Lol.

(Rather touched you all seem to be genuinely concerned I might go arse over tit!)

I would do. I'm not sure it's what I'm after in any case.
My quest continues - tiny frame, classic look, room to tinker with a few compnents...

Humph. Didn't win the auction anyway.
How large is the frame on that, Chris?

Love fast boy cycles:

Am probably being fairly thick, but given that it says it's a 3 speed, howcome it looks as though it's single speed?

Cool. Thanks for the encouraging comments. Heh, will need a hell of a lot more advice if I do get it. Plenty more questions to come yet!

I would really like a Carlton, would actually be my first choice. But I need a small frame size and have yet to come across one of that size on ebay etc.

Hehe, I hadn't actually noticed the reflector!

Hey Guys,

Given that I don't know a great deal about converting bikes into single speeds (other than you don't want vertical dropouts), would it be possible for you to tell me whether I could use this as the frame etc for a fixed conversion? Or to a flip flop hub, anyway.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

What do you guys think of this (re small 49cm frame):

Anyone heard about this brand before?

Could possibly go one size up, not sure.

Hey Guys,

Newbie here, and looking for my first fixie. A simple, classic, and, well, cheap, really. Am only 5 ft 2 so need a 49cm frame. Have scoured ebay, gum tree, velospace etc to no avail as yet. I was just wondering, if you guys compulsively check sites, whether you could keep an expert eye out for me? I really want a fixie! Haven't decided on whether I want to buy a complete bike ready to ride, mint, banged up or just a frame. But drawn to the latter. Am open to any suggestions, though!

Thanks!
Jenny

Great, thanks clefty and edscoble, I'll check those out! :)

Hello all, newbie to this forum.
I've recently begun to love cycling (have found a new freedom in Oxford and London, away from the hills of West Yorkshire) and have recently become obsessed with the idea of getting a fixie.
I intend to start a new stream as soon as I can on the subject (have to post three times in threads!) but I was wondering... I would like a slick looking, uber simple (no stickers), straight (mens/unisex) top bar but... I'm short. Like, 5 foot 2 short - and I'm afraid I may never find one where I can reach the handle bars!
My question, basically, is: do any of you know of nice fixies that do small frames?
Thanks!
