After realising that my 60cm frame is too big i'm hoping someone has a 57cm track frame that they are willing to part with.

Must be 1" threaded.

Hope you can help.

Hi, first post, I'm building up my first fixed gear bike and was wondering whether this is a reasonable/legit deal:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/IRO-Rob-Roy-Fixed-Gear-Singlespeed-Frame-Fork-NEW_W0QQitemZ250349867567QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR?hash=item250349867567&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1301|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318

Obviously IRO frames are known to be pretty good, and the frames pictured seem to be pretty much identical when comparing but the unmarked-ness makes me slightly more cautious. I would guess they were bought in a group buy or something.
I don't want to end up with a unipack-esque frame by accident :P

Cheers,

Olly

You'll buy it then want to take all the pointless braze ons off and be upset that you bought what is essentially a trials bike frame.

Snot picking up dust yes,

Snot showing up harmful emmissions i doubt it.

Long term effects other than of black snot..... i imagine so.

Same on that Ken. Almost bid and had no way of picking it up for about 3 weeks.

More than i wanted to pay as the wheels etc where surplus.

how come the final bike has different dropouts ?

Because Thats not the frame. Thats a road bike conversion hipster style to ss. Different frame. That got sold last month to fund the rest of my build.

Matt.

Thats the frame built up with some bits to see what it would look like.

ooh oooh do you have it in white??

Would really appreciate it.

sorry to hijack thread.

Ok. going through pm's cheers for the response.

Oh what i would say is i'm off out now but will reply to Pm's etc when i get back later.

Cheers.

Haven't really got a price in mind I'm still seething over the fact that my build is too bloody big.

As i said i'm open to offers.

After offering a few parts up today and sitting on the bike i've realised that it's too big no matter what i tell myself.

It's been powder coated recently in black and is ready to set up.

I'm leaving the campag chorus headset and shimano bottom bracket with it.

Open to sensible offers.

Could arrange delivery to london but would have to be hounslow west tube and at buyers cost or postage, its gonna be around £20.00 either way. (I live in swindon)

Pics can be found at http://truefixation.blogspot.com/

If anyone requires more pics let me know as still has wheels on to get an idea of clearances.

brakeless look FTW (coaster brake, before some of you leap at me!)

I know I upload too many bloody photos, but fuck it, it's my first proper build, and it's not even for me!

Looks amazing!!! more photos if anything. Subtle style for miles.

Well impressed.

its all been done before.

I've seen a similar vid recently just didnt have the backwards wheelie.

"I love her! tell her i love her......I've got to go"

I'm going to google everything that i've been thinking about.

1.tricks.
2.porn.
3.trickporn.

Spangly leotards? I take it all back.. if there's spangly leotards involved I want in! Do TrixieDix endorse a particular brand?

I heard there in between sponsors, angel delight is out in favour of birds custard.

'Sweet tricks'

makes me laugh that people think it's a "new" thing

for the sake of fuck, people have been doing tricks on bikes since bikes were invented, and guess what sort of drivetrain those early bikes had?

Circus style bicycle tricks have been around for 100+ years, they still use a fixed drivetrain nowadays.

the only new thing is hipsters skidding and trackstanding in a car park, hardly going to set the bicycle tricks world alight is it..

Just takes one person with a different perspective.

Someone with optimism and enthusiasm.

And everything changes.

stacy Peralta.

Rodney mullen.

Batman.

After a few more coats of lacquer (and a proper camera instead of a phone camera pic) it's almost there :D

Fuck me running!! that looks awesome. It's textured right? and hows the caramel and walnut in the middle? making it tasty but heavier.

[quote=Buddha Fingaz;427873]However that video of the German guy riding a fixed in all kinds of incredible ways quote]

Do you have a link to said video?

Seems people are jaded about tricks and track bikes i think it could work out well.

I think that bunnyhop bar spins or riding transition (anything leaning towards bmx) looks ugly. But i think theres room for it to develop in its own way more towards a flatland style.

Glad to see a bit of positive feedback.

I'll enjoy what i'm doing for the moment.

With track bike riding being in it's infancy in terms of tricks i wondered what people would expect to see in 2009. And what do you think is possible but you just haven't seen it done.

Back ped wheelies was my first (i know it pulls the front down but has anyone seen this done?)

Also skidding on banks? i've been trying to pull skids on a tight bank in town, got close a few times, i think it could be done with enough speed and balance.

So many ideas so little dry days at the mo.

Really hoping it will take a different direction than bmx in terms of tricks.

If this has all been done on a vid i haven't seen i apologise. And i apologise now for the ramblings i just wanted to hear others ideas.

Check your PM's

had mine nearly 3 months, still loads of wear left, most decent tyres have only lasted me a month, gotta be worth it.

Are you a vittoria rep ;)

Because you've sold them to me pretty much.

vittoria rondonuer or whatever they are called are just as good me thinks, and only 12.99 to boot.

Might have a ganders.

I've got the exact same tyre on a deep V. Not sure how wide the H plus Son's are, but those tyres are amazing on the V. Zero punctures since April.

Right then.....top contact it is.

*gets coat heads for LBS**

£40 for a folding which i will puuuurchase 2 of, skint but the saying goes. "buy cheap buy twice" and the person that first said that was right.

I never thought I´d spend 110 quid in 10 minutes at Condor;

God i wish that all cost £110.00

What out of that lot did you get then.

I was messing. I work in Bassett.

Pretty non existant for fixed gear riding round here. I'll Pm you.

Also how much you looking for for the peugeot? I have a tall mate who might be interested.

Does make sense. Alas I am a bike size fool. My usual technique involves going to the bike shop and asking for a big one. I shall check Sheldon and do a measuring tonight. In the mean time, I'm 6'2 and it fits me legwise in the pictured configuration. And no i WONT come for a ride with you unklesouth

Ok fine i understand :)
