Thanks,
I've owned the bike for over ten years. it was my first purchase on eBay, I built it up using spare parts. It's still one of my favorite bike, very comfortable, good for all day riding.

Hi,
This is one bike I have been waiting months for, still a lot of cleaning and a few changes to be made but I'm a fixed gear convert now, due to time pressures I did an early morning spin class today(legs in bits) but couldn't resist doing a sneaky ten miles on my new old fixie

Bought it as a winter commuter, but rides like a dream - really light and responsive. So it'll be dry use only. I've no idea if it's a genuine Alcyon, but I don't much care - I think it is old as there's an oil nipple on the bottom bracket shell. Alcyon went out of business in the late 1950s, so if it is genuine, it's older than me. Just. There's a serial number under the bottom bracket shell, but the recent paint obscures it. I built it up with new parts, but the stem and bars are old Cinelli, perhaps the originals (although I don't know).

My latest. Built so I can ride (slowly) with the lovely Helen to the country pubs and tea rooms we both love so much without my dropping her.


The colour scheme is incredible! :smile: ;)

Here is my freshly built fixie... Finished today! Based on a 1970/1980 Peugeot SuperSport which I brought to Germany from Holland, after its wheels got busted i ended up buying a new bike and this one sat around doing nothing for 4 months, til this week when I decided I wanted to build something! It has original frame, bars and seatpost, the forks were donated by a friend and the crank too (which will be replace with a shimano 600 crank when i get round to it) The wheelset is Weinmann DP18's with Quando hubs (cheap 100euro wheelset) and the seat was another donation, the white chain is new though and the front brake is an original Peugeot centre pull!
Hope you guys like it as much as I do!
Forgive the terrible photo quality!

This was my old Falcon Professional that I first built as a fixed twelve years ago given a new lease of life, inspired by Kyuss a few years back who had a sticker bike I had the idea of beer labels :smile:
So I prepped the frame and had it sprayed at work, then stuck the labels on with clear varnish and had it lacquered, to say I am pleased with it is an understatement and I am already collecting labels for the next one :P
