  11. hi DieHonest welcome to jhb and to the fixie nation.yeah a slight diffrence between single speed and fixie. simply fixed gear bikes cant free.to get a good idea what fixie is all about visit sheldon brown.for awesome ideas into what you can do to your bike to make it look awesomeness. visit fixed gear gallery.you might be able to spot both mine and DiverNicks bikes on there both completed last year. but be warned there are over 13000 bikes on there. as to riding them at criticall mass would love to but unfortantly i have a work related function friday nights that i cannot avoid but would love to do it. or do a NY styled bike messenger race . kinda like lucas videos.where abouts in jhb are you located
  12. Retro track frame not impossible to find. Don't need bucket loads of cash , on my second one. First was a 56cm 1968 dhc with campy groupo . Very rewarding to build but how ever I am 6'4" so just a wee bit to small. Managed to get a viner frame frome Emile. Which is more my size at 61cm which I need to build up. But alas I have been spending my bike build money getting another bike built for the misses brother. And then further mods to some of ther other bikes. I would try my hardest to get a track frame than a steel road frame. For the fixie project if I was you. Then try to make it your own, ie paint job, or stickers etc.A good website to check ideas, and if you can find them mine and divernicks bikes isFixed gear gallery. But be warned there are over 13000 bikes on the site. I have seen some brilliant looking bikes, on there, some completed with comic book characters , Good luck with the bike hunt and good building and maybe one day we'll organise a bike messier styled race for our fixes. In the style of Lucas brunells videos.. Could be fun..
  13. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
  14. Road bike or Mtb bike, old school or more of a new school, Reason I ask road bikes work mostly in metric, old school always, You could always find a bike calculator on the world wide web , take a few measurements and find an rough sizing
  15. As I said lazy design department, so they put a new suspension in, and took out the carpets again, still looks like every other Porsche 911/Carrera made in the last 5 years,
  16. Porsche the lazy it's design department Looks like the only thing changed is the name at the back
  17. Try Emile from startling hero bicycling company.... I got my frame from him. But you might have to wait awhile as he looks for one.. But he has all the right contacts.
  18. the comparison was about spending money when you dont have the skills to truelly use it to its full potentional..or evn half it poitentinal but guess that was lost on you... i really do hope he stays in the sport its a great hobby / obsession. . . but i've seen it all too often, people spend a fortune getting the best of the best, then doing it for 5 rides and either selling the bike or putting the bike into storage and forgetting about it.. only pulling out to brag to his buddies about how much money he spent... so for me, i would prefer a guy starts small and has the bug hit him, get the skills and then upgrade to something better.. at the moment i'm getting somebody hooked, given him a okish bike and taking him for a ride, told him to walk the sections i know he does not have the skill yet, but knowing soon if he tries and the passion hit, which i think it has pushing his skills to a level that he will never walk a track,
  19. its like somebody that cant drive pitching up to do his driving test in top of the line lambo, i have nothing against having a expensive bike but if his been riding for sevral months, upgrading to a more expensive wont improve his skills.just like it wont make me faster spending the money i want to spend on my bike... but i can do and do enjoy the chincal sections...
  20. Awesome bike can't go wrong, My misses has one of thoses, just a older model. Happy riding
  21. me, me ,me....i wouldnt mind a wouldnt wheel.
  22. Keep it original. That paint job looks in very good nick. Rather if you want to spend money on components.

  24. had the same problem the weekend.. i saw the Raleigh nomad dual suspension and wanted to know price and dealer... not the most successful search ever. also saw the under construction web page. not the best intro or launch ever
  25. like the cannondale caad 10, it's lighter than a dogma.
