have you got any piccy wiccies of Project Fixie?

:^]

Early days. I think project fixie needs a bit more hype and biff before you guys get to see it.

^ he's right aswell.

Ta both.

Nice one... used his site in the past for learning about Roadie bikes. Ta.

RIP Sheldon.

rhb, in amongst your little meander to find cartoons did you notice that this cliquey bunch had given you the answer to your 126mm spacing problem

what was that about taking sticks out of arses again… :^]

I did, and you'll notice I was quick to offer thanks.

Now... where did I put my arse stick? Hang on... this one isn't mine... uh-oh - looks like someones picked up the wrong one again... :/

yes! just bolt the hub in there to squeeze it to 120, no need to bend it - my frame has been like this for almost 2 years. time flies, eh?
(Dogsballs was a far more valuable member when he only posted Big LEbowski quotes... before he thought he knew anything about bicycles and suchlike.. :-P)

Thanks both. I'll go away and learn about cold setting now :)

some things never change, eh wayno?
This place has been cliquey and unfriendly for ages...
EDIT - post #44 proves that object is not normal.

Interesting. I guess now Forums are more commonplace, some of us forum newbies might just have experienced other forums, and so take a different approach to the clique-unwelcome response to a first post.

All these guys/gals want to do is put the newcomer in his place. Good effort guys/gals - I'd give it an 8/10. Nice to meet you already, so... where do I need to stand?

Maybe I can start a newbie conga line?

(please say titanium, please say titanium, please say titanium...)

I could, but I'd be telling porkies.

It's Steel 531. I've a few other frames of different materials, not for project fixie though... they're roadies, except the two mtb'ies, one of which is a kinda roadie.

what's your frame made of RHB, steel, ali or carbon?

Steel.

You might like to look at the Advice For New Members thread. I wrote it, it now transpires, just for you.

Well, I got here as quick as I could once I'd heard you were drafting it. Thanks for waiting.

well, you took that with an admirably deft touch and a lighthearted appreciation of how the forum works

On the plus side, I'm getting close to my 5 posts.

Satisfied?

I'm no Journo, so put me down as a Hipster - thanks. Maybe I should start smoking to really set the image off?

Anyway, lets put the Lexicon to one side... so back to project Fixie...

Wow! What a response.

I'm sure it's not that important if it's called Project Fixed or Project Fixie, but maybe you can point me to the glossary that proves otherwise? Yeah... you can use the sticks from your backsides to do the pointing and maybe loosen up a bit whilst you're at it.

FFS. What a welcoming bunch.

Erm... Hi.

Just bought frame for project fixie... know nothing technical on fixies except I'll have a headache already with 126mm rear hub required. Where should I be looking for wheels/hubs and anyone know a decent wheel builder around Coventry or W.Mids?

Ta.
