  1. Ive been looking everywhere for a 1980s or 90s fixed gear bike... Not anything like a track spec model just a racer style with a fixed wheel.

    I rode my firends fixed wheel while I was on holiday recently and fell in love with the whole concept, take a little getting used to but there is definitely something cool and low tech about it all......

    So does anynoe know where i could find a bike like this? have you got one..... do you know someone that has.... Even if its just a single fixed wheel from an older bike i could convert a frame.. So any help would be appreciated!! thank!!

    Also, are there any other fixed wheel nuts like myself about??? Let me know I was considering starting an OZ website!

    I ride a track bike with a front brake on it thats fun to ride. I picked it up second hand for about $300. If you have a road bike you can buy a White Industries ENO hub and use the standard dropouts or get the dropouts changed by a friendly frame builder.
