yeah haha. id let you borrow my 650 if u lived in L.A and i think im gonna sell this frame to get the origin8. i found one for sale for $120. im swaping it maybe in a couple weeks.

well i didnt feel much of a driffrence wth the 650. just a little lower. a bit easier to manuver too. kinda feel like itf it has... power stearing? haha i dont know how to explain but its good. got up pics of it with the HED and 650.

pics are up.. dont wont have the hed3 till tomorrow. im getting the tire put on becaus i dont know how to put on those tubular tires. ill find out later. and will also take another pic with the 650 front wheel i got with it too.

i cant help the fame, it just throws itself at me!

and i'm not sure but i think i just learnt how to bunny hop :o

mate, check out who's on the front page http://www.fixiefiend.com/

yeh man get those phto's up! sounds awesome

yellow tape?!

safety first! brakes still on, my area is really hilly so brakeless isn't really be an option, it also helps when i'm out trying cross, which bike are you putting the b/h on?

i don't know, just under confidence i think, just wasn't happy at speed or when leaning forward for skids, i'l put them on for the summer though, the purple tape is very poser-y

tried some bullhorns yesterday, have to say not thoroughly impressed

nice and cheap for you bender

i live next to a hill, all grass a bit undulating and loads of people ramble up it at the weekend, i was thinking of whacking some cyclocross tyres on the fixed and trying some off road, what reckons?

bit of a bitch if you get a puncture though

maybe try this out

weve got loads of realllllllly cheap 32c and wider so it might happen

just swapped it to the front for now, found some vittoria zaffiro tyres cheap, and also have you any idea why some guys go super wide with tyres?

bugger all to do in the shop today so i manned up my gearing a bit, now rocking a 46-18 rather than the 42, traffic can suck it!

yes but 5? ahh well i think a trip to BL will put the nail in the car coffin

yes but i know have very limited space in the garage for more bike! and no one would want to buy a rubbish purple fixie either

oh crap, nice fixed gear it is then

maybe for the summer, il ask one of my friends that knows maths to work out an eqaution proving that buying a new fixed is much more beneficial than saving and buying a car, hhmmmm

this is going to cost me

but are they 1"? ive got a shite old frame so it wont take any tasty new parts

my word that's tasty!, tyres look a bit big for me but wicked linker!

salrite ive bought some new plasti-kote spray on jeans from b&q i should fit in alright

yeh i need to head up to bl next time im in london, looks wicked,

yeh picked up loads of swobo and fixed based stickers at the earls court show last month the thing will be covered! boss will probably want the shop name on there somewhere too

this is my one http://tinyurl.com/yjtswj4 i like it because its half recyled and looks a bit different

those trashbags look friggen sweet! but i'm cheap so i went for the schwalbe messenger bag @ £25, im never going to get huge amounts to carrry because its not london but should do me well

il let you know tomorrow, doing some more courier stuff tomorrow though, but my bag hasn't arrived yet

bikeshop minion and student, potentially much less money! but the bontys should be super cheap, i think we've got a few lightly used sets downstairs so they might be pennies, cheers

ive got a brake but where's the fun in that!? we've got a distributor for vittoria so a new tyre should be dirt cheap, weve got so many bonty tyres downstairs i might try my hand at those! cheers bender

bender just screwed through my rear tyre, bastad things only been on two weeks! any suggestions on cheap ass tough tyres preferably not too wide?

Yeh wouldn't even think about riding fixed in London looks far too scary!

That's Sunday sorted then, il go on a 5 miler to mtfu then see bout commuting, doing some courier work tommoro though!

Cheers for that I was thinking of doing my 10 mile commute on my fixie as it's winter and the roadies wrapped up, I'm pulling a 42-18 but the commute is relatively hilly think itl be safe or should I just MTFU ? Cheers

Yeh thanks mate, I've got trackstands and skids down and I can do the rubbish version if a bunnyhop, what gear are you pulling on the sub? And what's the commute like?

bender can you do any fixie tricks? i really want to learn some basic ones cheers

ah sorry i dont.

thanks bud, best of luck!, also crc do no quibble returns so dont worry

thats why i bought it! but no, its for 1-1/8th i had to use a convertor

alrite bender heres the link, and good news for you (and me) its cheap! http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=19676

like that thread for instance,or others like it.

now if you were to post a pic of your bike,in threads that related to your bike then that wouldnt be a problem and so long as you dont tell people its for sale directly through the thread thats not a problem either.

if people enquire about your bike in threads just ask them to leave a message on your noteboard or through pm.

threads would get swamped with buyandsell adds and spam.

theres nothing stopping you putting something in your tag line though.

no adds in the threads.
