London Fixed-gear and Single-speed SJS Cycles

I wouldn't worry Murts, that Geek head-badge is fugly!

He actually gave it to my dad... I've been telling my dad repeatedly for over a year that it's too small for him and the only logical solution is to give it to me. And my persistence has paid off :D

MTB next!

edit: or lo pro. hmmmmm.

why do you think i took a screwdriver to it??? :)

hehe

whose is it off?

I have modernised this a bit with some 7600 DA cranks, nitto jag post and the ostrich kashimax which is surprisingly comfy


i can't get over how smooth she's running at the moment, the tubs been holding up well and the araya's been staying true despite the london rds and my 16stone of bulk...


and yeah, soon as the chain tugs arrive no slack chain!?!

do you actually read the forum much?

apparently not...

something, i had to endure

thats murts new geekhouse. he's being all coy about it.

aaaaahhhhhhh, you bought dale's right? that must be what the green and white thing is right?

the forum got together and got it for him as a wedding present.. Check out 'testing permissions thread'

super were have you been in the last two weeks?

someone let josh in on this...

?

for fucks sake, i hadn't noticed anything.

that was such a cool thing u lot did, even i knew that and i only know 3% of people on here ;)

ha ha !

you are not wrong, the coolest. (even though i hate the word "cool")

i just read that whole thread! how did i not see it, was it in the main 'posts' stream? fucking brilliant, do you know how you're building it up? or is it the whole bike? mega.

it's gonna be "un-dale'd" that's for sure.
i'm gonna blast the thing :)

yeah but man, it was a cool thing - it ain't in my vocab much but, cool it was

dammit I wish I could inherit those Chorus shifters never mind a whole bike. Lovely stuff Tricity.

it certainly was. and a bigfnckoff thanks again to everyone involved.

brave man with the tubs! :) looking real nice.

as I said you should defo rock this down to herne hill and give it a blast.

people have been happily riding tubs for 30+ years
and you do not need tugs

other than that.......very nice

i'll stick with me clinchers :P

me too

thnks fella's, tell u guys the truth, if you can advise a rim that is exactly like the araya gold, chrome plating narrow width etc, but clincher i'd run em.....

i'm pretty sure someone on here can advise you on something damn similar

Nice bike dayno.Wheels rims & tubs look beautiful.What tubs are they?

dayno, the bob is looking brilliant.

close but not perfect i agree

you should probably look at older rims, as they have less depth to them

or

wrong finish, i know but i really love these

^those are niceeee

Finally got around to finishing the missus / ed's missus clone bike.... the only defense i have is that apart from handlebars, brakes & levers it has been built for at least 8 months.

Where are you based. You could always bring it in to the Oxford cycle workshop if you're near! Boxes and boxes and crates of second hand gear as well as all the correct fixed/singlespeed new bits to choose from.........And way cheaper then anywhere in the universe.

what's the thread title for murtle's geek pressy?

finished my "not too serious" bike:

Shud have my v3 cutter in a few days whoo hoo

Ok, at the moment she's almost fully built, apart from some fork woes which should be fixed by Jimbilly this week so I can fit a front brake - I'll post some more pics then, but for the moment here's some grainy phone pics to wet your appetite.

Paul Villiers, Custom Track, 853 Fillet Brazed.

nice Claire..... but... threadless headset?

Go brakless FTW!

Fred...

1. Whats wrong with Taxis?
2. Can you send me a link for that frame. Was telling a mate about it after bumping into you on... whatever day that was.

Yep, it's a modern looking build and I don't like quill stems,

@teens don't Jimbilly kept shouting that at me last night, there is no way I'm riding a rather expensive frame brakless round the streets of London's famous London when I can't even skid, I'm no hipster fixie skidder! (even though it does look like one)

I did however have a little trundle round my road at 11pm last night and got a little excited. I might take it to the park round the corner tomorrow and try and learn to skid on it on the grass, the lack of brake is a good excuse to learn as I wont be reaching for it.

In all fairness after riding brakeless for a solid 6 months, it's seemed perfectly normal, like it's just a normal thing to do than a freaky near-death experiencing thing.

Claire, I love it.

The BB cluster is nuts!

Hmmm cable braze-ons?

nice claire

It's looking really nice Claire. I'm sure once the teething problems are resolved you'll love it.
