
  Cog is 18T.

  3 things to do (at least):

  • Saddle
    
  • Pedals (current pedals are from my Cannondale Bad Boy)
    
  • Refurbish the frame
    
    

  What do you think?

• Names and faces to bikes
