I havent posted here for ages, but I have a couple of questions regarding a fixie/single speed project I am working on:
What size thread are most pedals on road bikes from 1980-1990?
Would any single speed kit fit my hub? I have only had experience with DJ/4X bikes, so I am still learning the differences of road bikes.
Thanks heaps in advance guys

I have no mates that ride. I love that It's one thing that is 'mine', free from criticism, free from the politics of work, free from anything shit, etc. I fucking love riding.I kinda like that my wife doesn't ride. It's one place I know I can get some time to myself you know?
very nicely, fast and smoothHow does she go?
In the final picture...does anyone know where to get those hotrod-esque spiked bolts? I have to have themIts so beautifull I might not even ride it
So I was talking to the guy at the LBS and he reckons this frames was made by a guy called Bates. Apparently he made frames in Coburg (Melb Vic) and this frame was built any where between 1930 and 1950. He said its as good as any Italy steal jobbie. I dont know about all that but it was free off the hardrubbish and its a sweet ride. I took her for her maiden voyage last night. Being a fixie virgen it was a weird experiance to say the least. But I loved it. Didnt use the break once between Brunswick and North Melbourne and back again.
No name stem,no name vintage headset, floped and choped no name bars, no name vintage lever and brake, Miche hubs on deep V's, Kool chain, complete and utter piece of shit seat that I will be replacing asap. Shimano BB, Sakae Japanese cranks and Christophe vintage french pedals.
I got a set of DuraAce downtube shifters - $30 bucks and they're yours. I *think* they're 1983 - immaculate condition.Hey Guys,
I was wondering if someone had a pair of chrome downtube shifters lying around? I am just completing a roadie restoration and thought with the lack of gears in this forum there must be some needing a home.
Thanks
