hi, been lurking on here for a while, and finally got round to posting!

pretty new to fixed gears etc but i am interested in building my own so i can make it how i want it (im quite picky)

just came across this binach frame on ebay ending soon - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...id=p2759.l1259

would like to make it into a single speed (if i can get it for a good enough price), do you think it would work well as one? been reading about it, and i read that some bikes arnt really suitable to make into single speeds. something about the chain tension?

any help would be great! ive left it quite late tho, the auction finishes pretty soon.

thanks alot

dave

Pretty! The dropouts aren't super long, but they're long enough.

It's a great frame for fixed or single. Go for it.

thanks very much for your replies!

say i do get it, how much more do you think itll cost me to get it all finished?


cheeers

How long is a piece of string? It all depends on the components you put on there, and if you wanted to you could easily spend a grand blinging it out. Or you can spend £100 and grovel and beg people for spare bits.

I'd recommend talking to dogsballs, Jos and Roberto on here as all have and sell lots of bikes and components and can help you get it all together whilst helping you both save money and them to make money.

has anyone looked at the list of hilarystone stuff for sale.
for one thing (lo pro) its at £2.51, with a shipping fee of £38,000!

Hey pavid, am doing an old Bianchi myself from the 70s i think, have seen that frame on ebay, did you get it?

that's very nice. the colour is gorgeous - don't spray it! hope you won it.

nahh i missed it! grrrr. im so annoyed. it went for a pretty good price though.

yeah the colour is amazing, really liked it.

if anyone has a frame like it, id be interested!!

cheers!
