slewk Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 I woke up this morning with an urge to build something a little different, in this case a fixie / single speed bike with a Lefty fork Is this possible on an older road bike frame? If not a retro mtb frame? Will appreciate any indulgence I found a reference picture online L
Stall_Gear Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 Grab one of these frames floating on Gumtree (I ride an exact same one as the green one on the road as a fixie!)... https://www.gumtree.co.za/a-sports-bicycles-fitness/port-elizabeth/fixed-gear-frames/1001925740610910755345809 They take a 1 1/8 steerer and have horizontal dropouts (and some useful parts thrown in!)... so a proper lefty suspension fork would fit with an adapter... I like the thinking!

Long Wheel Base Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 I would love to do something like this:right11.jpgright21.jpgLooks lekker but my OCD is just telling me I wouldn't be able to ride that.
dirtypot Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 I would love to do something like this:right11.jpgright21.jpg Weird frame design at the back! Love the carbon drive
dartfordbiker Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 I am a lefty too! This project is awesome.
