Is a "fixie" the new mountain bike?

[GrumpyGregry]

So when are you going to invest in a good bike?

I already own several thanks.

I think gold on a bike looks garish. Even if I was the big lottery winner I would not pay that for any bike. I would rather give the money away to those who needed it.

That excludes you lot

Charming!

A fixie is the new BMX, not the new mountain bike.

Yeah, that's what I say as well.

Either you don't ride enough for your bike to require maintenance or your in denial. As for your fixed rattling when you stand up....learn how to maintain a bike and tension your chain, before it comes off and you chip some teeth.

I tension my chain regularly. That doesn't stop it going out of tension after too many standing starts from traffic lights, and chain tugs which can cope with forward-facing dropouts are apparently somewhat thin on the ground

My in denial what?

normal chaintugs work fine on forward facing dropouts...well mine do....just file the pip off.

I have a bicycle frame hanging from my living room ceiling. I should probably build it up and ride it, but I really quite like it where it is.

This one?

Yes, never occured to me before but is that a part of the actual velodrome? I'll check next time I'm going to Decathlon
