Dave,

Put down the pedal wrench and back slowly away from the work stand. Help is available.

Seriously, a darn nice stable of rides. I'm just jealous.

1983 Shogun, Tange Chro-moly frame w/Champion #5 tubing-$25 entire bike.
Wienmann DP-18 wheel set (flip/flop) with 16t cog each side. Impulse buy.
All else is used, even the bar tape.
52/16 because no hills here.
Both brakes because I've been down before.

Most of the other parts came off an eBay bike that looked good in pictures, and arrived too fugly to do anything but strip and use parts elsewhere. I can practice sandblasting on the frame.....

DAMN that front ring looks HUGE!!!!

Nice BUILD!!!:thumbsup:

This is my recent singlespeed project. I really enjoy riding it as an alternative to my road or mtb. 1998 Trek 5200, ultegra/105 components, Panaracer Ruffy-Tuffy tires, off brand stem and handlebars, oury grips, BMX used pedals, ss kit 42/16 ratio (may change to large chainring)

SICK SICK SICK!!!!

That's not stock paint is it?

SICK SICK SICK!!!!

That's not stock paint is it?

no, the lemonds emblem, and white is stock, it used to be yellow, i used white primer, then red. i didnt let red to dry, and satin colors dry quicker, so when i painted the black on there it squished up.. lot of trial and error to get it right

This is a new bike. I waited 5 1/2 weeks for it to be delivered. I opted for the Red because I already have a black bike. I've ridden ~ 50 miles on it and I really enjoy it. I've ridden is for as long as 25 miles at a time and it is a ton of fun and very comfortable. In time I will be removing the rear break and removing the stock brakes and going with a small pull brake by Paul.

Wow, very sweet. its that stock color for the Capo? I really like that bike

Yes, that is stock.

I've never had a red bike and I always wanted one. So now, I have one.

Thank you for the compliment.

Wow, very sweet. its that stock color for the Capo? I really like that bike

Yes, that is the stock for '08.

read the OP again...it has 50 miles on it.......besides there are a lot of us with bikes with 1000's of miles on them that are that clean

It was meant as a compliment....

Well, my Windsor has received a couple basic changes, redid the gearing, some flatbars, a front brake, my IRO wheelset, 1 wreck, and some uglification.... More of the snow has melted luckily, so i've been able to ride it more lately. yay!

Spring is coming soon.... Snow will melt!!!

When I was a kid, I used to bicycle everywhere and always. I would ride 15 miles to swim team practice and then back home, all in a summer's afternoon. Somehow, once I got older, I sort of drifted away from that. However, once I got married, I got back into cycling around 1987/1988, and got myself a pretty nice Benotto touring model (not sure what it was, probably an 8xx, I think). However, I drifted away from cycling again after a year or so.

Fast forward 20 years. My wife's daughter is getting married, so she is determined to lose 50 pounds before the wedding. To achieve this, she attends a woman's only boot camp 4 times a week. This makes her feel virtuous and holier-than-thou (actually, holier-than-me) regarding exercising. So, she has been nagging me for several weeks about going out and doing something exercisey.

The only two sports I really like and am good at are bicycling and swimming. Since swimming requires a pool and I don't happen to have one handy in my garage, I decided to pull out the old Benotto and see if I couldn't do something with it. It was in pretty good shape overall, so I got it tuned up and started riding a bit over a month ago.

Then I made a ghastly mistake: I went online and started looking at bicycle web pages. In particular, Sheldon Brown's page was the most damaging. His description of single speed/fixed gear bikes got me interested in putting something together. I wasn't sure that I would be cut out for anything that hardcore, though, so I decided to test my willpower by riding in only one gear for several days, picking a gear that was pretty close to the same gear ratio that a fixed gear setup would have.

It was a hoot. So, over the next few weeks, I went ahead and basically stripped the Benotto to the bare frame and converted it to a fixed gear bike. The first thing I did was to get a set of 32-spoke Velocity DeepV black rims off craigslist. Then, I got a couple of Formula hubs, the rear hub being a fixed/freewheel flip-flop hub. Using the hubs and the rims, I put together a set of wheels, figuring it would be an interesting learning experience. They turned out pretty nice.

Well, to make a long story short, by the time I was finished, the only things that had not been replaced on the bike were the original Shimano 105 crankset, and the Shimano 600 head bearings and the original fork. Now, the bike is a frankenstein collection of cyclocross-type wheels, mountain bike pedals and handlebars, racing seat and various and sundry other bits.

I love it.

Stats: Benotto late '80s vintage frame and fork. 32 spoke Velocity DeepV rims with formula flip-flop hub. Running 48/18 on the fixed gear side of the hub and a 17/19 Eno-White two speed freewheel on the other side with a 1/8 inch chain. Shimano crankset (105) and headset (600). Vittoria dual-compound 700c x 28 tires with puncture resistant tubes. Weird inverted not-quite-mustache-bar with barends. Shimano side-pull brakes (yeah, I know that a REAL fixed gear man doesn't need puny brakes, he has quads of steel. I have been down on a motorcycle three times. I would prefer not to repeat the experience on my OTHER two-wheeled transportation.) Atomlab recessed cleat flat pedals.

