article and video on fixed riding in Atlanta.... rather funny really.

'you only need air in your tires'

they dont exist :(

this guy?

im here for a year at least. so can get this while i wait to find a 58/60 keirin bike, or stump up the cash for a custom.

loads of fixie riders in Kobe, but they all ride 52-56 frames....

58,000 yen.. so £280

so not too bad :)

summer sonic has a much better line up this year .. Devo!!

oh wow, that would be an awesome festival experience. just a shame there arnt any 'better' bands this year.

ive managed to find a 58in in Japan, and its ordered for a test ride.... im 6ft2, so hoping it will be ok. its gonna be the only OTP available till 2009 bikes come out, so i guess ill have to like it!

you in japan then? im down in Kobe

thats handy.. im 6ft2, and have been told 58s would be ok... i should be pushing for a 61 then..... dammit, gonna be even harder to find in japan!

im debating wether to go or not as well! bunch of people i know are going and they are trying to drag me along..

43,000 yen.. and i dont like any of the bands (well, i dont know most of them)... hmmmmmmmm

not that i know anything, but for £600, you can get more of a 'proper' fixed than the skyline.

Surly for example

admitting you like the Langster wont win you many friends here tho :P

then you're definitely asking in the wrong place! ;)

hehe. well. the Fuji track was recommended, and that plan wont work now. So any bike i look at is porn in comparison i guess ;)

Ive allready talked to Rene. The Panasonics are made in my town! (Kobe).. however, they cost they same as the Cannondale!

i just want a bike, im not after bike porn really

ok, so, i still havnt bought a bloody bike. and im back on here with more questions.

im in Japan. and im 6ft2. Having been to 5 different bike shops, (and been told at one im the tallest customer theve ever had)... i cant get a fixed that fits me! ive been looking for a 58cm, and the only 58cm fixed OTP bikes in Japan still in stock are the Cannondale Capo. and there are only 2 of them. There arnt even Langsters or Fuji Tracks.

Soooo. i can buy one, for 140,000yen ( £700) OR i can get a Surly, mailorder from JensonUSA for $700, which after postage comes to about half of the Cannondale.

SO.. so i risk mailorder and import tax for the surly.. or pay a months wages for a Cannondale. i just want a bike!!!

ive got a pretty much brand new WTP 4-seasons ill sell. its not black, but very dark grey, with black componants. 2007 model that ive never really ridden. It was an insurance replacement.

Pm if interested :)

its basicly this, but black to grey instead of red

is postage included in the £12.. just curious

nothing as exciting as any of the above. But a m8 of mine used to screw in the little jobbie on his brake leavers, so the brakes were fully on. No idea if that put off any 'teaves, but, well, its an idea.

Esher (in Surrey) when im home.. but im in Japan for a year :)
