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)

Winners were 80s entry level 10-speeds with steel wheels and low-end drivetrains, but decent frames. Fixed conversion seems to be the way to go from where I'm standing.

ive got a silver winner, used to be my dads bike. i like it a lot but dont ride it much as it doesnt fit me super well and doesnt track straight anymore.

out of curiousity it looks like youve still got the tubing sticker on the seat tube, what does it say?

54/16

I have a 54/20 now but it is still pretty beefy and deserving of the s&cb dust cap.

Thats interesting, so far its the only other winner I have heard of. The frame is great, a tad bit too big but strong. The steer tube has bent on me and I think it has done it again to the point of locking the headtube up on turns.... New fork?

my frame has been a tank, the fork bent twice on me so it was replaced (the second time one side of the crown actually bent). thats probably a big part of why the handling sucks on my winner now, as i think the rake is not right on the new fork.

they were definitly cheap bike boom bikes with steel rims and stem shifters and cottered cranks, but the frame would be sweet as a ss/fg or even as a touring bike.

touring, really? It has a place for a rack to attatch but what about fenders?