This bike runs like a dream. I am stunned at how easy it is to hit speeds that I remember as being really difficult back when the bike had derailleurs. Of course, I spent obscene amounts of money doing what was basically a renovation of a perfectly good bike. The owner of one of the bike shops at which I have been spending entirely too much money (my credit card has not yet cooled enough that I can handle it without gloves...) pointed out that with the money I had spent on the bike, I could have gotten a really nice pre-built fixed gear bike. He was probably right, but where is the fun in that? This way, I have a bike that is EXACTLY what I wanted. Of course, the frame is pretty ugly, looks-wise, so I am going to have to either repaint it completely or just get by using automotive touch-up paint to hide the worst excesses.

Next: A single speed 29er.

David

Edit: Somehow I had TWO sets of pedals on the bike, a set of Atomlabs and a set of Atpmlabs. I got rid of the Atpmlabs.

very nice, and great story................you'll fit right in here....."welcome to the machine".....

Here's my new fixed gear / SS bike: an Allan Wanta custom. Allan is a local builder who I found by chance. He built me a great steel frame and fork with polished stainless steel lugs. I've always liked the Gios blue, so we went with that for a color. Allan did his own custom decals ... the whole thing looks fantastic (at least to me).

Parts highlights include Dura Ace cranks, bottom bracket, chainring, brakes, levers, and seat post, Nitto bar and stem, Chris King headset, Phil Wood hubs and cog, Velocity Deep V rims, Schwable Stelvio tires, and a Brooks saddle and tape.

My other fixed gear / SS bike is aluminum. This one is so much smoother and more comfortable. I can't get enough time in the saddle on my new machine.

Enjoy the photos!

A really nice blend of classic and contemporary, well integrated; shall we say eclectic?

Gearing?

I really enjoy all the new posts to this thread. It's a little present arriving by e-mail every couple of days.

Thanks. I was going for a "classic" look and I'm really happy with the results.

Gearing is 48 x 18 for now, but will change as I spend more time in the saddle and build strength.

I guess not to many people see that these cranks usually fit a BB30 frame only.
Here are some more detailed pics.

I purchased a Raleigh International frame when I was in college (30 years ago) and built up a road bike. Even laced up my first and only set of wheels (only took 2 times). Frame had been lying around for years (see my orbea post for my main ride). I stripped the paint and repainted the frame masking out the original chrome lugs. Since spray painted frames are not very durable (even with a clear coat) I covered the main tubes with 3m protective film. I toped it off with a new honey brooks professional saddle and velo-orange leather sew on grip. Took it out for the first ride the other day and kudos to single speed riders, what a great workout. It will be fun to try the fixie side as I only have used the free wheel so far. - John

I don't commute, but I put a minimum of 20 miles/day on it. Sometimes upwards of 100. I've got an '05 Q Pro with full DA just collecting dust since I built the fixie up... it's sad. =(

I use it for some really long rides - sometimes 100+ miles in a day. The right lever is non-functional for stopping, but having two levers gives me many more hand position options for the longer rides. That's really the only reason I have two. =)

Try some Syntace Stratos Bullhorns and you will wish you had switched sooner, they are ridiculously comfortable, especially on longer rides.

have really gone nuts, just love riding it. Don't even walk to the corner.
Very comfortable frame, third set of bars so far. The brake, well,
this is NYC and anything can happen out there. I only use the brake on
realy short-steep hills.

I finally bought a bike,

Have been humming and ahhhing about a range of bikes until this little number appeared on Craigslist! In Tokyo, not so many good bikes are sold through it, I guess most Japanese people use Yahoo Auctions....

But anyway....

I picked it up today and rode across Tokyo on it, it is very nice and surprisingly fast up hills! there are a few steep ones around Tokyo, but it shot up like a rocket!!! (well much faster than my 18kg DH setup Specialized Enduro)

I am looking forward to commuting on it, although rainy season is nearly here, and no way am I riding in that!

I swapped out the stock break levers for some Cane Creek Time Trials as soon as I got it home today so I can reach the brakes a bit faster, stay more forward and look more pimp!

i guess compared to all your cool custom bikes it's a bit stock, but I like it!:D

rode for 6 hours yesterday in manhattan and brooklyn. this is a great city bike.

the best part of riding yesterday was coming out of a bodega in the financial district and seeing a crowd of about 6 people standing around my bike. at first i thought there had been an accident (someone tripped on the bike? maybe it got vandalized?), but they were admiring it. It was a real nice compliment after riding hard all day to draw a crowd of bike lovers!

Great bike, man.

My first fixie ever:

http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/4144/bikeqm3.jpg

The addiction has been confirmed -- I added another fixed gear / single speed bike to the stable this weekend.

