Here is my first fixed gear bike. It's a conversion and changing all the time.

i believe this

winner

That's a direct drive not fixed gear. Nice try though.
Here is my first:

My '77 MASI geared 42 x 15, converted from a road bike.

Rick/ OCRR

Ok, ALMOST done, but can't wait to post the pics... Here's my "2nd" fixed project (1st only kind of counts...I bought a converted Schwinn Varsity, haha).

Unknown 56cm frame (looks like SE Lager/Windor Hour/Dawes SST), but it's matte black with Ritchey 1 1/8 threadless headset & unknown stem (120mm): AlexRim 390 on back to Formula fix/free hub with 16T Fixed Surly Cog & unknown 16T freewheel (never flopped it to SS). Front is Mavic Cosmo (need to match wheels). Trans-X bullhorns 44cm, Kalin seatpost with Velo Plush seat, held by salsa liplock. FSA Vero cranks with Pyramid platform/SPDs. Tektro 4.1 lever (black "matching" brake on the way). Blue KMZ Chain.

Headed to LBS this weekend to cut fork & get the spacers on there.

Not sure what I want for wheels. Maybe some black Deep Vs with Orange formula hubs. Waiting on some Orange Origin8 track pedals, blue MKS toeclips & straps.

Currently running 39/16, but have 42 & 44 chainring on way ... don't know what gearing I want/need...once I figure out, will likely get Blue ANO Messenger chainring.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Complaints? It's my first "from scratch" fixed gear project & haven't completed yet. Looking forward to getting a ride in, but it's 18 degrees with a fresh inch of snow today ... ugh.

first and only so far!

it was a Raleigh i found at a thrift store for 15 bucks.. i think at that point i had about 20 bucks invested in it... between a cog and some matte black..... i rode this beast until things started braking slowly... cranks.......pedals........seat.........tire...... then wheelset.....

My first track bike was a Schwinn Madison. I was 7 or 8 at the time.

I made my first two fixed gear conversions (a Trek 1000 then a F. Moser) back in 2001 or 2002 before digital cameras were popular so I don't have any snaps.

My first fixed gear conversion:
42 X 16 gearing



Total of $225 Canadian invested into it.
Yes I need foot retention of some sort, but it'll have to wait until I can afford a new set of clips/pedals...That should be in the next week or two.

My first fixie was a converted Fuji Special Road Racer. Horrible rattle can paint. Cheap fixed/free wheelset. Bulletproof cranks. Bontrager Race Lite bars chopped crazy short. Spare parts box build. It was fun though.

deshi? like the boot company?

Boot company? Not sure what your talking about but I know nothing about boots.

iphone pic sorry
(Schwinn world conversion)

mine.

x2...mine was an older model 64-65 vintage with red/white front fender and black rubber pedals. I believe it also had tassles on the bar ends.

Handed down to me by a friend, and now I have handed it down to my little brother so he can get into riding fixed gears.

Well if we are counting direct drive I had one of these.


Then I split the wheel in half crashing into **** and then cried.

Sweet AEROSPOKKE

Here is my pista.

i had the night rider version! it was badass!

I had a GreenMachine!

PEEESTA.

We are not counting direct drive cause everyone had a big wheel or a trike!!!!

Unless you rode a penny farthing, now that's ******!!!
