Hey a couple updates I made over the winter... Swaped out the original fork on the Rensho for a straightblade Colnago steel fork. Added front brake... Also put this black single speed together Campy record crank, old steel Cinelli Milano track stem, nitto cro-mo bars,Hatta swan headset, 80's Shimano 600 brakes Rolls Due saddle & my Phil Wood/Velocity track wheels...next up are fenders and a nitto bottlecage....

Can you please tell me who built the frame you have for the black one? It's just stunning!!

Submitted for your approval.

I guess my good fortune leads me to this forum before I expected to.
I ordered a 07 bianchi san jose singlespeed cross/commuter bike, knowing full well it had a flip/flop hub. Same wheelset as the 07 pista, just with bigger tires.

Well, it came in, and as the LBS was putting on the pedals, he noticed one problem with the singlespeed: it didnt coast. So currently, its fixed, which is cool and should befun to adventure with until the freewheel comes in.

So here is it, also pictured with my girlfriends new Pista.

I picked up this frame for cheap at the San Diego Veloswap on Nov. 05. I saved so much that I'm gonna give her a cool custom paint job. I'm thinking black with a yellow to red fade flame job. I dunno.

I quickly slapped on some parts so I could get her up and running. Can't hardly wait till Tues. night track racing in April!

Bought a Motobecane Messenger (no flames, please) and upgraded with various bits I had in the parts bin. Changed out the 16T cog for an 18. Also added a SS freewheel although now that I have had the fixed experience, I doubt I'll ever use it.

Nice fixed Kona! I'm staring at the frame, and I can't identify it! At first I thought is was a Jake, but upon closer inspection, the seat collar is facing the wrong direction. Is it a repainted Dew? I love the colour! :)

You pretty much had it. It's a Major Jake, and the seat collar is different because it's the 2001 with the Easton tubing, i guess. If you remember the Major Jake from back then, it was a Mango color.

Pictures don't really do the color justice. Not that it looks better, just... tackier. It's a bike that definitely stands out.

My new Messenger. Before I left Missouri I built up a SS MTB for myself, but my 18 year old daughter wanted it so I gave it up. Been looking to get a SS road bike ever since. Finally broke down and got this. Hope to make it a dedicated daily commuter.

Sweet bike!

My 27" wheel flexy baby. JB welded, de-cogged freewheel-now-fixed rear wheel. Wellgo pedals, MKS clips, chopped bars, random stronglight cranks, Fuji Flite-ripoff saddle, QBP seat post....nitto stem...Forte tires... I have no idea what kind of frame, I found it at the dump.

I am going to be getting a fixie just for work and back. i do see that lots of the bikes on here are converted older road bikes. my question was how do you get the chain tension right with a vertical drop out and no chain tensioner?? sorry im new at this.
thanks

After all the help I got from all your posts, I figured it was only fair to share my bike now that it's done and truly fixed. It started out as a stock 2005 Specialized Langster, but not much remains from the original bike. Aside from the frame, fork, seat post collar, and headset, everything has been upgraded over time. I went with a red and black FSA theme.

The new wheels are my favorite part since they're so custom and unique. I had my local shop build this set with black Velocity Deep V rims (no braking surface), black Paul hubs, black DT Swiss Revolution spokes, and red nipples ... for just a bit of color to compliment the bike. The rear hub is a flip-flop.

Other component highlights include Campy Record brakes (with red Corima pads since the rims don't have a true braking surface), Campy Record carbon brake levers, FSA carbon bar, FSA carbon stem, FSA carbon seat post, Specialized Toupe Team saddle, FSA Vigorelli cranks, FSA track bottom bracket, and a Surly cog.

The bike weighs in at 19.44 pounds as you see it, which includes a computer, pedals, and cages.

The bike currently has both a fixed gear cog and a freewheel. Over time, I may ditch the freewheel and go fixed only. If (when) that happens, the Campy brakes and levers will most likely be "designated for assignment" on another bike. After all, you can't just have spare parts sitting around. I'm sure removing those parts along with the freewheel would also shed a nice bit of weight.

