Looking for a fixed rear wheel for my bike, just something cheap and cheerful to get me from a to b. A lock ring and cog would be nice but not essential.

Located in N4 but will travel within reason.

I'm going to the restrap launch at Tokyo fixed so I'll check out their frames when I'm there, but from the pictures the F2 looks like really nice.

Is there any stores over here that stock Iro's? I'm london based but I guess I can travel.

I own one and love it!! In the photo it is running a 25c rear tyre and a 23c front but you would just be able to fit a 25 on the front. Its very nice to ride but alot different to the surly it replaced, steeper angles shorter rake on the fork are the reason.
The frame is still quite comfortable on rougher terrain(gravel paths, gentle bridal ways) the only problem i have had with the bike is mud/leaves/stones getting stuck up behind the fork but that is when riding off road and the bike isn't really designed for that?!

Here it is;

The frame looks really sleek and simple.

Whats the clearance between the front tyre and the bridge of the fork like?

The Cinelli is nice, and better than the 2010 model IMHO due to better steel. Lots of options at that price point though. £450 Condor Potenza in Deda 12.5, £420ish Bob Jackson in 631, £475 new Brother track frame in 631, the new Tokyo Fixed s2 in Thron is only £350, and is very nice, though speaking to them on Saturday, I think almost sold out.

All of these are similar grades of steel, and all are similar frames. Not sure where the Cinelli is made, I suspect Taiwan like the TF and Brother, the BJ is made in the UK and the Condor in Italy. The question is, which do you like the most? I'd be very tempted by the Condor or the Brother.

I'm going to do a bit of research into each of those, the pictures of the Condor look beautiful.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the Iro frames? I know there slightly cheaper, but I was just wondering about the geo of them and material used.

Two people riding up crouch end hill today around lunchtime, one with a white frame and rear spoke and the other with a leader i think it was a whitey green. Anyone off here?

I spotted the white one down holloway a few weeks ago as well but it slipped my mind.

I've been looking for a new frame and have come across the Gazzetta. I haven't found much out about them, customer opinions etc, has anyone tried or own one?

If so what are the clearances like on the bike?

Is there any similar alternatives around the £500 mark, I'm quiet flexible on that price though.

Thanks

Is it the same dimensions as this?

Any news on the sale of this?

Really annoyed im working this weekend but ill be finished around 6, would it still be worth heading over to watch?

I'm looking for a reasonably cheap fixed gear rear hub or wheel preferably located in london.

I'm open to anything reasonably cheap at the moment, and it doesn't have to be in pristine condition.

Many thanks,

Sloth

Are the '80s Campy Hubs suitable to run a fixed gear or just a cassette? I'm not to knowledgeable yet with hubs yet.

Wouldn't mind getting my hands on a couple of those.

Hi everyone, I'm Oliver. I've been lurking around the forum for ages now, but I've only just got hold of a worthy bike. I now have a peugeot equipe which I've just shortened the chain to convert to single speed and feel worthy of being on her.
I did attempt to fit a fixed gear cog to it but came across a few problems on doing so, and have heard that it's not possible to use the original hub.
Anyway enough about that, I'll most probable encounter some more problems along the way, so I'll be calling four help soon.

I've been lurking on here for ages now, getting info about my first fixie, which will hopefuly be a Fuji track 2010 when ive finaly got my act together.
I'm a student from crouch end, so if anyones from round there and wants to ride let me know because i've seen a few bikes locked up round the area so its good to know im not alone and would be nice to put a face to some users and bikes. Im going to try and head down to the north drinks as soon as I get my bike, but am legaly unable to drink, so it will be a well awaited coke after the climb to the flask.

Thanks,
Oliver
