I paid £100.

I do plan on upgrading/updating parts but as a student, I'm pretty skint.

Alright, here it is:

I'm putting more detailed pics on my lfgss photo album too.

Is there any current thread that's like "I'm a noob. How much is my bike worth?"

I wouldn't mind seeing how much mine would be valued at. I bought it pretty blindly, not really aware of the quality/make of parts. So I'd like to know if I got a good deal or got ripped off or not.

I'll high five you for it.

Saw someone heading out of Morrisons in Byker on a Kona Paddy Wagon this afternoon around 5.30.

Chain wheel and sprocket size?

Britain needs a national no-car day. It'd be amazing!

Looks sweet btw, you did a stellar job.

How much did it cost you overall in time and mhoney?

Now that it's been sold, can you tell me how you cleaned it up?
What did you use? Metal polish?
I need some chrome cleaning tips.

Does it take clinchers?
With tube n tire? :)

What is it that you are trying to find out about the frame? Where this frame came from the people don't even have names.

I should add that I like the bike and it dates from about my youth, spent in the place where it was made. If I can make you hate it enough I will buy it from you.

Just when people ask what bike I have, all I can say is that it's a Carlton. I'd just like to have a frame model to go with that but it doesn't really matter.

Here it is with the chain tension and bars sorted.

I'm just looking for new wheels now because the current ones are running tubs and the front one has a slow puncture :(
As I'm just riding on the streets I think it'd be a good idea to change to clincher rims.

Don't mean to hijack the thread but did I see you at Recyke-y-bike this morning?

So did they cut through the D-lock or just carry it off and lock it up with it still on?
What happened to the child seat and helmet?

@Magic
Move the rear wheel further back in the drop-outs if you can, if not you might need to take a link out to get better chain tension.

Saddle looks a little low and the bars are wonky, other than that looks really nice. Looks like a Claud Butler but can't get on flickr at the moment to check out the details.

Thanks,
I've sorted out the chain tension now (i think) how tight should it feel?
The bottom of the bars now run parallel to the top tube.
The seat has been raised a small amount but I feel that it is the correct riding position for me.

Hi guys,
I just got my first fixie today!
I've been looking to get one for a few month now, ever since my friend at uni showed me his Specialized Langster. I planned on saving some money over summer and getting new a pre-built rig but I wasn't so successful at the money saving part... hehe
Today, out of sheer luck (the story is pretty good but too long for a first post), I managed to get my hands on this bike for £100.
Here's a pic:

Can anyone help me ID the frame? I've not had that much luck on google.

Here's some more pics of the details:

What do you think of it?
Personally I love it! It's very strange to ride and I've not really gotten used to it yet.
Any riding tips you can provide me with?

I look forward to joining this community!