I think that's everything. Now the good stuff ... here are the pictures. Enjoy.

Here's my beloved track bike. It's never seen a velodrome and it maybe never will. Nevertheless, during our mild Colorado winters, it's my primary and almost exclusive ride. During the summers when my road bike sees more action, the track bike gets flat pedals and toe clips for city riding and tom-foolery.

The frame is a 2002 Bianchi Pista. I bought the bike stock from a woman in Texas on ebay a few years ago during my first year of law school after reading an article in Dirt Rag. I had to use my whole tax return and forego certain necessities such as food and beer for the duration of the spring semester, but it was worth it. I recently considered buying a different, rarer frame. However, I concluded that it was just vanity, insecurity, and the symptom of a throw away culture. I've had a lot of good years on this bike already with no end in sight. All well-worn fixies start young, and mine has barely started. There may be other Pistas out there, but they're not as fast and not as cool as mine. I had no reason to switch her out.

There really aren't any stock parts left: Michelin carbon tires with Panaracer kevlar tire stips (best product ever); Miche Primato hubs (36-hole); Velocity Aerohead rims; Miche Primato crankset; 48x16 gearing; I forget which chain; 2006 Bianchi Pista fork (replaced after an epic crash); Campagnolo Chorus headset; Deda Pista stem; 3T bar with white Bike Ribbon tape; Campagnolo new-old-stock seatpost; and a San Marco Regal saddle (showing the effects of a crash and leg rubbing).

P.S. The dog is Stanley, a Westhighland Terrier that belongs to my girlfriend's parents.

Oops. My girlfriend had to make the files smaller.

I finally posted some pictures on my "First ride on the fixed Raleigh" thread. Thought I'd throw one on the "Sticky" for posterity.

As some of you may know, I have been waiting on a 07 Madison for ever. Well this weekend I found this on Craigslist and had to buy it. I think its a significant improvement over the Madison! (Thank you wife for allowing me to go over budget a few bucks!). Anyway, fixed riding is so much fun. Its taken once boring roads around the house and transformed them into rollercoasters! Glad to finally part of the community, the seller invited me to a critical mass ride the night I bought it. Could not go (family man) but thought it was a nice gesture! This bike has purple anodized spacers - I thought those were banned. Enjoy.

Frame came out of Brooklyn on Ebay, is now calling the west coast home.

Most parts either from the spare parts bin, or local shops.

Here is a pic of my last project.

I got a derailleur hanger from a Stinky Primo from 2004 or 2005, it had Saint components and a dummy hanger.

BCA frame rescued from dumpster. Rear wheel has Formula flip-flop hub, DT Swiss spokes, and weinmann lp-18 rim. It's the only thing I've spent money on so far, but I need to get a new saddle, seatpost, crank, and front wheel eventually. Still fun to ride :D

Here she is.

Great job putting her together.:thumbsup:

It's a White Industries ENO single speed crank.

Presenting my first fixie build - please excuse the funky background: This is a powdercoated green 'new' Univega frame of Columbus Thron, Easton fork & ritchey stem, headset and bars, from its roadbike life, Brooks team pro and tool bag, cane crk levers, sugino crank 48t and white eno with eai fixed18 cog & white 19t freewheel, centaur brakes. Rides like a Cadillac.

Not fixed but singlespeed 38/15

This is too cool....Is the Paul's tensioner spring loaded or does it lock in place?

I think it is not springloaded. I think you adjust it and it locks.
2 years ago I had a Dabomb tensioner but it did not work well and it made a lot of noise.
This one works perfect(so far 200 km) and it makes no noice at all.

