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)

Help an old schooler build a fixie

Hello

I`ve been lurking for a few weeks but this is my first post and I need a bit of help figuring exactly what I need to purchase to complete my first fixed gear bike.

I have an old Lotus Excelle and also an old Raleigh Supercourse that I rescued from the trash. I`d like to convert both to fixed gear bikes. I plan to get wheelsets from bicyclewheels.com . What other little parts will I need to think about to complete my project? I`m new to this fixed gear thing and very interested in trying it out.

Thanks
Glenn
