thanks, I shall explore the options suggested :)

That sounds confusing Ed.

So you say.......

1. Buy any fixed gear bike
   
2. Buy a disk brake kit, or compatible forks?
   
   
   

That sounds way too difficult.

If it was so easy, surely this thread wouldn't even have been started would it.

No. Its got to be something really, really, really difficult.

It may take years to figure out.

Thanks for the sarcasm. This was my backup plan, but I was trying to avoid it as I figured a new fork will probably change the characteristics of the bike and it'd be more hassle.

Thanks for the replies :)

Thanks, I did a search but didn't find those. I can't use the roadrat as the disc mount is on the wrong side - I use a dynamo hub in the winter which needs to have the mount on the other side of the fork.

Hi all,

I am looking for a fixed gear bike that has a front disc brake (or that can be easily converted to one), drop bars, is very light, and has clearance for 35mm tyres.

I know it is a hard combination to find, but if anyone has any suggestions, or even decent framesets to start from, I'd really appreciate it.

Will be willing to miss out on the disc brakes if the rest can be found for a good price.

Thanks

Daven

Don't see the point of them really - nothing more than glorified cycle lanes. They can still be parked in / driven in.

I just got an origin 8 pb&j tool, which has a bottle opener on it :)

I have a giant scr1 and a specialized globe sport disc converted to drop bars.

just getting into fixed gears and I have a cheap one built on an old frame, but I am already looking for my next!
