$0 Fixie Build

[83AST]

Cost me nothing to build
Found it at a council clean up, didnt even have a flat tube or worn tyres, pretty stoked on that.
The frame is huge and with the seat slammed would roughly be the maximum seat height for me.
The back half of the bike is undercoated and so are the forks, its missing a few bolt which I had to ghetto repair, I dont have the tools to remove the old style cassette and I dont plan on waisting my time to do so, well, not any time soon.
Spokes are rusted, so are the cranks, but im not complaining.
Shes awefully loose cause its missing washers and bolts, but it does the job and im not spending any money on it.

Its a Colnago frame for anyone wondering.

That's unreal! Nice work mate

That deserves to go in the budget builds thread. Definately takes the cake for 'budget'.

It will be if i decide to weld the hub haha

put the deraleur on mut with no cables and tune it tothe gear its a good tensioner

 

[bodgie]

Shouldn't need a tensioner on it. Jut a couple of links out of the chain. Dropouts seem to have ample room for adjustment to get correct chain tension. But definitely get that chain tightened asap, I'd be scared riding it with that much slack. Other than that nice find.

Its not as bad as it looks its got room to slide back, I just put it on quickly to ride around, its fine now.

na that doesent work becaust when it gets someting caught in the chain it goes up a few gears and you have to cut the chain to get it undone

You are incorrect and do not make sense.

Please put some money into it?

Otherwise give it to me, it looks too big for you anyway...

If you have a smaller frame Ill swap?

May aswell update. Different cranks, bars and brake. Still $0 build

Depending on the quality, vintage and condition of the frame it might actually sell for a few pennies.

I suspect its not a Colnago. Great job on no dollars however.

Yeh it's not, never corected myself. Still sketchy on what it actually is.
