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)

Dump the green tape ASAP. The bike deserves better.

Nice work for a rattle can job.

Even though it's at least 8cm too short for me, I want that bike!

The rear wheel is close to the edge of the track ends, but yeah they fit. Fork fits them no problem.

Thanks. I used the fix me up calculator and got a little lucky. The chain's good and tight for now, but I'm all the way back in the dropout. If the chain wears a little I'll have to change something; file the dropout or axle or go up a tooth on the chainring maybe.

Want to go up to 38t x 15t, but that means I have to buy a new bashguard.
