Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - Tight Bikes!

there have been threads asking people to post their japanese bikes, italian bikes, english bikes, french bikes, and others. sadly i don't own one, but am a huge fan of tight ss/fg bikes.

so... begin!

yes! those are the types of bikes i want to see pics of. though the back wheel could be tighter, but still.
oh so hot.

do you mean tight tire clearances?

hmm...

do you mean tight tire clearances?

tight tire clearances and tight geometry (i guess that's what it could be called)

currently searching google for a good example...

Thanks, ya.. it's mine. This one is a bit tighter, actually -- rear wheel isn't fully inserted to give the full effect tho.

have some of the tightest tire clearances i've seen. neither is mine, though someone on this board own(ed) that de rosa before it was ruthlessly stolen.

god, that brooks saddle adds +10 points to the beauty of an already beau velo...

hey, didn't you see the comment i made on another thread?
that bike, i find very aesthetically pleasing; the fork/stem/handlebar combo is amazing. but in general, the GT seat stays perplex me (not sure as to whether i like or don't like them)

:(

the red rims are a bit too much... I would have said "when" and chosen no-painted rims...

and that's where you would be wrong.

Not to be pedantic or anything, but I believe there is already a bike pic thread.

This is my bike :)

Fairly tight... I know, I know... I've since got rid of the bottle cage...

With one less link in the chain, the rear tire clears the seat tube by about 1/8in. It should also be noted that I have to run a 19mm or 20mm tire up front to clear the fork crown.

Oooo lawdy!

This bike is actually one of my favorites off of Velospace. IMO anything else added to it would make it over the top.

12XU, i just noticed your sig. . . our basso's were separated at birth, maybe? thanx 4 the compliments guys:)

pics from my old Alma Pura. This is tight!

S/F,
CEYA!

Only just finished this, ridden on rollers but not hit the track yet due to the insane weather over here blowing bits off my local Velodrome!

Thats beautiful DaSy. Do you have any information on that frame? I had no idea Peugeot made track frames.

I have since changed the handlebars and stem to something a little more classy

That chain is sexy as hell on that bike. Hell, that bike is sexy anyway!

Hell yes!

Hey Shiznaz, Cyclops is gone now, right? I know Mike Mulholland died, but I didn't hear if his son continued the shop or not...

Yeah, Cyclops is unfortunately no more. His son has not continued to make frames. He is a nice guy though (I bought the frame directly from him).