I have been using an inexpensive Marin frame for my fixed gear adventures for a couple of years, maybe 500 miles in total. Last weekend I hooked onto a group ride out of Bloomington, IL with my fixie and started chatting with a guy with a super tricked out Merlin fixie. I caught a bad case of upgraditis! Dang! Now I've been going thru some changes in my stable this spring and decided I just had to move my fixie stuff onto my "nearly vintage" Litespeed Aurenburg. Got'er all dressed up today and went out. Threatening clouds on the horizon but I didn't care! The black clouds blew in, I went straight into the teeth of it. The temp dropped 10 degrees, the wind whipped up to 20mph, and it was a darn stingy rain. No hail tho, I thought I was lucky. The, suddenly, it got sunny again and it was freakin' awesome! I just totally dig this bike!

2003 Bianchi Eros frame. 53cm. Tensioned using a White Industries ENO eccentric rear hub. Built up two days ago, swapping parts off of the previously used aluminum frame; only one ride on it so far, but d@mn, the steel feels soooooo much better! 46x17. gets the majority of my road time now. the geared bike is sadly neglected.

Surly Crosscheck set up fixed/free. 38x15/20. mish-mash of e-bay, parts bin, veloswap, and good lbs deals. it gets the fenders, and rain/ugly ride/commute duty much of the time.


Check your seat angle. What are you? A downhiller?

Explain the wheel lacing. My thoughts are that it would be very compliant/flexy. The bent corners are very rounded not strait.

Here is my 1987 Rossin, Columbus SL tubing. rides great. 42/15 gearing. Since these pictures I have a new Phil Wood high flange rear hub laced to a NOS Matrix Iso llC rim.

Just picked up another fixie for the collection. An IRO Mark V to go along with my pista concept. The most appealing thing about it to me is the lines.

The ride isn't bad. A little less stiff and slower steering than my PC, but not bad. I really bought it as my bad weather / "beater" bike - I plan to through on some fenders (SKS race blades on order). Gearing is 46x17. Its a bit steep for the commute out of DC heading into NVA. And it is just shy of 20 lbs (19.7 to be exact).

After these photos were taken, I replaced the saddle with an SLR (same as my other bikes) and put Conti 4 Season tires on.

Yep, it's a Giant. Figured I couldn't go wrong. I tried a bull bar on it, but it's just not me, so I went back to the drop and changed the tape, I think the white really makes it pop! I also changed out the tire since I'll be doing mostly dirt road riding and put on a set of Conti Contact 700x28, which fit really good. That's mostly why I got a giant, is I wanted to put on 28s and stay with caliper brakes, most like the Bianchi San Jose I test rode had super fat tires and cantis, which I didn't want. The 26s actually worked really well on the hard dirt roads, but the contis work even better and make for a plusher ride. I just wanted something to goof around on, and so far I'm happy! May paint it in the future and would like to try a Brooks saddle, but we'll see..

Not the best pics (in a rush), but please let me know what you guys think...

I'd gone with the milwaukee....

Figured I'd post some pics here as well as elsewhere.

1993 Dave Moulton Fuso, the last year of production. Columbus SL with pretty much a "criterium" geometry, including a flat crown fork. All extraneous braze-on's dremelled, filed, sanded off with powder coat by Olympic in Santa Ana, CA.

Cinelli 1A 120 mm stem and a 66-42 bar. Campy Record headset. Stronglight BB with a Shimano 600 170mm crank, 42 ring. Formula high flange sealed bearing flip/flop hubs laced 32 x 3 DT 14 gauge to Sun M13II rims. 16t track cog. "El cheapo" Pyramid "fluted" seat post topped with a Selle Italia C2 saddle (the cheapest they sell and an absolute bargain for a "Made-in-Italy" very comfortable and light saddle.) Cross-type lever pulling a 7400 DuraAce single pivot brake. Michelin Orium 700x23 tires.

19 pounds ready to ride. I built it to sell but I'm keeping it.

My first fixie, on our first ride, today.

She's simple, cheap and beautiful, a combination that's hard to find.... A second (or third?) hand Windsor.

Got this 1981? Apollo Custom Sport from LBS for a sixpack of Big Rock Traditional. It's a 62cm hi-tensile frame that had a bunch of Japanese parts on it (Shimano, Nitto, Kuwahara, Araya).

