Why are fixed wheel bikes so expensive?
They seem to fetch far more second hand than a geared bike.

How do you convert an old bike with forward-facing dropouts to a fixed? It's been a long-term plan of mine, and any tips would be welcomed.

I’ve currently got 3 Fixed Wheel Bikes a pre war track bike Higgins. A new build 2016 Jarvis Flying Gate and a Surly Steamroller. Rode the Surly most days it wasn’t raining. Fixed wheels as well as being good fun are a great way of maintaining cycle fitness as specially as one gets older (I’m 72) was recently involved in an accident Broken Pelvis hip and Collar bone. Currently I’m unable to swing my leg over a bike so am looking out for a 56cm Mixtie Frame to build up as a FW to aid recovery when I reach that stage.
