Correction:

i didn't mean decent as in incredible! I meant as in decent enough. Not about to fall apart. Not a cheap chinese mail order frame.

I don't have much money. I want to play around with a fixed gear bike before i decide whether or not i'd like to ride one more often.

An old frame around 60cm, fixed hub, just a functioning fixed gear bike. Is £100 too little to ask?

I'm sure i could build one for less with a £30 531 frame after some searching on ebay (i've been through a couple of 531 bikes in the past that cost me about that off ebay!- the two i grabbed were too small which is a shame) and an old third hand fixed wheelset, i don't need nitto bars or mavic wheels or a sugino crankset. I want a basic, old parts fixie. I just don't have the time for a project until summer, having exams soon etc.

If anyone has a slightly crappy fixed gear bike they want to get rid of, that didn't cost too much to make, all i was asking was whether you'd give it to me for £100.

God you guys are a bunch of rabid monkey arses.

Behold! Frankumbent!

Saw this cruise up and park outside the office today.

LOVE THIS! Seat looks horribly uncomfortable though.

How strong is that beam? I could imagine that thing snapping right off!

this bike would literally be a GIANT bike. I'd have to jump off it at lights!

Have a frame to spare benjam? I have small amounts of money.

Well I live on tea and lattes. Love them, but 5 shots worth of espresso, over a couple of hours, gives me this feeling of a heavy chest. Rubbish!

Ever have too much and find it hard to breathe?

30th June: Grays Inn Road with Theobalds Road on the hipster highway.

There's two of them on the westbound side of Theobalds pulling anyone who so much as goes over a line.

God I hate that. Especially when there are cars stopped in the advance cycle box. Its like cars have more right to the road or something.

I've been hit by a cabbie before, he wound down his window, said sorry, then sped off faster than I could get his registration. His passengers looked horrified.

what's with all the agro?! I still ride my single speed (and desperately want a fixie that fits my 6 foot 2) but this bike rides so comfortably for the long journeys.

YouTube - Chris on Giant Revive DX going FAST!

29" front wheel and new forks to make it a 'hi-pro' recumbent bike

I could actually cut away the rack at the back and fit a 700C wheel in there, 700C front wheel and new forks.

Find a real giant to ride it as an ironic protest at modern day branding?

I'm pretty tall myself.. hence the back pain. Just find it so hard to find a regular bike that doesn't cause me back pain.

Was thinking of getting the branding off, taking the wheel fairing off, putting some bmx bars & grips on. Modding the seat.

Boombox on rear rack. Surely

I'll provide the 'tainments at polo tournaments...

Was that you coming over Chelsea (?) bridge (could have been one of the bridges either side) last night coming on to the Embankment carrying an orange frame in your right hand?

I 'DAS'ed you because it looked like a track frame but you had headphones on so I'm not sure if your heard.

Either way it was a weird looking bike

Something i'd be doing but it wasn't me!

Nice, you must have hit it in a comfortable* space.
My dooring experiences always include an instinct reaction to dip outta the way, but just end up hitting the metal of the door frame, or even worse, the corner.

I know theres nothing comfortable about hitting a door

Well it twatted my knee a bit and he asked me if I was ok before jumping in an driving off. I rode it off after an hour or so.

I'll just put both on.

missiles, and a drive-through KFC permanently attached

Chicken shop bike is an idea. You could quit work. Fryer powered by dynamo.

You should put a big board on it that say "I'm a twat"

nice

Nice looking bike that...

It is an absolute tank, heavy but easy to ride and fast due to recumbent position. I crashed at about 25mph down hill, as a guy swung his van door open without bothering to look. The bike was completely fine but the van door was almost bent off.

Anyone ever seen me on my Giant Revive? I get a hell of a lot of "LOVE YER BIKE" shouts from cyclists, pedestrians and even a driver who stuck his head out of a window and almost crashed.

(I also have a matt gold single speed)

The 419 letter sounds like a great idea. I'll be a millionnaire in no time!

But seriously, my design is pretty simple. I've seen the NuVinci and that feels a lot more prone to going wrong. I mean the whole friction thing in everything you've linked me to seems a bit silly, especially when it comes to fixies.

Does anyone have experience in getting new designs prototyped/funding for patents?
