Hello.
i am new to the forum.
i ll be visiting london next week and would like to buy a fixed gear bike.if there is a flip flop availability things would be much better.
i tried searching ebay but everything seemed to expensive or too crappy.
i v seen some things on gumtree.but cant tell which ones worth.
i know a lot about road bikes and mountain bikes, but nothing at all about fixed gear bikes.
i saw some bikes like this one.

but can't understand why this one aint good (i really dont like th colour but what else appart from that)
thanks in advance for any replies.
cheers

Hi all,

I am wondering is it entirely safe to ride a freewheel screwed on a track hub which is having shorter thread then the freewheel?

It goes on easily and all seams fine but just want to make sure that it's gonna be alright before making some stupid mistake.
Cheers:-)

I have a pair of tiagra triple 9 speed shifters for drop bars. flight deck compatible. Hope it helps :-)

Hi all,
I am looking for a 700c front wheel.
Preferably not the old style chromed one and not expensive one :-)
If you have any surplus to your need please let me know
cheers

just measure the lenght of the original one and the shell size on the frame (68mm or 73mm) and then buy any square taper bb like shimano rpm or alike for a tenner :-)

considering buying....any suggestions?

http://www.gumtree.com/london/51/34024351.html

cheers dudes.

looks nice, but it's quite expensive imho.

My other half would like this. I'll take it off your hands and get myself into the good books.

Another forumite PM'd yesterday and called today so for the moment it's reserved.
I'll let you know if anything changes:-)

I think people are forgetting that its compact geometry so the CC means jack all. If its a 43, it's more likely to be an XS as taken from the giant site. So would suit 5'5 and smaller?

Thank you very much for the table :-)
According to my tape measure it's 43cm.
I see that Giant advertises it as 42 than so I accept that as the actual size.

that would make a great bike for doing trick actually.

Dofo not for an elephant like me 6ft3" and 240 lbs :-)

It really is nice though

Anyone ? :-)

That's a childs bike frame... right?

No, as reculver said it's a small adults frame with standard fittings for 700c wheels.

Cheers

Hi all,
I got a nice small giant bowery frame 43cm with it's original fork and aheadset laying in my shed for quite a few months.

It is a normal adult frame for small person. It accepts 700c track or flip flop wheels. Very nice condition, no crashes or so.

I didn't have time to collect all the bits to complete a bike so it's up for grabs now.

It will make a really nice bike for smaller person.

I am based at reading but can organize delivery to London or Oxford (free of charge) or post it nationwide by courier at cost

The price is £100

Any question please ask

dibs on the wheels if still there :-)

dibs on the wheels :-)

How much for the brake levers posted (uk mainland )?
Cheers
