Oh ya build your own, get on freecycle for an old racing bike frame, pull off the bits you dont need, reuse bits you can (like rear wheel rim) and ba-da-boom, you're up and fixed for 80 quid. Worked for me! Until it got nicked grrr

OK so first call after Perth airport is the pie shop. Although i heard a nasty rumour that your classic British Pork Pie doesnt exist over there!!!!!!

Arms and Legs are torn from the body, along with huge slabs of flesh, which are greedily consumed while the victim still lives. If seen, Drop Bears should NOT be approached, as they are easily frightened and likely to attack. Vehicles are known to have been attacked, and being in one is no defence. An adult Drop Bear is able to easily break windows and enter vehicles to extrude would-be meals.

Another one to add to the list ;-)

Sharks.. Red backs.. Jellyfish.. Drunks..

drop bears?

So this a pretty much a sneak preview of what i have to look forward to ??! :)

Ah great info, thanks guys. I'm heading over to there to join my other half who is Margies born and bred, summer there and then...... who knows Perth/NZ perhaps?

Hi all,

been a while since i posted. So in a month i pack my bags and head over to South West Oz (Margaret River) and i was wondering if anyone knows of any fixies or good bike shops in that area as I'm keen to build up a fixie straight after i've bought a new wetsuit (straight away!!)

Any takers?

I just left my place due to work relocation its still going free, great place and cheap too...

My hand built fixie just got stolen last night, boo hiss... I'm probably too late but would deeearrrlllyyy love the roadbike as my commutter vehicle if no-one else got their before me.

Good work on the free stuff and spreading the love!

Only hope is that they got halfway down a hill before they realised that they didnt know it was fixed and kabam splat!!!! Ahem

Soo..... here we go again, anyone know of any knackered frames etc, time to get back on Freecycle!

And now there are no fixies in the village, just had my bike stolen whilst in the pub. COCKSUCKERS!!!!! Built with my own fair hands!!!!

If anyone happens to see anyone in Swindon riding a fixed wheel, MBK frame, yellow tyres, green bar tap, please please please dropkick the rider (perhaps check its not me first though)

Damn losing a bike hurts!

Cor those bob trailers look fancy (and expensive!) http://www.bobtrailers.com/trailers/trailers.php

Think I'm going to rock it on the panniers... unless anyone has a trailer for rent august/september?

OK so I'm riding UK through France to Spain this autumn (geared) and I want your views, should I be dragging a trailer or loaded up with panniers? Not planning to take too much (half a tent, change of clothes, waterproofs, sleeping bag)... Opinions anyone?

So I'm now in Swindon Monday to Friday with work and as I thought I would be, I appear to be the only fixie in the village.

Also I never thought I would miss my manic commute through central London, but boy.. cyclepaths and empty roads are boring!!! Really boring!!!

75? that would that you are just hard then :-)

Same route as the big ride a few weeks back... http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/BHF-London-to-Brighton-2004

lpg - What gearing were you running to make it up? - Or are you just nails?

What make is Derny? what a beauty! hp? cc?

Mr Smith, your bike is very shiney

Lycra - a bit gay? you betcha.

Does anyone else get a buzz from flying past lycra clad folks on fancy bikes in a pair of scraggy shorts and a T-shirt with the feet whizzing round on the brink of control? I do :D

yep, it was windy alright, most noticeable after i'd dragged my ass up that damn Beacon heading into Brighton.

Just did London to Brighton today, under 5 hours with plenty of stops running a 72". Brilliant!

So who here has made it up Ditchling Beacon fixed?

ah i love it when a film has a happy ending....

Middlesbrough originally, at present SE22 Dulwich

I was out west, living just near Kew Bridge, in South in Dulwich at the moment. My company have an office in Ealing though so i stayed on the mailing list.
