Thanks, i thought i might get loads of answers on here?
I'd be happy to find a steel frame with horisontal dropouts right now, i thought that there would be something like an entry level velodrome bike?
Or is the Fort Track 7005 entry level?
The Kona Paddy wagon is looking good at the right price but i think its more a hybrid?
Am i on the right track.....

Hi Clara, i call the 'non emergency line' often or used to as we had alot of local trouble where i live, they are there for you to log any incident, if it is bad enough to concern you, if you are injured even more so, i would call them back and try again and if no joy ask to speak to a suppervisor, they need to log it if you want it logged.

Ok, my 24 hours is up and i have been trawling around, but cannot get all the answers im after.
If i have missed a tread please point me in the right direction.
I am a lover of the single speed thing, i used to ride fixed gear after my dad made himself one, real basic, steel frame, probley a bit big for me at the time, but i now own lovely legs. :)
So here is my dilema, its 25 years on im looking to get fit and ride something i like, i was given a mountain bike by my brother and whipped off the gears the moment i could, so have been riding that and yeah its ok....

I also have various other bikes mostly BMX variations, i'll add some pics at the end.So i am now looking for something a bit more true to what i remember enjoying, but the world of single speed has become very commercial?
It would be graet to think i could get my hands on a simple track style frame steel would do but if i can get alloy even better, that i can stick some track style 700's on with a flip flop hub and off i go.
I have always build bikes (a legacy from my dad) so my kids and wife have to put up with lots of bits about but always have usable bikes.
So i am seeing alot of similar stuff but the prices are very different and the descriptions all seem similar, i understand componants are the key (i have a shed full)



all look great, the price ranges from £160-£500?
But how close are any of these to a track bike really?
Should i bee looking for something more like these....


I'm just a bit lost, i'm a great ebay lover and cannot help thinking i should just get a 'fixie' that comes with the straight bars and flip/flop as standard second hand and see how i go, but i cant help thinking i will still want something more velodrome?
Let me know your thoughts, my biggest problem i spose is price, 3 kids 2 cars and one income, thats why i build stuff from parts begged borrowed and bootsaled.
Thanks,
Steve
just a few pics for fun, all mine...
