Tuxstir Posted October 13, 2012 Share so finally got it rideable...not quite finished yet... first things to change will be a more rideable gear ratio...and also going to trim the bars down. GTRacing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be, I just remembered the Viner and the same (similar) size frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNT1 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Can I ask a question, why do you guys put different wheels on your bikes? I mean almost every example you see has a aero wheel front, and a pretty standard wheel back. Why is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuxstir Posted October 13, 2012 Share Can I ask a question, why do you guys put different wheels on your bikes? I mean almost every example you see has a aero wheel front, and a pretty standard wheel back. Why is that?for me personally , its a simple solution, the back wheel i have is one i built up. and seen as its a 40 spoke wheel, the rim is what i could get. but the front wheel is something i have lying around.(also a odd wheel) I would love a set of aerospoke wheels but, for me the whole idea of a fixie is a budget bike that should not cost a fortune, using odd bits of unwanted/ used bike bits. a lot of the stuff I have used here is either bits from other bikes that have been upgraded, or stuff I have in my bin of bike spares, not much I got specifically for the bike.

I figured for you that was the case. I'm to OCD. I'd have to have symmetry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
