Why not post a picture of your Fixed/Singlespeed bike

If you have to put your bars in an orientation that is outside of their intended use to make the bike "fit" then your frame is the wrong size.

Well,the bike was so cheap that I decided to make my body frame fit it.The present setup works for me. I may saw off the drop section because I never use them, even on my 21 speed road bike with a correct sized frame.

Get a shorter stem perhaps? like one of these:

Il Pompino lives! Guards and rack to follow (and chain tugs).

don't do it, keep it simple. i had a rack, carradice etc etc. it turned the lively frame into a sluggish tank uphill.

Just replaced my wheels the other day with some new ones from another CCer...

i offered him £80 for those wheels, he blew me off.....hehehe, only needed them for spares. they look good on your bike tho.

125 for 160 wheels with 2x 10 tyres can't really be beaten. And I can attest for how new they were, they smelt new and the rubber was unused (certianly a far cry from how it looked after I rode them for 10m !).

Win win really part of me wished they were black but im happy with this

 

[Rohloff_Brompton_Rider]

white looks good, matches the decals. you're right a fair price, but i just didn't want to pay more than £80 for some spare wheels. at least your both happy. decent tyres as well.

I already have a fixed for ragging around. This is my practical bike. Took it round a BMX track today though

I've decided to go with flats and single speed. Cages reminded me of why I went clipless and running fixed on flats is a bit too spicy for my liking. Hills are a chore though, can't pull on the pedals!

 

[Rohloff_Brompton_Rider]

I've been running flats for about 300 miles on fixed with no problems. Then when my mrs fell off the brommie, I had to rush to get the car. That's when my leg nearly got ripped off, my pants leg became unrolled. Since then, I only wear tights and clipsless. Just to be on the safe side

I really want a bike I can wear regular shoes on though. Not willing to do flats and fixed so went flats and freewheel over fixed and clips. Still a pleasure to ride though, just makes hills harder.
