London Fixed-gear and Single-speed SJS Cycles

sweeeeeeet. very classy build, i can't wait to see it in the flesh, err metal.

not sure those bullhorns are going to be accepted at tracks though, although you'd probably know better than me.

i think i'm going to split that graham weigh and sell its frame and bits. the fork's knackered and i had to cut the stem out, so it just needs too much spending on it, and i'm dang broke. may build up a coaster hub for use on my pomp on slow-ass dayrides.

Nice Dolan pistaboy.

DWS, you mind if I have a peek at your Weigh, I may need a few bits for my road bike. Particularly a rear wheel and a seatpost.

Thanks

Thanks mate.
I just put the bullhorns on whilst i get the drops sorted. The Nitto's i got my hands on turned out to be 38cm..... TINY!!

deadly, you can have a look. all this stuff is heading for ebay otherwise. the seatpost is 90s campag 27.2mm, pretty darn short - looking for a tenner. the rear wheel is 8sp campag with a campag rim, although i tried to true it up and it's pretty unworkable without rebuilding. you'd need new nipples at least and a good deal of patience.

That's a shame DWS. It looked a real nice project too!

Can I take a look at this also please Dan? I too need a rear wheel ( geared ) if DFP doesnt want it... also interested to see the frame and what other bits were on it.

Worrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd.

me too, maybe we live in the same street and don't know it :D

Heres my Williams fixed. We ain't together any longer, I am on a ss hardtail at the mo while I finish my ongoing fixed project - I'll post a pic of it later

The ss that is not the project

...so as promised and not that anyones interested here are some pics of my SS conversion

oh and my Daccordi & my Kinesis Racelight

hey dan, did you get rid of the 27.2 seatpost?

Still a work in progress, looking for some bits to help the build if anyone's got owt they're trying to shift.

thats a good looking wheelset. what sort of hubs are they?

i have a new bike and it's very nice but i don't have any photos of it yet. Does anyone want my dolan pre-cursa size 56, it's up for sale now?

My ebay.fr Gitane has been resprayed mint green (read faux bianchi) and i've solved the french headset problem eventually (and hopefully for good adrian) by putting on some carbon forks i had kicking about from an earlier incarnation. Doesn't quite fit the 60's steel look but now i don't have a wobbly headset so its all good i guess. I have a pair of bullhorns, some flat bars and some chopped drops kicking about too so i'm going to have a fiddle next week and see which feels best...I think it may be the flat bars though....My eggbeaters finally wore out so I'm on the lookout for some more clipless pedals but i'm broke...we'll see what turns up...

On-One Gold - got them cheap in their 100 item sale a few months back. They've got silver front and rear in stock for £25 each at the mo.

Nice bike nelson. Saw you locking up near St Philips t'other day, reversed and went passed again for a second viewing. What ratio; notice you don't have clips?

Yeah, my eggbeater pedals have broken so i need to save up to get some more, its not going to happen before next payday so i've got the flat pedals from my all weather commuter on. 46:15 or 42:15 ratio i think, its fine with my eggbeaters on but unclipped its a bit sluggish to start. Need new pedals soon! You were on a blue bike?

Yeah, she was my first, ol' bluey.
But now I've spanked all my money on building a newer/improved bike.
I'm going to send her to the bike polo pastures to live out her remaining days.

my current project frame, I think it's a old claude butler, light as anything and takes a 27.2 seatpost and is plenty old. Re-sprayed with cans, hope it doen't chip like a bastard but at the moment I'm pretty proud and feel the need to share it with someone. Hope you can see it!

My new Raleigh... more

Can't see the pics dude.

should be cool now, like a dumbass i chose not to share the folder?!

xFritzx - a good solid choice there with the Bowery. Have fun.

wow, very nice

As finished as it'll be for a while...

You want a picture of your bikes for insurance purposes. That and it's nice to see how the bike changes shape with the years - i.e. how your riding style changes.
Unfortunately I have no camera.

^ my brother(what a tool) is a photographer. If you live local to Wolves I'm sure he would do it for you for free. TBH he did some for me a few years back - crikey what a load of pissing about - though he is a fanatical photography boffin.

Failing that Fursty ferret does photography and is also a forum member, based in Wolves, he would do it just cos he loves bikes etc

a long time in the building process, but finally here ...

My new Pomp

Double seatpost bolt?
what are the wheels you got?

Hey BG, yeah I got a double seat clamp bolt, I had a load of trouble trying to source a single 'IN STOCK' seat clamp while doing the 'build'. I had it from CRC in the 'FLOOD SALE' and it was only £1.50 ! The plan was to take it into work and make 2 singles if you will by milling it into 2, as with all plans - it didn't go to plan and is still as you see it.

The wheels I had from Graham Weighs - top north west track guy - used have all my kit off him when it was Deeside Cycles, when they used to have quality track kit & wheels in stock. They are Mach 1 Omega on flip flop black cartridge hubs, £75 delivered - take a look

I will post some better wheel close ups later

well here goes, best I could before the storm

Really tidy build bunny squasher, Iooks a good ride. Nice brakes too, I do love canti's

^ cheers DFP, thanks for the positive comments 8-)

Look good, what do they weigh? Looking to buy a new set for my summer bike as it currently runs tubs which could be more practical.

BG next time I take em off when I'm tatting about I'll weigh em and let you know

well it is a singlespeed bike.

seat as far forward as possible for barspins hops & airs, one of the most pointless but fun tricks i've had to re-learn after 3 years off

after re learning all the old shit im gonna learn some new shit and might even make a video so i can show off like all the other vanity riders who need their 5 minutes of youtube fame. Not.

Not Single or Fixed, but re-born today with my spare race wheels - not much weight going on the panniers until I get some proper touring wheels.



Great spot for a pic I thought...

^I like the frame, cool monostay thing going on

My new pride and joy.



More pics... here!

That frame is niiiice.
fron wheel looks a bit funky though. Is the back a 650? I've never seen a road/track bike with a big wheel up front.
Does it hail from foriegn climes?

^just a weird camera angle isn't it?

^^^700c front and back and I know what you mean about the 'wheel'... well in my opinion it is merely the white tyre that has it looking somewhat unbalanced ( and the funny camera angle! )... once I can find an amber wall or fully black tyre that doesn't rub the down tube or fork crown it'll be on in a flash! Need something decent in a 700 x 20c variation. Any recommendations?

Also yes it is foreign, Belgian to be exact... handbuilt by Jan Van Dalen.

Badd!
