I built my wife up a nice Raleigh Fixed gear and she rode it once and said she hated it because you can't coast. Sigh! She says, "it must be a guy thing". Go figure. Any Way, to the item at hand. This bike was one I had laying around from 1986. A KHS hardtail lugged dirt bike. I ground off all the fittings and set it up as a single speed bike. This was before the current craze of single speed had come into flower. I currently has Paul 36 hole hubs with 18 tooth rear cog and Shimano 36 tooth Chainring on Shimano arms and un-72 BB. Bear Paw pedals and Avid V brakes and levers. Brooks B-67 saddle and Carridice junior Saddle bag. Mavic 517 rims and 32 mm Avocet cross tires. I gave it to my wife and she loves it. She won't ride anything else. Painted Moltini Orange and ready for the dirt. Very relaxed angles as you could throw a dead cat between the rear wheel and the seat tube. I doubt you could throw a live one or even if you should want to. Now if I could get her to ride fixed gear.
