Taking this as a compliment!

Have been riding fixed into the City for many years. Don't post very often, but frequently lurk.

Maybe that's what we are missing - more lurks

I've ridden a shade over 12,000 miles in the last 18 months on my Pearson Touche fixed, currently toying with building a geared tourer based around a Bob Jackson 631 World Tour frameset.

Love the Mercian !!

On my second fixed. Was only supposed to be for commuting, but now gets used for everything.

So much fun, the car has barely turned a wheel in weeks.

Fossy, what size frame are you? this might do for a low cost track bike

get some wheels for 150 i recon and the other bits wouldnt be too much

Arrrggghhhh.........54 would be fine........................DO NOT SHOW ME PICS LIKE THAT...................... you'd build up a damn nice bike for less than £500......no.no..no.no.no.no.....

I ride fixed for commuting..... for fun and weekends it's the road bikes - both are over 15 years older than the fixed, but... are they nice to ride.

The fixed is the best thing for bad weather - had it all this week...... seriously wet every ride....just a quick wipe of chain, drop some Finish Line ceramic stuff on, quick spin of cranks, then a quick wash..... all done in less than 10 mins - no messing checking for crud on mechs etc......

PS I won't post too many pics of my fixed again.....although it's good..... got the mickey taken by Trio and Ali at the drome this week....and I'd even said my bike was dirty...... sat in the riders' area.... I'd carried it into the track centre as it was covered in sh!t from the roads..........

Whoa!! I think most of us would be interested in some feedback on this, only seen pics before now. We'll be watching......

 

[urbanfatboy]

sure thing. I was waiting for one of you to buy one, but then figured if i bought one and changed my mind i'd be able to move it on at only a small loss. But, yes, quite keen to play

I built up my Fixed for commuting but use it for everything other than off road

Completely understand, we couldn't do the club ride today cos Mrs TF was getting an award so we went out early, only 30 miles but magical, no traffic, little wind.......
You are not far away, we are doing a social fixed ride next sunday am, come and join us?

 

[bonk man]

Raced on fixed a fair bit last year and have [ I think ] carried off the Fixed Time Trial Trophy again.... which means the club champion has one less thing to take home at the club do next February

I posted this elsewhere on the forum the other day so sorry if you have seen it before

I don't do an awful lot of fixed riding to the shops etc as there is a massive hill that is a barrier to sane fixed riding hereabouts
