Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Decent, budget frameset?
Looking to get a new steel frame.. at least with Reynolds 520 tubing... currently have 4130 tubing Felt frame. What budget frames are out there? I've seen the Wabi classic frame and it's really tempting, but slightly out of my budget

I found unbranded kilo tt frames for 200

It would help if you could define your budget.

Pretty much. Aside from Bikes Direct/Bike Island stuff, there's Pake. I can't think of anything else of the top of my head. Look around for clearance sales?

News flash: Reynolds 520 and 4130 are the same steel!
