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)

Perfect IRO fixed/freewheel. Had it 6 months and has rarely been ridden. It is blacked out with blue tape. It comes with both Tektro brakes, system 2 pedals with foot loops, C9 seat, Deep V Velocity Rims, FSA -Orbit gyro. I am 5'11" and it fits me great. Does not include bike lock or lights. Come take a look at it.
The funny thing is, there is a black IRO, that has been on craigslist for months now, and it's only $250.

I am looking for a bicycle mechanic, or bike handy individual to install my Velo Orange metal fenders.

I have tried, but they are kind of tricky and my skills are not up to the challenge when someone can do it better and faster. I've been told you need a repair stand, some decent tools.

This is the fender set: https://store.velo-orange.com/index.p...d-fenders.html

I have a 46" frame Surly Cross Check.

I will have printed instructions for you.

Can you come this Saturday or Sunday? I live in Chinatown-Strathcona area. I can also come to you if you are not too far out of this hood.

Will pay $40.
Fenders are tricky, took me awhile to install mine.

But $40? Would it cost more than that to just get it done at a LBS?

Yea, it's more expensive than a shop for sure. He could pay $5 and use the stuff at the co-op if he can finish in an hour.

It seems like a scam though, Strathcona neighbourhood is kind of sketchy at places...

Need the funds so unfortunately need this to go. It is a rare item and very difficult to find. Composted of carbon composite so it is very durable. Much more durable than an hed3 but lighter than an aerospoke. Perfect for street usage. Previously used for time trials by the previous owner. Still spins true and smooth!

No tube and tire.
Comes with quick release

375 firm

It's not worth that much especially if you consider its age and mysterious past.... $250 tops, and I'm pushing it hard already.

Custom factory frame. What is custom is the down tube shifters, heavier duty canti posts, and integrated seat clamps. All the parts are period correct except seats and tires. Small dent in top tube. i painted the bike myself. No headbadge or decals.

Campy 700c wheels,shifters and front deraileur. Mafac brakes with mint boots. Cinelli bar and stem. Sugino Mighty Tour 171mm cranks that are in mint condition. New tires and tubes. New chains. New cables and housings. New grip tape.

I completely restored this bike. It rides very well.

1500.00 OBO

This is a lemond CX bike - the proprad. Cantis, not discs. Should have a 1" headtube. $100.

This isn't SSFG either, but it IS a reynolds 853/725 mix, if I remember correctly. I used to have a Lemond Zurich from the same year (all 853, save the chainstays), and it rode like a dream. My zurich tipped the scales at ~18lb with a weight weenie parts mix.

Hey I'm selling a custom build project fixed gear i built last summer. its pretty much new and barely ridden, I put over $1100 into it and need the cash. I didnt get to ride it as much as i would have liked, but desperate times call for desperate measures so here are the specs my friends:

Frame: visp aluminum track frame (similar to the bianchi pista concept) 57cm for someone 5'10 - 6' 1notice the wheel cut out!
Fork: Visp
wheels: Velocity B43 700c super nice DEEP- V rim
hubs: Origin 8 sealed track hubs
tires: vittora and michellin speedium2
crank: Sugino messenger 170mm 46T
BB Bracket: Sugino 103
saddle: specialized riva
seatpost: otm
headset: cane creek
stem: ITM big one
handle bars: Risers from bike gallery or Gold Origin 8 bullhorns w/ mcneill bmx grips
grips: OURI
pedals: Origin 8 track pedal
toe clips: Origin 8 single leather strap
spacers: Origin 8
Top tube cap: VP
cog: shimano 17T track cog and shimano lock ring
Chain: KMC K710SL Superlite Kool Ti-N Gold

thats pretty much the run down you can see how fast each each individual part soon adds up, and the tons of time i spent, makes this bike a sweet deal.
Yet ANOTHER $800+ Visp bike... amazing people

Like new GT track bike. 60cm down tube. 58cm top tube. Ridden only at Alpenrose. Never crashed. Used for only two seasons. Same model as the OBRA rental fleet. Bring your own pedals. $300.
I think one day, I'll track down a nice GT... I've been quite fond of them lately.

I also have some 46cm c-to-c Salsa Bell Lap cross bars if you'd prefer them over the riser bars.

This looks like it has lots of potential
