Well I have a couple steel frame mounain bikes that I would like to convert to fixed/single speed.
None of the frames have wheels so was thinking is it cheaper to build the 26 inch wheels or get them pre built? Can I get the single/fixed hub the width of the frame ie can you get different sizes/length of hub so I can build the bikes as single/fixed.
Thank you for the advice

They never put motorbikes or scooters in there, probably because they assume they will win.
But they should. They might be surprised.
My best time from Bethnal Green to Chiswick on a motorcycle is about 45-50 minutes. That includes blasting from Hammersmith up the A4 at the end. add on all the fucking around with locks, helmet, boots and armoured clothes and it's more.
My best time on a pushbike is 40 minutes.Phrases like "we need to regard using the car for short journeys as socially unacceptable" do cyclists no favours whatsoever, and I wish bike campaigners would stop spouting such inflamatory crap. Their cause would be far better served with something like "We need to realise that using the car for short journeys is pretty pointless"
Or its quicker by cycle?
Lambeth did a cycle challenge and the motorbike won, but it was decided that the cyclist won as the press release was already done. But what was most surprising was a runner did it in a few minutes longer than the cyclists and motorbike.
Oh and London don't do this any more as the bus/train seems to come way down the list.

Well I've lurked for a while and thought I'd better join.
Have a few frames, mostly mountain bikes with horizontal drop outs, that I've wanted to convert to either single speed or fixed but have recently obtained a commuter with a strumley archer 3 speed hub. Also have a 4 speed hub that I was going convert to fixed to have a few gears on a fixed bike for novelty value.

You broke the law, no saying its sensible but its a law, you were caught and you were fined.
I don't understand the problem.
And yes I do selectivly rlj when I can see its safe, or safer than stopping.