It's running 36x16 on a Surly ring, SRAM PC-1 chain and Miche cog threaded on to a Surly Fixxer. All the parts are stuff from the garage/other bikes, I only had to shell out for a new seatpost, some cloth tape and the flat pedals. Bars are flop'n'chop.

I ride this to work everyday and for short trips around town.

She's simple, cheap and beautiful, a combination that's hard to find.... A second (or third?) hand Windsor.

I must say I am impressed with the look/color scheme of the Hour. For as cheap as it is, I would expect it to look, well cheaper. Even some of the lower end road bikes they sell look worse when it comes to style. so thumbs up, and ride the parts into ground.

Bought a Motobecane Messenger (no flames, please) and upgraded with various bits I had in the parts bin. Changed out the 16T cog for an 18. Also added a SS freewheel although now that I have had the fixed experience, I doubt I'll ever use it.

for my son to race, he is a junior so our objective is to train with it for(roadracing). For a cheapy training bike is ok.

Will do some updates next year, bars and soem bits.:D

I really dig some of the bikes in this thread. Sweet rides!

Now I'got a Fixie too :D

It's build up with a various selection of components. Some would say it's blasphemy not going full campa, but truth is. This started out as a budget project and it's gone way too far already :o

I reckon most of you can tell the components from the pics except for the rims. They're NISI sprint. The tire bedding is actually drilled to shave some weight.

Pics are clickable :)

Just finished it. 88 or 89 Panasonic DX 3000. Fun ride for $43 dollars

Here's mine. It's nothing special compared to some of the bikes here, but I like it. It's an early '80's mid grade Falcon frame and a mix of parts I scrounged. Took it for it's maiden voyage yesterday and it rides nicely. I'm getting hooked on riding fixed gear, so this one will stay that way. I've got a feeling my Langster will start collecting dust and may donate some parts to this one.

'06 Fillmore, stock except for Brooks B17 Saddle and I removed the stripes from the frame and stickers from the wheels for a little stealthier look. I usually run a 44/16 fixed unless I'm on a hilly ride in the nearby Blue Ridge Mountains, then I'll run a 44/18 freewheel setup for the long downhills. I have a geared bike but probably do 75% of my riding in this bike.

Just bought this yesterday, my first fixie. I gotta throw out a plug for Chris at Table Rock Bikes in Morganton, NC - it's not common for a town our size to have a shop with an emphasis on SS/Fixed bikes. He's a great resource for both road and dirt for our part of the state.

Found it on the side of the road with a "FREE" sign stuck in the spokes. A quick U-turn, a shoebox full of unnecessary parts, and a few months of part-hunting brought it to it's current incarnation.

I cheated, and got a eno hub. (those eccentric rear hubs)

A Motobecane Messenger. It's a start.

Finally got my xmas bar tape on there.
Had a lot of fun building this up. Frame is IRO group buy organized by BikeForums Single-Speed and Fixed Gear subforum.
I absolutely love the color, as it seems to change depending upon the light.
I put it all together myself, installing headset, cutting steerer tube (perhaps a bit short). Slowly working on building-up the Miche hubs that came with that group buy.

Frame- 59cm IRO
Miche Group- 170 Cranks, hubs, seatpost.
Rims- Velocity Aerohead
Stem- Thomson
Bars- Syntace
Brake lever- Nashbar tt
Pedals- MKS GR-9, cages

where'd you find pink aeroheads?

I just found them on ebay.
It was a pretty solid score. I was just searching 'pink' a while ago and found them. it was just when i ordered the frameset, so i hoped they would match since we didnt really know the true color it would come out. I tried them with my san jose, but it didnt match nearly as well.

My old Frejus. I dragged this frame around for 25 years until I finally found the momentum to build it up.

No flames about the pink handlebar tape, please.

No flames about the pink handlebar tape, please.

