My first fixie
 

Ok - so I lied. It is really a single-speed:

The real story - I'm getting a reputation as "the bike guy" that is starting to get out of hand. One of my wife's clients asked if she could bring a couple of bikes around for me to work on. I said "sure". She showed up with this little thing, and a somewhat larger little girl's bike to boot.

I spent an hour on these two little junkers, cleaning off rust, lubing, adjusting the training wheels, etc.

Good Fun.

Dig the track dropouts

Is that a Turbo saddle?

Flip it.

Hahaha good eye.

Why the hell does a little kid's bike have track dropouts?

I thought you'd be buying the Motobecane on craigslist...Its 120$ you will know the one I'm talking about. If I had the cash I'd consider it. Check it out if it didn't sell.

Oh and WTF...Why didn't you lace up some phil hubs and rattle can the existing rims gold?

... because, its just a little bmx. ( ... & all bmx bikes are like that . )

/ track fork. : o )

Really? All BMXs have track dropouts?

fork is bent.

Drew it, and don't forget the Aerospoke.

No, It's backwards

Training wheels are evil.

Sarcasam meter broken, so no reply ...

Is that bike small enough for me to ride?

I like the shiny rims :) .

East Hill

Also, that fork isnt bent OR backwards ... its just, made in china ... : (

So now we know what's on the inside of that famed garage door.

Almost all of these tiny kid bikes and BMX bikes are single speed so there's no derailleur, no chain tensioner and vertical dropouts wouldn't work; probably not enough room in the rear end for horizontal dropouts, so track ends make perfect sense.

For reals? Does that mean I have to take them off my bikes??


No,no...anything but that..

The chainguard is ON FIRE!!!!

All of BBM's garage door shots are from the inside.

You need those dropouts to tension the single speed chain correctly. Everyone knows that. Sweet ride.
needs a Sella Italia saddle.

If that were 3cm smaller I'd be trying to coerce one of you into picking it up and shipping it for me.

BBM, you should have took a pic on it!

Please. "Track Ends."

I've been dinged on that before. :wtf:
