Originally, we had a thread labelled Fixie Gallery, but after about ten posts, it was just talking about my Europa, so I've relabelled that thread and invite all of you to start your own thread about your own bike.
Go for it

Here is mine - A fixie for playing Bike Polo.
I have since ditched the pedals with studs and have simple flat pedals though will probably move to toe clips. I will switch the brakes back around - European style with front brake on the left (the polo mallet is on the right). Usually on once brake is required however the back brake is not in the way so I will leave it.

Brooks-equipped
Looking for a silver 16.5" bike pump to go here in the pegs
Yes, it is set-up on a double freewheel, but the wheel just needs to be flipped to be fixed. Still getting used to this whole fixie thing

introducing.... Ricky 'The Rat' Ricardo resplendent in all of his original kerbside find livery. I commuted daily on him like this for about 3 months (with bar tape!). He's currently in pieces awaiting a piece of 4x2 for a frame alignment(!) and a slightly smaller chainring.

where do u get em from? i've only seen ones that are black - i want shiny stuff!tallywhacker wrote:Yep, its a tektro de-anodized and polished. Old picture, its gone. I ride in the drops most of the time and it was a pia having it on the flat. Replaced it with a reverse brake lever that comes out the end of the bar. Much more convenient and safer.

They only look good in the photo, sadly. steel hubs, steel rims, which have had to receive a lot rust removal and cleaning. suit the patina of the bike though.winona_rider wrote:tell me about those wheels - they look amazing!!!vx255 wrote:snipped image
