London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

Hey,

been meaning to give this away for ages, but haven't got round to it.

had this for a while, was given to me for free, on the condition i give it away for free when i'm done with it, and i am. haven't really got the time to play polo, so not being used.

since i received it it has had an overhaul of sorts and been repainted baby blue, the velo libre is cuz i got it free, hence, thus etc etc. taken to bits, everything regreased, deurailler that was tensioning the chain has been replaced with an old dmr sts that i had lying around. new brake cable. stuff like that. the brake is on the rear atm (it is s/s not fixed), but both wheels are pretty damn buckled so brake power is poor to non existent in its current state. with a mega truing of the wheels it would be good to go.

pix attached.

free to whomever will pick up (hampstead, nw3) a bike that is freewheel and effectively nobraks™

Nice, guessing it's originally for 26".

Any idea what the frame is ?

it a ridgback. looks great!

ridgeback something-or-other. has 26" on atm, with some sweet tires, really wide, and slick.

If you are desperate to get rid of it, I will come and pick it up off you. I won't use it for polo but it looks like a fun bike.

*obviously if someone wants it for polo then they should have it.

Was wee scots I think?

Man, that thing looks like wicked fun.

I would use it exclusively for polo olympics.

with raiser and brakes that will be a blast

Could it be used as an emergency spare for the euro qualis if time is tight or is that a stupid idea?

good idea but everyone has completely different set ups, plus the dude said it doesn't work, rims are bent and brakes not working on a freewheel.

you could probs still jump over logs and stuff though.

no offence but that polo bike looks gash. snoops seems like the obvious choice.

Yes!

will reply in a min snoops

Yeah, it'd fly over both logs and stuff. Only just noticed that stem setup though after Ray's gash comment. Got to be good for free though.

tis gone

to who?

<

nice!
another tankbike Mike?

Definitely a tank. It may be too small for me, still have to dial it in. Played a few games tonight on it and I really like (and definitely notice) the solid feeling.
Also, +1 to V-brakes. Wow they're strong!

what was wrong with the orbit? just fancied a change?

Nothing and yep.
Orbit is fine, still rides exactly how I like it. I just wanted to see what 26" wheels were all about for polo. This bike may not stay with me but I may be a convert...

oh yeh, 26 is the shit now right?

i can't keep up, i got my bash guard and my v brake.

hahahaha

You’ve got your big G's
I’ve got my hash pipe.

Is this gone? if not i'll take it!

went time ago mate.
