London Fixed-gear and Single-speed SJS Cycles

Hey folks...i hope this doesn't cause any offence being BMX based...but they are single speed so i'm hoping you'll all be cool with it :)

I'm putting on a point to point race for 20" wheels only, from Brick lane to Brixton skatepark....ending with a bmx jam at the park, with BBQ, beer, music, and a whole lot of bikes hopefully.
It'll be the first race of this kind in the uk as most bmx events are either street or dirt based....this will be a flat out sprint through the streets of London...So i hope your legs are up to it?
The idea is to cap it at 150 riders....with the first 100 to get to the elephant and castle grabbing a ticket that allows them to race the rest of the way to Brixton skatepark after a little rest and regroup.
It's gonna be pretty mad and hopefully a whole lot of fun!

Sponsorship is currently being sorted, but Brooklyn Machine Works are already on board with a sweet prize...and hopefully plenty more too!

If you want to register to race you MUST email first.
Cheers!
S.

I'm in.

I'm so in. Bomb down broadway is going to look like a piece of shit in comparrison to this.

Also want the flyer printed on a shirt.

Love the drawing.

It hopefully will be printed on tees too.
The artwork comes courtesy of the very talented Mark Skulls!
Cheers Mark!

So a London version of this:

@S.

Awww bless, have a hug instead, its not quite a bmx but almost as good!

Oh dear James....Knowing Juliet i'm sure she'd rather have a bmx ;)
We'll sort you one out somehow J. ;)

I might borrow a bmx for this, it just looks like its gonna be awesome fun.

Are bromptons allowed!

If some savvy kid upped their gear ratio and went clipless theyd be sure to win.

I'll have some of this!

E-mail sent!

Hate to advertise here but thought some people might be interested and would benefit..
Trying to get rid of a 2006 DK 4-pack. Good condition bought it new for £400 odd. Has a rear odyssey break, 2 pegs, it's all black with extra long cable and sensibly cut down bars. Some surface rust on scrapes (very few and small) and on pegs.
NOTE: Cranks click a bit (could be BB but doubt it, have never done massive drops or ridden much other than on flat) and the screw which holds the main sprocket in position (onto the cranks) is stripped, standard alan key screw so easily replaceable.
£180 I'll deliver anywhere on the London Tube network. PM if interested and I'll send pictures.

Just realised I wont be able to be there because of work...I think you should hold it the weekend before

back on topic

Emailed.

emailed and put on bmxtalk

i'd love to do this but BMX is just too fuckin small for me now :(

HTFU,
i still ride BMX, i know your taller but it aint that bad.

Sounds gnarley, I might be in...

If someone is prepared to lend me their bmx I am so up for this.

ATTENTION --- WARNING --- ALERT:

Do not lend the previous poster a BMX bike.

No offence, like.

haha, none taken, although i'll have you know I hardly broke any bmx parts over the years....

You weren't riding hard enough then.

I was joking..... :p

at the end of the day bmx is just a man on a tiny bike

Then whats the problem?

To be fair, I havent destroyed many parts, and most of that was through throwing the bike (I was young). I can ride hard but most parts just deteriate through time untill they need replacing.

knees x handlebars

Good point..
Id be riding standing up the whole way.
The route is about 4 miles isnt it?

Get a longer frame. I am not sure how tall you are but I am 6,2 (and look rediculus on a BMX) and a 21inch top tube is nice and comfy. I will be upping the gearing for the race though.

for real??

It is a BMX race pip.

honestly i got my BMX fora tenner and got it rolling for 20 so to buy a new frame is not really worth it

/\ Fair do's.

i know, but i am going to sneak in with 24s

I've got a Haro frame going for free if you want to build it up.

I'll be doing this on the Mag Burner.

Thats not a BMX.

Cheeting. Brix fully endorses cheating.

Im sure someone will notice the wheels which are 4 inches bigger than everyone elses.
