v nice, how is the ride compared to a road frame

Now that is sick, love them GT seatstays, but don't know if I could go with SS

Really considering making a cheap fixed mountain bike fixie for shitty Dublin streets over the summer. Was thinking something like this. Any other examples recommendations ?. Can most mountain bikes take 700c wheels or will it have to be 26" ?. Thanks

Cheapest place to buy rims, not chain reaction or wiggle

but its a solid hub

thanks, its been laced as 36h

thanks for the reply, where'd you find the tutorial if you used one

its for a front wheel btw

is this ok to do, trying to build my first set of wheels up here and after measuring my spoke length I only have long enough spokes for a 2 cross pattern

pretty sure I have the same forks and simlarish seatstays on my carlton flyer. Maybe an English frame ?. Not too knowledgable on this sort of thing though

Rx1's - left pedal could do with regreasing, comes with blb toe cages - €40

Stronglight 46t chainring unused - €30

Cinelly citreum - €15

Shimano break - €20

or

it will be done

laaavely frame and price, if only it was touch bigger GLWS

thanks mate, have my hubs sorted now though

My little lamb, in the process of upgrading the wheel set and cranks

thanks for all the help guys. Decided on the BLB rear laced to velocity for the rear and 2006 campy record laced to an open pro for the front

any suggestions, have an old carlton flyer track bike. Currently have navigator pistas which personally don't cut it for me for commuting so looking for something a bit more comfortable

excellent point.

Basically I'm split between:

pair of the blb kings on velocity rear and open open pro front (pretty much brand new) - 140 euro or

pair of DA 7600's on open pros - 225 euro (well used)

these are the two wheelsets I've found second hand around Dublin. I'm upgrading from a pair of navigator pista wheels which just don't cut it for me personally on Dublin Roads. I'm just worried if I splash out on the DA's I wont be getting the most out of them and am just paying for the look of them, I don't ride track and use my bike as a commuter.

Any advise anyone has would be very much appreciated

how do they compare to 7600 for road use, obviously not as good, but can they take more of a beating. I live in Dublin so plenty of cobble stones

anyone tried these ?

buuuuump, 5 years on
