Surly Steamroller

http://www.surlybikes.com/steamroller.html

I was about to post a link to Branford Bike in Montana, who always stocked a really nice selection of fixed stuff; I bought cogs and chgainrings from them a few times. Upon opening the webpage (http://www.branfordbike.com/), I read this awful news:

"A Massive Wild Fire engulfed our community in Emigrant, Montana on Sunday, July 30th. Our shop was completely destroyed. We tried to save our inventory by placing it in an on site bomb shelter. The intense inferno melted glass and aluminum and turned concrete to powder. Our retail store, warehouse, our home and the homes of several neighbors were little more than piles of white ash and twisted metal on a black and barren landscape. Fortunately no lives were lost.

On Monday morning we visited our home with an official escort and saw how severe the fire was. We came back on Wednesday and opened the smoldering bomb shelter. A small fire was still burning inside. All that was left of our inventory was hot pile of white ash and scorched metal. We decided not to try and rebuild; Branford Bike is closed forever unless a buyer is interested. We will leave the web site up for a few months but cannot accept orders. All orders placed but not filled will be cancelled. Our phones no longer work so please contact us by e-mail with questions or comments. Thank-you for your support for the past 30 years. Your support allowed our business to grow and move to the beautiful state of Montana. We love living here and will eventually build a new home in the mountains.
--- Tim and the crew at Branford Bike"

A tragic end to a nice shop. Tim is looking to replace their library of books and is soliciting donations. Visit the site and see if you have any of their desired titles lying around.

Arguably the best hubs for Fixed or Track

This guy might disagree. Check out his crankset too

van dessel has the "drag strip courage" or the "country road bob" (flip flop hub)

<a href="http://www.euroasiaimports.com/productcart/pc/viewcat_h.asp?idcategory=44">Euro Asia Imports</a>: While not a retailer, EAI is <b><i>the</i></b> track part distributor. They have scads of track stuff from Sugino, MKS, and Shimano as well as vintage Campy stuff and any track part you could imagine. Browse their page and visit your local bike shop to order. They had enough pull to get Shimano to do another run of their older 7600 high flange track hubs.

<a href="http://www.donpatrol.com/">Don Patrol Velo Garage</a>: These guys mostly sell on eBay but can get stuff from EAI and Soma stuff at really great prices. Just send them an email and they'll get what you need. In Cali and ship ultra fast so a great deal if you live on the west coast, took one day to get to me in Oregon.

To add: <a href="http://www.businesscycles.com/tr-refspec.htm">Business Cycle's</a> reference page is a gold mine of info.

So the 7600 hubs I bought were new and not new old stock? I didn't know that

More on the EAI Bareknuckle: <a href="http://www.businesscycles.com/nessuno.htm">Geometry</a> (scroll down), <a href="http://www.euroasiaimports.com/productcart/pc/viewCat_h.asp?idCategory=403">EAI's page</a>.

<a href="http://www.zarinternational.com/debernardithrontrack.html">DeBernardi Thron Track</A>: Made in Italy, lugged.

<a href="http://bobjacksoncycles.co.uk/">Bob Jackson</a>: off the peg or custom, lugged, made in UK.

<a href="http://www.merciancycles.com/frame_vigorelli.asp">Mercian Vigorelli</a>: semi custom, lugged, made in UK.

Depends, I think they started with a run of 32 hole but might have done others if there was demand but EAI had to preorder enough of them to get Shimano to pull out the machining. That's why they were approaching $400 for a hubset a couple years ago and now you can find them for between $250-300.

Yes. I paid $299 at Bens Bikes for 32 hole a couple of months ago

Canadians can get some parts at http://www.misfitpsycles.com They're good guys.

Misfit Psycles

These guys are a little more mountain bike single/fixed, but they make good products:

RE: Phil Wood hubs.

Those listed as "Track" are what I want for a fixed roadie, right?

Correct, You can use either high flange or low flange

Ive done a fair amout of business with Bens Cycle. Super customer service, great prices and a great list of parts. They even tracked down some stuff for me!

Deal with Ben's, you would regrett it.

TheBikeBiz (http://www.thebikebiz.com/Track_s/117.htm) carries much of the same stuff that BensCycle does at better prices... and good service.

Dave

thanks for including our link.

We did just put The Hour fixie on sale at $299 delivered. [of course, I think this is a deal]

By the way, I think track bikes for the winter are great. When I lived in Dallas I road a VeloSolex fixed gear around White Rock Lake everyday in the Winter. Rain or shine. Fixed with no brake. But today White Rock is so busy; I think I would want at least a Frt Brake.

Surly will begin selling complete steamrollers this coming spring
complete with surly hubs cog and lockring as well as a sugino crank, quite a smoking deal at $665 retail.

Jamis makes its Sputnik (track geometry): http://www.jamisbikes.com/usa/bikes/07_bikes/sputnik.html

Spicer Cycles can build you a custom frame to your liking too.

I ride a cross fixie that he built. Fancy Lugged steel, custom, fork included all for 750 shipped. Great deal and he is pleasant to work with.

www.keirinculture.com

I bought my Panasonic frame from Stratton at Keirin Culture. He gives excellent service.

The frames are used but most are in outstanding condition. Keirin rules dictate that the frame are built very strong.

If you like lugged frames, this is a great source....

watch out for frames that have 110mm rear spacing. These frames usually only accept 8mm rear axles. It will require hard to find conversion kits. or you could get out a file to make the accept 10mm axles..

My frame came with standard 120 rear and I have no issues....

Check our wheel building website where you can build your fixie / track wheels the way you want them.

www.prowheelbuilder.com (http://www.prowheelbuilder.com/customwheels.php)

nycbikes.com has nearly everything you need to build or buy your fixie, and they're wonderful people to deal with. I also did very well with wheels from bikeisland.com

Don't forget about the Jamis Sonik. I just bought this bike and am very impressed with the geometry and components. For the price, it is truly hard to beat!

Jamis Sonik Link (http://www.jamisbikes.com/usa/bikes/08_bikes/08sonik.html#)

Scattante (http://www.performancebike.com/shop/profile.cfm?SKU=25174&subcategory_ID=3040) over on Perfromance $499 (backordered)

All of the IRO links are no good. Might be time to update them.

Felt has some cool ss/fixies.

I just got the Felt Curbside. Very fun bike to ride, after you get rid of the argyle crap.

They have one true track bike as well.

I am assuming you're joking about the argyle? Why buy the bike if you don't like the argyle? Plenty of other options out there.

Why would I be joking about the argyle? It is a hideous addition to an otherwise awesome bike. I bought the bike because it was a good price at one of my favorite LBS and outside of the argyle, it fit my needs for commuting.
I am sure some hipster type would love the argyle stuff, but not me.

Hmm, interesting. Thought there would be other options out there that you wouldn't have to change the saddle immediately but maybe not. Enjoy the bike.
