Here's my generic Schwinn WorldSport conversion. Total cost was around $350, I love it, now I just need to find more people to ride with... It's 42-15, which is a tad too low, if anyone in chicago has a 44 or 46 they want to trade or sell, let me know

my nishiki century from early to mid 80s i found in a dumpster and built up into a fixed gear.

Why is part of that photo morphing through time?

The Tardis is about to arrive.

greengnt, you need a brake.

i've been riding this set up for a few months and it's been fine without the brake. i've thought about putting my flat bars back on and putting on a goldfinger lever and a canti brake.

why do you think i need a brake, the gear ratio?

switched out the profile design stem and nitto bullhorn combination
for the SR Sakae stem and Chopped down risers with Oury Grips.

yes, that looks like a rather steep ratio, and i assumed that you were new to fixed. everyone should start off riding fixed with a brake.

brakes are also pretty. [i'm 100% serious]

i agree with brakes looking pretty. a little trick you can do is take paint pens to the brake arms then do a clear coat and it looks really nice.

i'm slightly new to fixed but i ride every day and through riding bmx for years i have the balance and strength to skid stop and track stand so i felt comfortable without a brake.

whats up with the bars green? they're pretty sweet, but I can't quite tell how they're angled.

does this work? it's christmas all over again.
umm, my bike is smaller than everyone else on this page, not thread but page.

lwl - i like how you did the diamond wrap and even had it fade like the paint. nice touch!

What bike did the Dura-Ace cranks go on?

looks a lot like this bike:
