Chain looks awfully loose.

Mr_Christopher 11-02-08 06:53 PM

Check this one out.

Lots of cool SS stuff at DFW CL.

Go here

They have tons of cool stuff for SS bikes.

That blue one would be good minus a link or two in the chain

roadnoob412 11-05-08 07:52 PM

Thanks for the link. I'm looking for an orange chain. KMC doesn't seem to have that color. Oh well - wanted one for my Electra Boney Finger.....

johnnytheboy 11-05-08 10:47 PM

both pretty weak builds if you ask me.
don johle's bike world sells colored bmx chains.

roadnoob412 11-06-08 07:41 AM

Why do you say that? These look like beautiful builds, aside from the loose chain, which is an easy fix. I think if you're going to make negative comments, you should either back them up or not make them at all...

Hobartlemagne 11-06-08 08:04 AM

I dont really like the first one. I think the rake of the fork is too much and the tires look huge.

the pictures back up my claims just fine.

kickstand- fail
rear brake only- fail
knobby tires- fail
sloppy brake cable and housing- fail
rattle can paint job- fail
using stock double chainrings on a "fixie"- fail
using the word "fixie"- fail

party foul, please edit

m4bandit 11-06-08 04:48 PM

Wow. Garbage with wheels.

tepr 11-06-08 09:32 PM

awful

at least get wheels the right size

Mr_Christopher 11-06-08 09:38 PM

Wow, I knew I was new but dang this thread has been a schooling on "fixies". Not my original intent, I just thought it looked cool, but I now have a better idea of what to look for (and avoid) in a ss.

I want to get my feet wet with one of these sometime this year. I'm still reading up on them. There's a great thread on the 09 models in the Single Speed forum.

oh oh oh where'd the seatpost go?

roadnoob412 11-07-08 10:08 AM

Dang, ya'll are rough. I guess I just don't know what I'm looking at. To each his own.... :)

johnnytheboy 11-07-08 10:17 AM

if it's so rad, one of you guys should buy it.
