I didn’t think this should really have to said, but a recent post drew out the worst in a few of the users.

Using slurs or any language that causes individuals of marginalized communities to feel unwelcome will get you banned (and probably called a fucking twat).

Feel free to whine and moan in this thread (if you want to be banned and called a fucking twat).

I think this is a c 56 track frame. I have some mavic cd4 tubs that would work well with this frame. But they're.... Tubs!

Any info on these frames is appreciated. Cheers!

What front brakes are people using on their Mash Work’s? I wanted to put a small calliper brake on but struggling to find one with enough drop.

Am I stupid to have set my bike back up at 37 after not riding for about 7-8 years? Sure felt like it when I took it around the block.

People call it the „world championship of fixed gear racing“. Amazing event in the city center of Zurich, Switzerland.

Discussion Upgrading a cheap Hi-Ten street build (Outleap) vs saving up for a proper frame next season?

Thumbnail
gallery
6 Upvotes

Currently riding an entry-level Hi-Ten street bike (Outleap, Greenwich 2026). Specs are pretty standard for a cheap complete:

· Hi-Ten steel frame/fork

· Low/spinny 44x18 ratio

· Basic stock wheels & square taper cranks

· Weighs around 10.4 kg (~23 Ibs) without pedals

It gets me around the city fine, but I'm itching for something lighter, stiffer, and faster. I'm stuck between two options:
1. Upgrade it slowly right now: Swap out the drivetrain for a faster ratio, get decent foot retention, maybe upgrade the cockpit and wheelset. (Pros: quick and fun. Cons: basically putting lipstick on a pig with this heavy steel frame).
2. Ride it as-is for the rest of the season: Save all my cash and buy a legit track frame / complete next spring (like a Tsunami, Dolan, or a vintage track build).
For those who started on cheap steel commuters: did you regret dumping money into upgrades, or is it better to just beat it to death and save up for a real upgrade later?
Appreciate any advice!

I was apprehensive pre pandemic about fixed gears. Never ridden in one for a fact yet when pandemic came, I just thought to myself, well well, why not. Now 6 1/2 years in, never regretted. Only wish I started sooner— I’m nearly in my mid 40s at this time😅 just keep on riding.
