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)

The Place to post sticker bikes and beaters

Every time I see a locked up bike covered in stickers or with a nice worn patina, I get inspired to build build up a bike to sticker up. Post up your pictures of sticker bikes and beaters! Stickered up frames, the more the better! Beat up daily riders too!

My winter beater is finished, except for seat and post, but not a top priority. It was sticker bombed but meh..... Only tested it in the driveway cuz the snow, but tomorrow it goes to the train with me. Frame is too big but it's just a couple of miles.

I like bikes like this because it's a reminder that bikes are meant to be ridden.
If I ever build up a nice bike, consider it likely that it will be well 'loved'.

Not a sticker bike, but this is the closest I've come to a beater bike. Total cost was $53.95, which was for the frameset. Everything else was from my parts bin, and the townie bars are hacked off bullhorns.

I've heard of hacking off road bars to get bullhorns, but this is the first time I've heard of making townies by hacking off bullhorns.
