I've heard that you can do barspins with BMX bikes. You might want to look into that.

Why does it bother you so much that i want to throw down a barspin on my fixed gear?

My 61cm Windsor The Hour had enough DT clearance for barspins but I don't know about smaller sizes. Bar spins get old. I wouldn't advise spending too much time or money on it.

I know that the larger IRO Angus can be bar-spun... so can the Pista Concepts.
That's it, off the top of my head.

I try to stay as far away from barspins as i can. It sounds like a recipe for getting ****ed up.
bar spins and wheelies are the coolest **** ever!

why do you guys post the same **** over and over again? just read the ****ing site, you'll get all the info you need. it's like you want to be crucified just so you can claim ownership of something. you want to barspin, then ****ing barspin. it's obvious what you need to do it, so just go get it and go do it. stop asking stupid questions. posting on a website about barspins doesn't = barspins

The IRO's need pretty small tires (like, maybe smaller than 23's) to Bar-spin, the Concept's need 650 fronts.

bra spin:
Upside down hook & spin method -
It sounds strange, but I have an associate who swears by this method.
1. Wrap your bra around your waist inside out and upside down. Hook the closure. Make note of the location of the bra's label (e.g. side seam, back).
2. Turn your bra (in this technique it doesn't matter what direction you turn it) until the front of your bra is centered.
3. Flip the bra up so that the bra band is right side out and resting directly under the breasts.
4. Slip the shoulder straps over your shoulders.
5. Run your finger along the area where the bra's label is to make sure it is lying smooth and flat against your skin.
6. Tug downward on the back of the bra so that it rests beneath the shoulder blades. The line of the bra should be horizontal from front to back.
7. Bend over at the waist and ease your breasts into the cups. One technique is to pull the band down and shake until the breasts fall into place. Another technique is to move the breast around with your hand until it is satisfactorily in the cup. Your nipples should be centered into the fullest point of the cup, and the cup should completely contain the breast (with the exception of push-up and demi cup styles). If your bra has a center seam, make sure your nipple is on the seam - this will reduce your nipples from showing.
8. Stand upright and visually check to see that your breasts are in the proper position.
NOTE: It may take you a couple of extra seconds to figure out the starting bra position, at least until you are used to this technique.
dude it used to take me forever to get bras off. so embarassing.
eddie has mastered nipple seam alignment
word on the street anyway

whoever thought it would be a sweet idea to do flatground barspins on a fixed gear should be shot. freestyle fixed gear riding should be left to those gnarly europeans with that flatland craziness you see on youtube.

Does anybody know if there is a frame around 53 that can barspin without 650 wheels?

pretty sure an iro angus or mark v, the brooklyn machine works frame, and maybe raleigh rush hours can. i think my 54ish windsor hour could if i had a 700x20 tire up front.

or get a 650c on any frame. but beware, you'll still have toe overlap... Here's a jenky-ass video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqIkGrv23_Q) I posted on Youtube.
