Hi,

Im after an entry level fixed gear, can be bought as bits which I'll build up or as a complete bike. Nothing too special, budget is around £150 or so

Cheers,
Rob

Hi Matt, sorry, just seen this. I'm interested if this bike is still available? Please can you PM me?

Thanks

Jackc, can you build a bike of similar spec for less? If so I'd appreciate some tips.

It's running 52/20 right now which is easy. I ride 48/16 usually. I just wanted to reuse the crank. Yeah 52/17 would be tough, but it's just a £5 cog..

Will take off gumtree if that's frowned on here, didn't think it'd be an issue..

In fact might be better to take it off here. Consider it done

Wheel is in pretty good condition, some minor pitting but no rust. Runs true

pictures here, have dropped them in with photos of fixed gear bike I've just built. will try and make a separate folder later

£15

Having a clear out of my shed and found a lovely vintage front wheel. It is standard size (700c) and will fit any bike.

It comes with a used but ok tyre (with tan sidewall) and is inflated to correct pressure.

The wheel is a Rigida Chromix (French) in decent condition, the rim is true and the hub runs free and smooth.

Comes with spindle, nuts etc, ready to be bolted on and ridden

PM me if you'd like a picture

Hi,

I'm looking to find a single speed bike for my other half who is 5'10ish. Looking for a complete or semi-complete bike, but not wanting to spend too much so maybe an old raleigh or equivalent.

If you've got anything kicking around that might do then please drop me a message.

Cheers,
Rob

Awesome, thank you all for the advice, sounds like SPD-SL are the way to go, will get some Shimano 105s from Merlin

Very interesting, thank you for the advice. Whilst I've kept everything else period on the bike, I'm now beginning to think that pedals might be an exception - purely down to comfort and practicality.

What are the best modern systems out there?

Hi,

I'm looking for some advice on what pedals would work well and look right on a vitus 979.

I am currently using shimano 600s with cages, but I'm now looking into getting clip in pedals and shoes for longer rides. Does anyone have any advice on what I should be looking for (80s era)?

If so please send me a PM

Thanks,
Rob

Just measured it with vernier callipers and it came to exactly 123mm

the body itself is 79mm

Apologies for the late reply, I checked this morning and postage to Germany would be £2.70 (unregistered and not traced) and £8 to have it tracked.

Ok, I'll get a quote for you today, will send you a PM

Any offers on any other items? Otherwise will list them on the bay

Sold

still available at the moment

The sticker says Paul Milnes - which I think is a bike shop in Bradford, so perhaps they resprayed the frame. The frame is certainly Reynolds 531 tubing though, with lovely campag dropouts.

Had quite a fair bit of interest in this frame - could easily be replayed in the colour of your choice if you're not a fan of yellow ; - )
