Why not post a picture of your Fixed/Singlespeed bike

[TheDoctor]

Another of mine, well I did build it for my son but it is still with me. 1977 Claud Butler Dalesman single speed 52 - 18 gearing. Loverly to ride and suprisingly light too.

Nicely retro, and some good colour co-ordination.
I particularly like the red centrepulls.

Here's my Dynatech 401Ti, which has graced these pages before, but as a SS.
It's now a fixed.
39T 105 chainset, with a 15T fixed and 17T freewheel on a flip-flop hub, for 71" and 62".
My main commuting bike, and I'm thinking of touring on it later in the year.

EDIT I need to sort out the colour correction on my camera. It's far more purple than that!!

My Bob Jackson. Different saddle on now, and I have a Carradice barley on the back, but it still looks generally like this:

You let it get WET????

Yes it got very wet on it's very first proper ride. I did strip it down, clean it all and put it back together again before my son saw what i had done

85"......**** that!

Was a good test yesterday on the hills and the driving rain and mist,i take it i've gone giddy with this setup !

for me 63" is spot on, pennine_paul runs 82" with no issues and gets up hills quicker than me.

Front chainring is due a change so i might drop it down a tooth or two if it hurts too much ! Must admit on the straights and even the big downhills it was a brilliant set-up

 

[Pennine-Paul]

I tried running 91 " last week,you start creating your own headwind
when you put the hammer down
Think 82" for the hills and 87" for the flats is about right for me

It might be heavy & cheap but I find it fun, my Viking Road FX; I've still not plucked up the courage yet to go fixed

Since the pic was took I've added spd pedals in order to get up the hills up north

Go fixed,you know you want to ! Don't worry about the hills up North,they can be a nice walk if the pedals stop !
