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 kinda like how the gold on your rims(at least in the portrait) isnt all obnoxiously tacky like most of the gold-colored parts i see on peoples bikes. great job!

Diggin' it! Can you provide specifics on the frame? What year & model? What size tires are those? And how wide of a tire do you think you could fit?

I'm looking for a lugged frame with room for wide tires (hopefully 700x40) and maybe fenders.

Thats probably an 80s Univega road frame. On both of my older bikes from the 70s I can fit full fenders with up to 35mm tires. You will probably need to look for an old rando/touring frame to fit 40mm tires with fenders, especially if you want 27/700c wheels. Most old frames will have clearances for larger tires though.

i really dont understand why most entry level steel "track" frames don't come with bottle bosses when they are marketed towards people who will ride them on the road....

Its a Univega Nuvo Sport, not sure on the year. I have 38s on it now. I think you could squeeze 40's in there.
