The (un)official single speed thread....

Haha.....very funny.

 

If anyone is interested, I'm pretty sure the chrome Carlton is for sale, or will be at some point. Not sure what the final spec will be but there were some nice 60/70s Campy Pista hubs on it last time I saw it.

I thought it was a cape flats version

Spoke to the owner of the Carlton today. Says he's decided to hang on to it for now. You're welcome to chat to him if you want. He has a few other track/fixie frames hanging about.

Ok....here's a pic of the OTHER Carlton.

 

 

 

I still need to organise wheels. It's currently fitted with Joytech

singlespeed hubs(riding it suicide-fixed) laced to Alex rims(these are

for sale if anyone's interested).

 

 

 

I've gotten a late 70/early80s Dura Ace high flange flip-flop hub. Now

need to find a matching front one(mission!) and plan to build them into

Velocity Deep Vs....not very original I know, but it looks so damn hot!

 

 

 

Crankset is the Zeus Pista that was on the chrome Carlton but going to

switch to an old Stronglight 106 because it's easier to find a smaller

ring. The Zeus has a totally unique BCD and a 49/18 ratio is not a

usable gear when you live at the top of Kloof st!

I think it time you take the viner of my hands....

 

It needs this type of love.

[MintSauce]

My man....I'm sitting with this Carlton and two other fixie frames. If I come home with another one I'm going to be starting a 'The boss is upset with me' thread as well

[jollypoo]

but, your 'bike room' looks soooo spacious.

[MintSauce]

That would be my lounge

 

 

btw....I'm in need of a 44 or 42 chainring, 144BCD i.o.w. a Campy inner ring, for the above mentioned Stronglight crank
