Bikes: A few

I use to do fixed gear conversions, but stopped because they were not worth the small profit when I had to spend much more to build them. For me I won't do it ghetto and always used a real set of flip/flop track wheels and always with a front brake. I normally sold them for $250-350, but often had $200+ into building one of them. During the time I was building them a few summers ago Bikeisland was selling complete track wheelsets with tires, tubes, cog, and lockring for $120 shipped. I think the closest thing they have no is at least $20+ more. I personally found it easier and more profittable to just fix them up stock or part them out to someone that wants to build their own fixed gear.

And as part of the thread here are the last three complete bikes I have sold.

Late 80's Miele Doral sold for $300


1980 Schwinn Traveler sold for $160


85' PH501 sold for $225
