My new fixed gear bike and the tool to make it.
Columbus Spirit for lugs. May be some time before I ride it.

Cool! You'll have to do a build thread with plenty of pictures.

My raleigh medale with a shiny new wheelset :-)

Built from parts I had spare, apart from the rack and bar tape. Sturmey 3 speed with bar-end shifter. Cardiff leather saddle with copper plated rails and bag loops.

I wanted a 'retro' machine as a kick back at all the unnecessary 'fluff' available today.

Like the bike , but nul points for the background I'm afraid

Come on, even a radiator would be better than a wheelie bin

Don't leave it there for too long, the bin men might get the wrong idea!

And don't take pics in the late afternoon!

Not bad though part the wheel image is missing and the picture is dominatated by shadows.

Also looks a little washed / bleached out, maybe turn down your exposure settings ?

I made it. Had a chap on LFGSS turn up the fittings for me, based on the Little Fish design.

Decent. I made a bike once- without a jig per se...turned out okish. Actually it was pretty damned straight and bloody strong but I gave it too long a wheelbase and a bit too much rake. Went fine in a straight line but ask it to turn and it'd think about it a few moments later.

Ceeways is good fun though isn't it?
