Recently built quite a few at work and realise i like sitting down and building wheels, so if anyone wants em built, i'll do em pretty cheap, i got loads of spokes at work i can buy/you can and can even get quite a bit of stuff in for wheels (not a huge amount of track stuff though).

7.50 per wheel? Would usually cost you 25ish at a shop...

Just drop em off somewhere convenient and i'll do em. Usually takes an hour per wheel but i need to find the time so it should hopefully just be next day. Give me some notice though.

(dunno if this has been done before, but i'm bored)

Any pics of the 50cm with fork and wheels? Want a small trickster bike but i think 50 might be too small for a 5 ft 8 guy.

Professional wheel builder/mechanic/sales assistant :P

High flange = more triangulation = stronger wheels.

I could find Angel tomorrow, but i doubt you'd be around as it's a saturday?

I'd get lost even thinking about how to get to hackney wick, haha.

Yes please!

Where abouts are you/work?

Orange frame, white vees, seen a few times locked up to a lamp post right on the junction of newgate st/holborn viaduct.

Anyones?

Am i looking at 80-100ish for frame only?

:( R.I.P.

Gotta ride that way to Condor as soon as i get to work.

Not looking at splitting? I'm in the market for a steel cheaper track frame :P Perfect size too.

How much for frame only?

Moral issue, is a Pista too nice to do bar spins and other abusey things on? :(

'Now theres been concern about the t shirts being made in sweatshops in indonesia, but don't worry, i can assure you, the kids know what they're doing'

Fuck playing cards flicking your spokes, get a bell!.

Anyone got a recording of the outcome? Or video?

Specialized really do get it wrong far too often.

Marathon plusses are a winner for me, only go down to 25c though :( SO much puncture protection.

Saying that, i ran ultrasports for 11 months and never had a puncture, doing quite a bit of mileage.

Glen, you ride a battered beaten up Geared Bianchi, well, i say ride, you push it to work from the train station! you only live 20mins away!

Get back to your faggotty lycra geared road bike forum, or i will reveal the truth about your real love of small childrens bike with no seats and annoyingly noisy brakes....

*he does actually ride trials. and yes he looks stupid on a wierd little bike!

Harvey, i have posted pics up of my trials bike, they should all know by now.

I live 10 miles away you faggy lolgay.

I ride with travelcards in my rear road bike wheel, because it advertises that i'm a weekend warrior and never ride to work :P

Is it eqiquete to say nice bike or hey or whatever if you're next to a fellow fixeder at lights n stuff?

Tall white guy with dreads, multi coloured front deep v, grey frame i think, outside my shop in St Pauls.

I want powergrips... They seem to be awesome.

However, if you're sticking to straps, attach a small weight to the underneath of the pedal to counter balance the straps weight, so they sit strap side up naturally.

Ah right, that's gotta be hard, it really is a nessecity to have a rear brake in trials, if you land on the balance point or even near it you'll loop out and end up on your arse in the most painful way. Haven't tried it on a bike with low gearing though so it might be a tiny bit easier than i think.

Pivoting eh? Like, on the backwheel swinging the front round and riding off normally?

Fakie - learn on a fakie friendly bike and you will be able to apply it to a fixed no problem. I personally used my 3 inch framed trials bike without a chain down a hill to get it, and managed 70ish metres, i can fakie fairly far fixed, probably 30m.

Wheelie, it's a big thing for trials, bar and stem choice, makes SOSOSOSOSOSO much difference as i'm sure you know... What setup do you have?

Backhop? Like getting onto the backwheel and hopping backwards? That's fairly friggin hard on a rear brakeless bike.

Bit of a bump, but tonight, i learnt bar spins! I can skid, bunny hop, fakie for ages (trials balance for the win), pretty much no handed trackstand, backwards circlesish, wheelies and i'm still trying more things.

when when a bike goes past you could write down a full spec of it just by getting a quick glance.

when you closely examine every ss chainline bike for fixed or freewheel, and mutter to yourself 'gay, not fixed' if it's not fixed.
