The Fixie Thread

[leitch]

[quote='Ross]bar talk[/quote] They all just look like pursuit type bullhorns or else TT style base bars (like what you would clip aero extensions to the top of) which have been rolled back from horizontal...

These just look like a really fun bike!

Yeah it's great, have so much fun on it. Then I can flip the wheel from the 17t to a 15t and whack some drop bars on and it goes fast too.

Can anyone recommend a decent, relatively tough rim for the front of my SS?

I was happy with the deep v i had, but left it outside after putting the bike on the carrier and it got pinched in about 2 minutes...

Should i just get another deep v, or is there something shallower that can take handle bashing around a bit. Nothing too serious, but the roads/paths i ride on are often a bit rough.

Mavic open pro, strong and look boss, not as deep as velocities.

We have different definitions of awesome. I think when you say awesome, you mean relentlessly awkward and goofy-looking.

 

[Lemontime]

So much smoother than 99.99% of fgfs riders.. Still such a silly looking bike. He rides bmx too apparently, chainless.. -_-

 

[Lorday]

The only good thing about that is the front wheel slide down the hill backwards. That is it.

 

[HLC]

got a new frame... dummied it up with some spare wheels i had kicking around...

 

[Lorday]

Sydney Siders - will I see you there?

 

[HLC]

put bits on it... (the frame that is)...

not built how i wanted to. but i just want to ride the damn thing... gotta polish up my other cranks then ill be running campy pedals w/ clips/straps, and gotta fix up my ergo stem, so ergostem w/ bullhorns... and find a home for that heavy b43... AND get a black chain LOL blue chain straight off the other bike... and i geared down from 46:15 to 46:16... i wont enjoy the extra spin, but thats what i want to work on!!
