hi all, i had such a good feed back about frame info/etc last time i posted-wondered if you could all advise again. i am about to own my first fixed wheel single speed-i am from a skateboard/snowboard/downhill bike background (always had normal pedals on bikes)-i an unsure about clipless pedals-i can see the benifits etc-esp on a fixed wheel-but do they do a skateboard style urban shoe(what do you all use-pics if poss) just that i don't want a road racer stiletto. been looking at the crank bro range/with (platforms to some degree).
any help/advice etc more than welcome!
cheers again for anyone who posts! :) steve

thanks buddy, ok one last thing-gearing,whats a good starting ratio for front and back-i will mainly be riding flat and its my first time owning a fixed wheel if that makes a difference at all. just copy the gearing of a 'off-the-shelf-fixed '?
cheers for all the help-halfords cycle experts seem to offer little help !! lol :)

thanks for that-i plan on just using it for street use/comut. what size tire widths do you run on the streets? i see there a few widths/are those armodilo ones any good/what width is a good size to go for? sorry if i am asking silly questions-just seems like a good site to learn quickly from you guys/experience.

thanks alot for that reply!!!! super long/good info. i have always loved the single speed 'simple/pure look' . my friend is very very much into bikes and is always pushing me towards lug work,steel frames etc etc,but to be fair i love the smooth simple/over size frames and for some reason the bare knuckle floats my boat-i have ridden a condor,langster and a dolan so far. i think your right-in that i will upgrade over time-but i just need a fixed wheel bike asap-as i rode one the other weekend and just loved it!!! -tho i walked like john wayne when i got off it -thinking i should be putting pressure to slow down! lol :)
i do like looking at some of the gallerys of the full on courier types- wild wild bunch of guys/girls :)
thanks again for all your comments

hi i am looking at getting a brass knuckle frame as a first single speed frame-i like the over size alu frame/its within my budget. i also like the 2006 langster frame. i no its not steel/in keeping with the whole retro thing-but i was hoping your knowledge of bikes/frames on here might give me a better idea of things-thanks for your help to anyone that replys. steve
