Alternative title for this thread -

Graham Edmonds - where are you?

Graham, you know your way around the net as you have posted to Fixed Gear Gallery. Go on, put your hand up in this forum. Say hello.

There's also a Skidstar fixie in Brisbane (mine 🙂

Hi SteveA,

What "grade" (quality) of frame is that?... i.e. racing frame of the early
70's, clunker of the 60's etc?
Why I ask is because I have a similar looking frame from the local tip for
$5 with only wheels & small diameter seatpost missing.

I thought the frame seemed heavy, & so wondered if it was just a cheapy.
The bike was kitted out with Shimano 600 for derailers (even tho it has
track ends) , & has front & rear brakes.
There is no manufacturers name on the frame.
Not sure whether to resurrect it for a training/shopping bike or just
cannibalise it for parts for my other shopping bike.

Cheers
Rob

Rob,

dunno about the pink bike, I found it on Fixed Gear Gallery and though it was worth posting here

The owner lives (in the cyberspace sense) here:

For inspiration, if you are thinking of building up a fixed gear or single speed bike from an old frame, go and look at Fixed Gear Gallery:

Because I've got a couple of old frames that are the right size for me and a couple of boxes of spare parts, I am planning an SS or fixie and Fixed Gear Gallery gives me lots of ideas and inspiration.
