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)

FXD/SS Help!

Hi everyone! I am planning to do a ss/fxd bike, right now i am in the process of selecting and buying a old bike which i will convert to fixed/ss bike later on. a seller in our area offered me a couple of bikes and sent me some photos for me to look at so i can decide which bike will suit my taste. i am looking at a sekine and a norco bike as my prospective bike, and i would like to get your opinion regarding this one. i have attached the photos of the bikes hopefully you can help me decide which is a real bang for the buck. the seller offered a price of $75 on each of those 2 bikes.

Either one since they were both low end road bikes. Best to go check them out in person, make sure they are usable and not rusted out, dented, etc. Make sure the seatpost isn't seized, the fork isn't bent.

Make sure they are the right size too before choosing/buying.
