  • My first ever SS bike was a blue charge plug - back in late 2009. I then spent far too much on a "custom" conversion job, which was pretty shitty and is what I ride to this day.

    Being such a snob, but also lacking any knowledge, I decided that the charge was for poseurs, sold it and stuck with the conversion.

    Now I've realised how awesome it actually was and have got something nice on the way, which I will try and build up a bit better/differently to how god intended it.

    This is on the way to me courtesy of philxthomas. I will never build it up like this so this is the closest pic of the "starting point".

    Plans:

    • Remove rear brake, run fixed.
    • Use my hplusson/phil rear wheel.
    • New front wheel.
    • Proper chain.
    • New chainring. 47/17 gearing or thereabouts.
    • Install my brutal fixie skidder pedals.
    • Track drops up front.
    • New stem (slammed).
    • New saddle.


    Possibilities:

    • New seatpost?
    • New cranks?
    • New headset?
    • New paint/ stripped?

    Got some of the above already, will post further when the bike arrives.