I like the pink tape, but then again, I have two pink wheels on my bike above.
Besides, it really pops with frame color.

I like the pink bar tape. It's a good contrast to the frame color.

It's a really elegant looking bike too, the pink tape may not be classic as the frame, but it's a reminder that an old dog can still stay with the pack (that's a good thing for those of us over 50... thanks for posting)

Not to many fixxies are build for utility are there? Most of them are naked, no seat bag, no pump, no back flasher, no light. I hope these bikes are not trying to ride at night.

When I get a fixxie one day, Im going to spoil it with accessories.

That is sick!!! I say add white bar tape.

That would look good, but my problem is that it won't stay white! I may just not tape it at all. I don't know.

and a creative build.

I vote for any bar tape. I like bar tape better than aluminum.

How's the ride?

Thanks. Rides real good. I agree; that's too much AL. I'm going to just put on some black cloth velo bartape that I have. The brake levers need something to blend in with.

I did not have any white tape, and I am over budget for life anyway! I just couldn't put white tape on a bike, not that there's anything wrong with that. I found some regular old black tape in the barn. At least it matches the saddle and the levers.

I finally got 'er done. Actually I finally had a sunny day to take some pix.

very nice. The track bars are better looking than the stock bars, imo. What gear inches will you be running with the new chainwheel?

Thanks! I had a Salsa Pro Road handle bar w/ some Tektro roadie brake levers and decided to change it up.

So far I like the Deda bars a lot.

Since I mainly use the bike for group riding, Im going to keep it geared around 75 to 78. And if I get the urge to take it to the track I'll try to gear it to be in the mid 80's to 90.

Right now I have it set up 42x15 (75.6) - its a good workout, cant really imagine needing a harder gear for how I use the bike.

so If I get a 46 I will run it 46x16 (77.6) - just a little harder, hopefully not too hard.

and if I get a 48 I'll run a 48x17 (76.2) - probably what I will go with

some better pictures of the basso-matic

I have a basso titanium and the stickers started to come off, so I made "Basso" into "ass" and "titanium" into "tit."

something gene built for fun, i guess. i bought it for pretty cheap. he said that it was fun to build.

i don't know what it's actual purpose could be. it's really only useful as a fixed gear, since it can't take a rear brake.

Nice Langster - more info on the build please? How is it so light?

Edit, I found your thread here (http://forums.roadbikereview.com/showthread.php?t=117680).

Fort Uno. I keep a front brake nearby for hilly rides (I'm not as brave as most of you no brakes types). Anyway, a neat little steel bike. Like the new Surly cog. Current configuration is 42X15. Probably ought to put a freewheel on there for those days when you get tired out there (better not forget the front brake).:eek:

Hav'nt been here in a while. A small crash, finacial woes have me not riding and having the rear wheel stolen did'nt help me riding fix.
Good news, new job that is 24 miles of bikeable roads each way...
I was considering selling my frame to cover some bills, but I just can't.
Here's the Graham Weigh (http://www.grahamweighcycles.co.uk/mainsite/) stripped down. Good the see the steel frame are still available.

Here is my IRO Mark V 53cm that I just finished building. Sold my fixed Nishiki Olympic 12 to get this built together. It has the following components: IRO Mark V 53cm and stock fork, IRO BB & crankset 165mm, MKS road pedals w/ MKS half clips, Formula hubs, Weinmann DP18 rims, Cane Creek S-8 headset, Truvativ XR seatpost, Truvativ XR stem, Truvativ XR XC riser handlebars, and finally a set of Salsa MTB grips.

I actually had the headset, seatpost, stem, & handlebars from my mountain bike parts bin.

not mine but in a bike store on the weekend

early bikes great restoration

Here it is boyz and girlz! It's almost almost finished...

my randonneuring and commuting bike. The adjustment is, as you have learned (because yours look well adjusted) is pretty fiddly (that's a technical bike term.)

