"dont care what they are made of, if its wet least of my worries is how water proof my shoes are stiff soles and very slight padding in the tounge, all you need but people cant ever get it right"

joe r replied to Eli Marston's discussion what does the wheel placement have to do with bike reactivity?
"shorter wheel base gives quicker terning, dont need to tern the bars as much to tern quickly, generaly makes for a more responsive ride, but can get a lil twitchy"

That is a system between Fixed Gear Bike Republic site and Flickr.

I have nothing to do with it.

You know it's just easy to erase everything.

Cheers bro; found some similar straps on eBay.

hahaha. good shit.

yeah well I unserstand that shit totally....I dont ride around with skinny jeans on...and neon pink wheels and gold chains and bright blue frames. I dont dig the whole freestyle fixed thing either...but somehow...somewhere...we're all tied together. My gf rags on me all the time for being so into riding fixed. I do it for me. I do it for transportation...and for the love of it...the connection between you and your bike is like no other when riding a fixed gear...I love it

you dont have to tell someone that their "huffy" looks good... but theres no need to go through every photo and say something negative about it.
At 3:56pm on October 19, 2010, Derek Lloyd said…
do you have to comment on ever photo that gets posted and make some smart ass remark? get over yourself bro. and let the interwebs be a friendly place. We are all on this sit for the same reason. To talk about a common interest that we all have, fixed gear bikes. If all you want to do is talk shit, go find another website.
At 12:48pm on October 2, 2010, eric o said…
why are you such an asshole to everyone?? seriously. you have bullshit to say about everyone's photos. Its really quite ridiculous. People like things they like...everyone is entitled to they're own things. Big deal if you don't like it.. keep your negativity off the site. You own and ride some nice bikes...that doesnt give you the right to criticize the shit out of everyone else. Get a grip man...we're all in this together and should be supporting each other not talking each other down. Who gives a shit if someones bars are different, who cares if someones color schemes aren't up to "you're" standards, there's much more serious shit to be all worried about in this world today. Just ride.

Hmm, well most the decent fixies ive seen on ebay are like nearly £200 or above, like the Charge plug is about £350, so i really don't think ill be buying one already set up. I'll see what i can find anyway, my mate managed to pick up a shit heap for £10 and he's gonna build that up so hopefully i can get luck too :/

Nah i'm kinda north eat, well they call it north east, to me its just east, From Lincolnshire.
I might give the junk yard a shot if there's a decent one round here, but i heard they don't let people take things from them anymore in case they get injured using it?
Spose if i really can't find anything, and you can hook me up with a good deal i could give my dad some petrol money or something, but we'll see what i can find locally first!
Is it pretty costly converting to a fixie? One that looks half decent, because im guessing you need pretty much a new back wheel and new crant set right? and all the matching bearings etc.?
