love the graphic man, count me in if merch is made :)

I did a near vertical endo the other day, nipping between cars, suddenly confronted by traffic island. Thank fuck for brakes. Not planning to repeat either

that would give me the fear haha, you manage to drop down the right way?

I learned how to skid the other week :) Did some unintentional one footers too, when my left hand crank dropped off.

for real?
scary!
i still cant get leg over bar skids, they just feel horrible! really starting to look in awe at the macaframa intro.......

That blue frame is the shit, love it man, looks killer

I meant Steels tbh. This is not meant to be rude to them but a couple of people have said they've had less than perfect builds from Dentons - now I know no-one ever really talks about a good build but fancy trying somewhere else.

Steels have been around for donkey's + had a chat with them yesterday and needless to say, they're totally clued up.

Just need to scrape together some $$ to pay for it all now - won't be this month

for real? ahh well il just get the rim from them and get it built elsewhere then, cheers for the heads up :)

well this thread is thriving :P

can people name what tricks/ish they can do?

like diffferent trackstands, skids, shit like that?

same reason i opted not to get a trick frame in the end, i want to go fast fast fast.

same here

tbh theres not too much point in getting a trick frame unless you're really going to abuse it - stairsets, drops, shit like that. just get a decent steel track frame and adapt to the geo!

tis a lovely frame though, like the raw, nice touch.

yeah i wouldn't mind learning to track stand

ive just about managed to get no handed ones down (still wobbling around mind), phil and andy gave me some great pointers on general trackstand steeez haha

i wont be riding properly for a week or so as i just got my palm tattooed, but im guna organise a little session for about a weeks time?

people just love ripping others and shouting SEARCH hahaha

again, i have added newcastle to the thread title.

i guess new threads show up on the main forum somewhere? so people just see "fixie tricks" or "spotted" etc.. and post links to the london main forum threads, as above.

would be good if newcastle people could remember to put 'newcastle' in the titles from now if it's something like this, thats already covered in the main forum.

cheers
phil.

ahhh soz phil, thought that because i posted it in the newcastle fixed bit it would only show up there? my bad.

bruises? what from?!

i properly faceplanted the snow this morning, was baaaaad haha

i know a lot of people hate on this element of fixed gear riding, but i think its a lot of fun, so i thought id start a thread to see if theres any interest!

im not talking about jumping gaps/doing stairs/going to skateparks etc.
a lot of guys are 'pushing the boundaries' with this kind of thing, but personally i say if you want to do that shit - get a bmx.

just stuff like trackstand variations, backwards circles, leg over bar skids, anything really!

plus stuff about setting up your bike to make it slightly easier etc...

any thoughts?

spotted: fixed gear bikes, everywhere, this afternoon

haaaa good craic

Spotted Tristan riding along second ave. GET SOME LIGHTS!

i really need some..... got stopped by the police for running red lights, while having no lights the other day :S
must deny self beer money and go buy lights

spotted 2 guys on what looked like create completes, but they were single speed with brakes...... heaton rd friday afternoon?

Yeah, have a good feeling about them - went in earlier as it happens and they'll do it for £15 which ain't bad

dentons? yeah im getting my wheels re built up by them with new rims n spokes, good bunch of guys

cool see you at 1pm then folks

gutted i don't have the roadie anymore, would've been fun......

though the route marc put up looks pretty decent, i wont be about next weekend, but the one after, anyone game? (the weather will be blates better by then anyway)

well done on the build man :)
b e a utiful!
pretty sure i used to have the same cranks as you too!
thumbs up

Ha ha, yeah I saw him over the weekend too, was meaning to ask the same question

made me laugh, was like a christmas tree haha

me and my ride yo - Tristan

ive got some stuff for sale if anyone wants it -
crankset 170mm 48t gooood condition
2 oversize stems (31.8mm i think?)
and as of next week il have a black deep v rim for sale (not velocity mind, though identical)
swaps are always welcome too!

speak for yourself - aint taking the bus just 'cause there's some snow up in the hizzle.

get cold or go home, or something. but on a serious note, i haven't found riding that bad apart from arriving fucking soaked.

mind i had to take off the gatorskins, just too damn slippy! 28c randonneurs = win.

the white bike is mine :) just had it re-sprayed at betta blast, well pleased with it.

i saw a guy a couple of days ago on heaton park rd riding a mint greenish frame, drops (with yellow grips maybe???), and what looked like sugino 75 cranks in silver. he gave me hacky looks when i tried to say hi

thats a point, phil, have you seen any decent frame in recyke recently, for conversion? wanting to build up a beater/polo bike :)
