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)

I can't believe how much people will pay for a Colnago. Don't get me wrong, it looks nice, but that's big money.

That is cheap for a bike like that selling . You should seen when it was selling back then, it may have been $1500.

Yeah, even down to the bar plugs.

I'm with labratmatt about that Welter though. Give it a good cleaning, new saddle and bars...

yes, the welter definitely has possibilities. in the cottered crank vein, though, i'm still reeling over this amadei. seven bills was just too much (that was the opening bid), but ooh la la, as the french (allegedly) say.

new ones with those puke paintjobs

S/F,

That Colnago sold for $910, not really that much for a complete ride, especially a Colnago. People are paying more than that for complete Surlys....

Curious---what key search terms does everyone use in ebay to narrow down the list to bikes with good fixed potential? I always feel like I'm missing something when I try to find something more specific than just "bike."

I just search my frame size(s) and hit the "search items and descriptions", narrowing my search to cycling.

There was a 50's Urago track bike a while back I seriously lusted after, but it wasn't my size . I think the seller had it with a lowish buy it now, but nobody bought it whole so he broke it down and sold it that way.

A word of warning: check with the sellers re:shipping if nothing is listed. Just checked with the gitane seller, and he wants 120$ to ship the bike from Kansas to Virginia (about 40-75$ is right, depending on if a bike shop packs it or the seller does). 120$ is a bit on the pricey side, frankly.

Isn't any IF bike a classic? https://boston.craigslist.org/bik/49828682.html

Still, it'd be cooler with steeper angles.
