Why not post a picture of your Fixed/Singlespeed bike

[AndyRM]

My current fixed - a refurbished Raleigh Supercourse.

I've made few changes since these pics as I've been swapping bits over on different bikes (there wasn't a lot of clearance so the tyres are now 25c Gatorskins, silver ESGE guards instead of the black Stronglight, and chainset replaced with an FSA Gimondi and 48t chain ring). I've also added a bagman support and Barley saddlebag

Those handlebars are lovely! So is the whole bike, but they are my favourite part. Unusual and classy. You must look like a proper gent cruising around.

cheers mcb2080, the frameset is switch urban and it's "off the peg", ie not custom. the rest of the bike (including wheels) i built myself. it flies up the hills!

Hi, what is the total bike weight? Looks like it would be good for the hill climb season!

hi, the bike weighs 7005g as it stands in photos; wheels (both 32 spoked) are 1434g. it would be easy to shed another 0.5kg without a major expense. it climbs much better than my geared bike (also carbon), i reckon it's because of efficiency of direct drive.

Those wheels are lighter than my Mavic elites! What are they? And how much did they set you bck if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks

yes, they are 160g lighter than ksyrium elites (equivalent of two inner tubes). the wheels ride better than ksyrium sl's on my geared bike, only ksyriums look nicer imo.
rims are kinlin xr200, tensile hubs and sapim x-ray spokes. regarding cost - not sure, i bought the parts separately from different places last winter - maybe 300-350?

I've posted my bike somewhere else on CC, but I thought I'd add it here as well (it's a nice pic too)
Taken this morning on a quick blast out.

Now, now, don't be jealous.....think of all those bike tokens you are earning
Mind you I'm working now, end of year report time, only about 80 left

With the addition of some drop bars and DiaCompe 287v levers my winter commuter is starting to look something like I want it to

Must... tilt... handlebars... down!

The bottom of the drops should be near enough horizontal.

Nah, tried that but they were more comfortable laid back. It's a bit of a hack from an old hybrid with cast-off parts so I'm not that worried about the angle as it fits and does the job. THey are a little more tilted forward than in that picture now but not much.

 

[Phixion]

I don't know how you'd even operate the brakes at an angle like that, you gotta have some funky wrists

Here's my latest effort
