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)

building a fixie

hi, im about to build my own fixie but dont want to splash out on a new frame, does anyone know if u can convert a racer (14 speed) to a single gear or is the back wheel spacing too big once you have removed all the gear cogs? Thanks