This started out as an old Pinarello frameset I found on eBay. I had the frame professionally painted with extra attention put on the lugs and details. The result was a stunning black and white frameset that was just begging for a host of black and white components. Since I already have two more traditional fixed gear / single speed bikes, I decided to go with a flat bar on this one. The idea was to build it up as more of a cruiser than a racer.

I went with an eclectic mix of parts. The AeroSpoke wheels catch everyone's eye right away. I used a Chris King threaded headset, Sugino 75 cranks and a matching ring, Crank Brothers Acid pedals, an Izumi chain, Tektro brakes and levers, Nokon cables, an Easton flat bar, white Odi grips, and a Specialized mountain saddle (Rival SL). Of course I went with a Thomson post and stem. At first glance, it looks like I have quite a few spacers. This is due to the Nitto quill stem adapter I'm using. I could put the stem lower, but the adapter can't be cut. And you can't put spacers above the stem because they would slide right off. Rest assured this set-up is very strong and the number of spacers is only an aesthetic issue. That said, I am looking for other adapters that are shorter and would allow me to use fewer spacers. We'll see what I come up with.

The end result is something unique and very fun to ride. The bike is smooth and feels terrific. Honestly, I can't get enough Italian steel.

That's enough typing ... enjoy the pictures.

I use it in fixed about 10% of the time right now.

How is 53 x 16 up hills?

Not easy but I can manage. This is the major reason why I ride such a tall gear... trying to make it the hardest possible while still being able to ride. I find that I can grind out all the climbs and still fight the average headwinds. If the headwinds get over 22mph it is absolute torture. That is the killer the headwinds.

...So, you do know the "use your toe clip as a kickstand" trick? I assure you, it is not magic. But, if you have a cat in your house, and you leave it that way overnight, you may get a rude awakening at some point.

My daily commuter.

I got this frame in the fall. I started out with as a geared bike but I got a hold of some other parts. I'm using a ENO wheelset built on Open Pro's. I went to a bigger ring, 42 vs 39, and now I don't need to use the brakes much. I dropped the bars a bit and if I like the position, I may cut the steerer tube and drill the stem for the front brake. My leg hits the rear brake housing, so I'm thinking of using a mini v-brake. I've been using a beat set of record brifters, old SLR saddle, Time pedals (so I can walk into a store when I take it shopping), 17t cog on the back, 32mm tires, and 3TTT bar and stem.

track bike, but, well, I think I love it. Haven't had a fixie since I sold the Rush Hour, which hooked me on a fixie but didn't grab me on appearance or ride. Wasn't looking for a track bike but when I saw this I jumped. THe Nitto bars are really comfortable in every position (or will be when I put the leather tape on that I have). I think I like this brake setup without regular levers, just will move the cable behind the bars. Its a vintage 151 bcd Campy track crank (48-16). Have a silver chain which will look better. My first Brooks and I think we will become friends. Flip flop setup. I just secured a marvelous Neo Primato ELOS which is built as a fixie and I will convert to a geared bike, and it has Chris King hubs so I might upgrade, but I really like the look of this despite the hodgepodge.I also have some track pedals with toe clips that I will use for local riding. Probably change out the tires too. Hope to ride the Flattest Century in New England on it in September. Rides like I hoped it would. I hope I did not offend anyone's sensibilities. Will post updated pix when I finish

Here's my second fixed-gear bike I've built. The drive train came mostly from my new favorite online source-Milwaukee Bicycle Company. The rest came from other ebay sources except for the wheelset, which is recycled from my first fixed project. I couldn't imagine buying a prebuilt fixie.

frame-54 cm, Tange Champion-tubed,1980's Univega Super Special

wheelset-front is a Mavic rim with Ultegra hub. Rear is a Torelli Master rim with a '99
Record Pista hub. One of the last years they offerred it in a high-flange version.
I paid $100 for the hub direct from an LBS in '99. I can't believe the price of
these on Ebay now. Tires are both Panaracer 28mm Roll-y Pol-y's.

drive train-Sugino RD with 44t messenger ring, Isumi chain, Milwaukee 19t cog, all 1/8",
Sugino 103mm bottom bracket

saddle- San Marco Rolls USA Cycling Team special edition. This saddle has made it
through two Maine winters mounted on an Ibex mountain bike

seatpost-Suntour XC Pro mountain post. This was about the cheapest 26.8mm post that
has a micro-adjust feature.

handle bar-Cinelli Eubios

stem-TTT Motus with removable faceplate

levers-Cane Creek SCR5-C, same as on the road bike. I like to keep two levers cause
it's more comfortable and familiar, brake is a 105 dual pivot

headset-Tange Levin

pedals-Time ATAC

light-Dinotte 200L, It's plenty bright for my four-mile commute, and uses easily available
rechargeable AA batteries, the same type that power the Cateye taillight.

Here it is, as of now...

The frame is an old Tange tubed Panasonic dx3000 from the late eighties. I have about 45 dollars in this great little ride, its a bet small, but worth it for the price. I straighten and shortened the original fork, stripes are vinyl...

It's the only picture I have and my DSLR is shot so the camera in my phone will have to do.
