here it is... my first fixed
 

well apart from the finishing touches, like somebar tape and a front brake, she is ready. and i'm pretty convinced i need a front brake, running around without one was cool but for practicality on the road there is no other option for me

Nice looking bike, congrats.

Congrats, looks real nice!
Gonna ride it in CM this month?

I like it.

beautiful

very cool!

beautiful.
I still dont understand the shape of the chainstays. they look straight
from some angles but bent from others?

bloody hell - put some plugs in those bars before you give some stranger a stomach op they didnt ask for.

otherwise, tres bien!

Look pedals? on the street?

Who made the frame?

Nice bike but DO NOT DRILL THAT FORK!!!

S/F<
CEYA!

yeah, how weird is that, it looks like it rides in circles :)

Perhaps this will happen when he installs the bar tape, as mentioned above.

ahh you guys have put a big smile on my face on an otherwise rubbish monday morning.
techone, all going well i'll be at cm

yes the chain stays are bent (intentionally), a bit like s bend chainstays but less drastic.

ceya, the fork is safe, i'm gonna get a no frills straight blade cro mo fork from bike fix to sort out the braking duties. just one thought- on the pace suspension forkd they had removable clamped v brake mounts, i might see if i can design one for track forks to run some canti's on

the frame was made by the raleigh special products dept, the main decals on it said DYNA-TECH and it is made from bonded reynolds 736 (i think that's the right number) tubing.

oh and i cant belive how strange my legs feel now, how do you guys manage to walk ever?

salmon

You will soon learn to LOVE that feeling! ;) Oh and that's a B-utiful bike. There's something about the stark,simplicity of a fixie that just gets me where I like to be gotton.

You might be able to get a brake for that fork.

Nice head badge...

What's growing in those pots in the background? LOL

one is meant to be a bay tree, but intermitant watering and abuse from the wind have left it a bit sad...

so new fork installed and it's not too bad. front has gotten a bit more twitchy but still a nice ride.

these pics are the last before the brake goes on..... oh and yes, i am trying to steal wk's crown as king of the crazy saddles- i have to put sunglasses on before i approach it...

holy carp! is that pink?!?!
I just landed a blue one - i love da turbos

hot pink all the way. all need now is the maching jersy- just have to look out for some hot 90s fluro garb.

congrats on the modship if that's what the blue star means- although i wouldn't be suprised if my eyes were deceiving me after looking at my saddle...

looking good. i spotted a very 80s or early 90s bmx top tube protector in my LBS, that was white with a hot pink and blue design for $1. i can pick it up for you, if you'd be interested in having something to match the seat.

Hot!

Damn that looks really good.