After I got it right, I measured the excess length, removed the stays and cut each one with a hacksaw, holding the stay in a vice. It added at least an hour to the project, but the result was worth it. BTW, the shop that sold me the fenders told me to use superglue with those rubber caps.

Good luck with it and enjoy; love the saddle!

Yeah those caps fell off whenever... Its like why even have them? I thought about cutting them off but I don't have the tools.

The saddle is the original that came with the Prelude when it was sold.

Here's a list of components:
Frame: Columbus Tenax Main tubes, Tange Cromo Stays
Fork: Nashbar Carbon Cyclocross IS 1" steerer
Brake: Avid BB7 Road on Nashbar TT levers
Stem: EM90 90mm -10 degree rise w/ 1" shim
Headset: Canecreek 1" SAS Black
Handlebars: Nashbar TT bars 26.0mm x 42cm warped with Cinelli Cork
Seatpost: SR Laprade 26.6mm x 250mm? I think
Fenders: Planet Bike Hybrid Freddy Fenders
Crank: Sakae GX 172.5mm arms
Chainring: 42T
Cog: 14T
Chain: SRAM PC48 3/32"
Pedals: MKS with PowerGrips
F. Wheel: Mavic OpenPro 32H laced 3x on Formula C91 IS hub 100mm
R. Wheel: Mavic OpenPro 36H laced 3x on Formula Flip Flop
Tires: Continental Contact (winter) or Michelin Speedium (summer)
R. Light: Blackburn Mars 3
F. Light: Cateye Opticube

Future Upgrades:
Install V-Brakes and run both Vbrakes and discs on the front. Basically so I can switch in summer and winter modes. I can remove the rotor by just taking off the IS adapter on the formula hub which is awesome! There's one for centerlock but I might pick it up only to make it "look" even if it leaves bearings or anything else exposed.

Possible new saddle. I haven't decided. I am due for a seatpost. Maybe carbon, the front end rides so comfy now with this upgrade. :thumbsup:

My all purpose college commuter, grocery getter, and ride to friends house bike. It usually has at least one brake, but is currently between sets, since I'm trying to find a good long reach brake..the fork was made for 27in wheels. Sorry about the picture quality. Cheers

here are my bikes.

Here is my Tsunami Track. It's my second track bike and it feels great. The first was a KHS 100 so the difference between the two is amazing. The frame is so light and it accelerates like a arrow out of a bow. I did put the deep V's on since I ride it on the streets of Chicago. If I ever make it to my velodrome career, I think I would pick something lighter to roll on. Hope you like it.

P.S., Chuck at Chuck's Bikes is amazing to work with. He exchange the carbon track fork to a road fork so I could add a brake and much more. You can tell he love cycling.

Great build...I think the white frame with black components is probably the best combination

Not sure who Officially makes the Tsunami Track frames but they are only sold though Chucks Bikes. There is another bike company with the name Tsunami but they don't seem to be related.

I bought this bike in November. It has two brakes and a Surley flip flop hub. Paul long dropouts, Hatta bottom bracket, DT Swiss RR1 wheels, Sugino 50 tooth chainring with a 1/8 inch chain. I also have Surley 19 tooth fixed gear on one side and a 20 tooth Shimano freewheel on the other. I am looking for a tool to take the Shimano freewheel off.

Got the framset pretty cheap (and event got a Thomson Stem and Gold Answer bars for no charge). Awaiting my proper Surly wheelset.

need to update what i've got. the moto i posted 4 years ago is now long gone and i've been riding this around for a couple years. it's my early 30's Malvern Star with a mix of 30's and 50's era parts and paint.

sweet chainring! beautiful bicycle. lucky owner.

IMHO, one of the coolest bikes ever posted in RBR....I would love to ride that bike

Boy a lot has changed in 4 years... Here are my current SS and fixies

thanks. :D

it is a fun ride. once you get it going, it just rolls down the road.

but I think the coolest part on that bike is the chainring. There's nothing ordinary about its 5 different arms.

Sorry for the crappy pic - I nicer one might follow.
