Is that a flip flop hub? I'm looking for a fixed gear for a friend

Not a problem, is bank transfer okay when I pick it up? And would tomorrow be ideal?

Could you do any times in the afternoon?

That's great to hear, as long as it's in good working order to ride away then I can certainly take it off your hands. When would be best for you?

Looking for a complete atm as I'm looking to get riding asap, thanks for the offer tho! Have my eyes on a very pretty kona paddywagon 🤞

I am new to fixed gear riding but very interested. I'm 5'6 so I'm looking for around a 52cm frame bike preferably with a front brake (due to no experience) and flat or riser handlebars. I'm new here so if I posted in the wrong section then please bare with me :)

From what I've seen from the collective comments, I'm sorry for what I've said as it's clear I took things the wrong way and certainly started off on the wrong foot. I can see that now. I didn't mean to be insensitive but especially how I entered the conversation I understand how it was seen that way.

Then please help me resolve it, I don't understand what I can do and would rather resolve than be seen as someone who thinks he's right. That's really not the person I aim to be.

I didn't understand the harm and apologised. I'm now tryna move on but keep getting dragged back to this thread. I have apologised and said I will no longer comment on the topic in case I do more harm. I was simply asking questions cos I'm new here. If I put it in a way that was offensive I'm sorry, I clearly didn't have the understanding that other members do. Therefore I'll keep my ideals to myself and focus on my cycling. I can't undo things, I can only try to resolve them or apologise.

I've only joined this community recently and want to learn more about the fixed gear lifestyle. I'm also looking to improve my cycling to a point I can start going to velodromes and introduce myself to the racing scene 🤞

Alright mate have a good day

If I can't apologise and you're gonna keep nitpicking everything I say then clearly you're no better than me. I did not put it on the same level I got told I was "invoking the persecution of trans people" which I would never aim to do. Therefore I felt the need to defend the fact that I have no problem with how people present themselves as it doesn't affect me. I'm trying to give an apology and you still want me to just say I'm insensitive. In the name of harm reduction you're no good at explaining to people and may be the very reason some people are against it. I like to have a healthy conversation that is constructive so I can take something away from it. Hence why I'm not trying to insult anyone, while you're trying to say I have a "crassly stupid insensitivity". I hope everyone has a great night and once again apologies for any wrongdoings or things I have said.

I have friends that are going through hormone therapy and many others that are part of the lgbt community. I have no issue with any of that and was simply asking questions. If I can't do that then I won't and I apologise if I've violated any terms of the group. I can't say much more on it.

I agree with you it's the people that count, hence me questioning why it matters what pronouns you give an inanimate object that you own. If this is how discussions go down on this forum then I'll stick to bikes and keep my questions to myself. I was simply asking where the issue lies. My apologies.

If it came across trolly then I've given the wrong idea, I simply question things when they're frowned upon and thought I'd chuck in my opinion. If that's not something I can do here I'll stick to my bikes and not comment on any issues like this in the future.

Can you tell me what point I missed so that I know at least?

I'm kinda interested but would like to know if you can put a front brake on those forks as I've never rode fixed

Well you've made the assumption that it "reveals something less admirable". Even saying it's sometimes is admitting that it's not always in bad interest. Instead of telling everyone that pronouning their bikes is wrong, perhaps put more focus on the people that are doing it with ill intent. I thought the whole reason you called a bike she is because it personifies it and in my experience makes me look after my bike more, as I notice it looks after me. I'm all for everyone being who they are but this seems like a very strawman argument about something that isn't harming anyone. I thought the main purpose of your way of thinking is risk prevention

Okay let me know if it rides okay

Imagine getting mad over giving bikes pronouns...and yet people can change their own pronouns freely...this seems like a very childish discussion

If you have a front then I'm very interested as I need at least front brake to get used to it. Let me know and I'll make sure I have cash ready 🤙

If this isn't gone I am interested, only I've never rode fixed. Is there a hole for a front brake in the fork?

Looking for my first fixed gear, could this be ideal? I also can get to Victoria easily.
