The Fixie Thread

uggh, dont do it man
shit ass rims, heavy as fk.
1 pc cranks... ive seen them bent like noodles dont do it!
spend a bit more money and get a masi or something trust me

really? whats a masi? whats my best cheapo shiter option then?

 

[Lorday]

shirtz, I got a hi-tensile frame. It's a ex-roadie: repco monaco. Freakin' old, still going strong as a beater. For your price point look for old bike and restore it. Heaps of fun, cheaper and you get to put the money where you want to put the money (i.e - cranks and wheels)

 

[macka1]

you can get a set of wheel on the bay for <$100.

are they the 700c panthas?
if so i have heard they are cheap for a reason.

two of my mates has them as well so would be unoriginal.

Plenty of radi-COOL lookin' fixed gear machines here in Perth !!
Anyone got any idea what rims are about as deep as B43's but they look like they're sorta built to run a brake on? Not B43's, probably just a cheaper version?

 

[Cedel]

Uploading pictures for FS thread now, I'll chuck them in here too.

EDIT: Here you go!

Plenty of deep dish road rims out there...B43s look crap anyway.


Big news...after not riding a fixie all year with no regrets I am bored. My brake on my current p.o.s cannot actually lock up and I miss InitialD mad skidz.
A new fixed rear wheel is on its way to me and expect to see a return of the almighty Raleigh beast and its partner in crime...the controversial, super rare one of a kind 700c fork I am currently in negotiations with my design team to come up with a mad paintjob to insult the eyeballs of the canberra public. Stay tuned, I may be back in business soon

It won't be one of a kind, it will be the same kind as its been for the last couple of years.

Its obviously too exciting for some though, RCOH felt compelled to post a pic of his dick such was the euphoria

 

[cretin...rider]

Oh, very disappointed.
