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 think I would at least want cranks for that price. I am not sure what SR model the frame is (was), but you may have basically bought some used deep Vs.

mannn...the frame is in really good condition aside from some scratches...no dings or bends. the wheel set has basically been ridden for 1 month, but yeah i guess i jumped the gun a little. i already have an extra set of peddles, so i guess im not out too much...

Bah. Doesn't come with the bars. Someone should ask if the spokecards are included though.

If that's your size, then I think that's a perfect frame for conversion, and the price is certainly fair.

I can't quite read the name off the bike, but it looks like its decent quality (judging by the welding in the frame). But i could be totally wrong. What would be a reasonable offer, and would this be a worth while fixed gear conversion?

Thanks!

I believe that says Benotto on the side. It's a good looking bike; probably nicer componentry and bar-end shifters!

I know this isn't a SS or FG but was wondering if anyone thought this was a good deal. It's a 1990. I wouldn't mind having a geared bike.

Thanks

You are correct, i just got an e-mail back from him, going to go check out the bike tonight, do you think $100 is reasonable? or should i be offering more? less?

Well i missed out on that deal, but someone is selling a
55cm Lemond Maillot Jaune frameset for $250
https://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/bik/662644067.html

Is this a good deal? would it be a good frame to use for a fixed gear conversion?

Thanks!

[edit] wait a minute, why does that frame look nothing at all like: https://asheville.craigslist.org/bik/608345769.html
or any other pictures i can find of Lemond Maillot Jaune bikes from that era.
Something smells fishy.

I believe the one in Asheville is the European aluminum version, while the Vancouver bike is North American steel. The LeMond would make a very poor fixed gear conversion, but a very find road bike.

Glad i didn't buy it then. gonna try and win this auction instead, although, i might be making it harder for myself by posting it here.
