You buy Muppet.

Muppet on a bicycle - is this the kind of googled response you were after?

I second that dogsballs -it saves money for the essential tools - Hammer, adjustable spanner, chisel.. ;-) 3 wheels so far..
I used an old pair of forks that were fuked and spread the fork legs to 120mm. zip ties cut off to guide the eyes, and flip the wheel to check even dish.
On a more relevant note I think a folding truing stand would be a good idea if it wont see regular use.

trials / DownHill bars? or BMX bars without a crossbrace in a BMX stem? or, as mentioned above - ApeHangers. :-D

Those guys are jokers! this is my favourite pic - talk about primary position on the roads, at least you won't hear the horns :)

I think all campy pista hubs are loose-ball ones.. and they have non-standard threading so can't use just any axle, cones, locknuts.. oh no!

@ Ratboy - Theres a (slightly dodgy-looking) advert for a pair of campy track wheels on gumtree - fiddy pounds! need some tlc as theres a bent axle involved. you can get them from campyoldy.com - they may be tubulars.. http://www.gumtree.com/london/37/17039037.html
Also heres a 700c fixed rear wheel forty GN - be careful of the OLN though - may not be 120mm http://www.gumtree.com/london/99/16630599.html

MrBurns,
"prease buy arrospok fiddy dorrar!"
For a singlespeed you can use an older pair of road wheel, ones with a thread to screw on a freewheel, and replace the 5/6/7 speed freewheel with a single BMX freewheel. You may have to 're-dish' the wheel to ensure the chainline is straight. For cranks you can use a road double with one chainring on the inner position or a specific singlespeed chainset.. lots of options here and google 'chainline' if you don't believe me! There are a lot of FAQs about fixed gear bike building. Check out the links below (some nicked from bikeforums.net).
Please do ask back when something more specific comes up! I'm not being an unfriendly fuker.. :-)

Get Involved! - still need are some knobbly tyres for mtb and the beast shall take on all..
Hippy surely it will not take long to re-assemble the GT?
I think it will be strange and new to cycle without any traffic around!

hungover.. but I'm trying to be less rude than usual. ;-)

He shoots - he scores! Momentum has good bike karma. always nice on the forum.
Now does anyone have a spare stem clamp bolt for a cinelli / Nitto AA type stem? (not for me)

The OP just pasted links and vague info - why not just put the actual advert text (complete with sizes + prices) here in the classified section? Posting a new topic with no information is annoying for all users.
And regarding the rudeness: had a potential buyer posted a link to that £175 bike and asked for advice whether it was worth buying, I would have said the same as my original post. So why hold back? I know it was rude, but I'd rather help prevent anyone who reads this forum from (IMHO) wasting money.
I've spoken to Left is Right and he seems a nice bloke, and unfortunately for him has been held up as an example of how not to get started on the forum.
I may have bikes to sell soon - If I exhaust my circle of acquaintances then I may post here explaining how much they cost me and details of condition then invite offers. If I wanted arrospok-dorrar then I'd post on gumtree with a sale price and put a cheeky link in the Ebay / craigslist finds thread. I think no-one would object to that netiquette.

if you search the forum for 'Formula' / 'system-ex' / 'IRO' / 'Ambrosio' hubs I believe SJS hubs are from the same factory with slightly different FLANGE machining.

am I right?

I know it seems silly on a fixed wheel, but it could be dished to compensate?
You measured from the centre of the hub to the teeth and it differs by 1cm, is there the same difference if you measure from the locknuts to teeth?

wagwan. welcome - Toby, Sleepy, Snowy - makey yourselfey at homey.. :-)

I am stating facts. you are posting links. Whats your problem?
I understand it's a hobby - but you won't get back what you spend on these contraptions, so give them as Xmas presents or put them on Ebuy.
