Looking for a large frame & fork for a new fixed project.
Don't really want to spend more than £120.
Track mounts preferred but not necessary.

In a decent condition, don't want to need to respray etc.
Let me know what you have with pics if possible.

I'm in Newcastle/Leeds so it'll need to be posted/delivered.

^ why would you ever do that?

At least 20% of my posts have been relevant.

At least 20% of my posts have been about baby blue fixies.

I'm not going to be able to make it :(

How much for that sexy (baby blue? hehe) bmx posted?

I really don't know. It's just been that way. Haven't had a need but now I thought, I NEED something to do when I'm bored and for gettin to work. Moved to shifts and the buses suck in Glasgow.

My pedals are clicking under load for some reason. I dunno what that means....

Most likely to be your bottom bracket, check for any play in your cranks.

Yea yea I got them sorted, ended up filing the axels down, the frame was just too hard for my files.
Got the rear wheel on now, went down to Recyke earlier, hired a bench out and swapped my sprocket over, bought a new tube and tyre and I was away.
Looking good now but I still need to sort my bottom bracket out. It's got the wobbles again.
Just gotta wait till Nick is in with his Strong-Light crank remover.

Would you say that learning to do track stands are easier to do on a lower gear? I'm struggling and I was wondering if it was down to my 50/14?

I'm looking for a 19tooth sprocket for a fixed hub, need to drop down those GI's.
I fancy a spinny ride, not as spinny as phil's though :P
I know a few who would be interested, I'll point them towards here.

Hi folks.

Started riding my Charge Plug Racer last night and to work this morning. Rude awakening as I've not been on a bike in years.

Been reading the forum a bit in the run up to buying this thing. Thanks for all the free advice I've soaked....

Dave.

Why have you not been on a bike in years?! :O
I haven't been able to ride mine for just under a week and it's killing me!

I ended up filing the threads down simply because my (cheap) files didn't even make a scratch on my frame! All good in the hood now.

I had the same problem with the axel on the fork too but I just took a file to the fork dropouts.
However, there was a lot less to file off the fork. There's a fair amount on the rear dropouts. Plus it's hardened steel. Okay, maybe it's not hardened but it feels like I'm using a nail file on diamonds!

I have the same problem with my new hubs and old frame:

So it's best to file the axel opposed to the frame? Looks like I need to take about 2mm off mine.
Any tips to file down an axel? or just hard graft?

I run a man gear in Newcastle; 50/14.
I wouldn't mind taking it down though, too many stopping/starting/navigating around other drunk uni students hehe

As if you're allowed to use flash at live gigs. All gig's I've been to, flash is banned, ruins the show apparently. Fast glass is the way forward; f3.5 or larger.

Awesome seat.

Try Wilkinsons. My local store have a set for 99p. They do both metric and imperial.
Good old individual keys on a keyring. None of this cheapo fold-out-multitool you can get from poundland.
Obviously you can get good multitools, just not for £1.

fixed

Don't you mean "Fixied"?

Well if the reserve was anywhere near £600 it was never going to be met realistically.

If only I had a baby blue fixie

The perfect solution:

Could try a bit of Fairy liquid, it gets rid of grease pretty well. Not sure how well it'd work on tar but it's worth a try since you'll probably already have some in the kitchen. Doubt it'd do any damage to the paintwork too.

Just upgraded my bike lights so iv got a set of knog frog lights in black for sale.
£8 for the set, anyone fancy it?

How much battery do they have left in them you reckon? A set ie. white led and red led?

the links on that page are dead so I can't really see the method :S
