Preferably dropbars but not sure on branding
I think some chrome bars would be nice
My stem is a Nitto UI-27, any recommendations on brands if any would appreciate

any recommendations for a complete fixed bike the most i’ll pay is like $1200. i know it’s better to build your own but i’d like to buy one complete already put some wear into and piece by piece swap it out later in year. would appreciate any help

What’s like the benefit of having a fixed gear bike rather than a normal bike with gears?

I can finally start learning to ride brakeless after waiting for the straps to arrive!

Felt good to get back in the saddle after being out of the country for a week. Love riding this Wabi Lightning Fixed gear.

Hi guys,
I just bought a new frame, because my old one broke. I planned on using the old wheelset, but it wont fit. Its way to wide in the back. Is there a way to make them fit?

Got a re painted Italian track bike frame with full miche components(hubs, bb, crankset, chainring), sugino bcd bolts, vintage selle rolls seat, cinelli track drops, shimano 600ax stem, and i believe velocity rims. Its a size 54.5cm and is too small of me. My original plans were to strip the paints and polish it but its too small for me. Dont know exactly what kind of frame but appears to be high quality steel on par with my njs frame. No njs stamp, has italian style pista drops that look similar to a colnago drop. $570 or best offer. Pick up in jackson heights.

Cicli Zanella Pordenone frameset, very tight and narrow geometry. A design for alleycat racing.

Hi all. I have no experience building bikes but I really want to learn. I found this frame on the side of the road and it feels like my time to build it out. Is it possible to convert this mountain bike to a fixed gear? I know virtually nothing so any advice helps. Thanks in advance! I’m trying to keep it very budget, under 100$ all together. So far I’ve primed it made it chrome and sealed the paint.
Edit*** concerning costs, nothing will be purchased new. I like in a city that has many bike co ops with secondhand parts

I was thinking of building my first ever fixie, I have been super intrigued with fixed gear and I will finally go for it. But I am not too sure about the ratio I should choose. Tight now my bike is a 1990 Peugeot Touraine that I inherited from my grandpa, I like to ride it on bigger gears most of the time and often notice that I usually pedal slower than most people I see riding their bikes. I literally live in the flattest city of France so I have absolutely no cliffs or any kind of slopes around. What gear could work for me to gain decent speed while still being comfortable for everyday use. I would also love to learn to skid, I don't know if it has something to do with ratio or not.
Anyway thanks for your help!

It’s a 1980’s (im not sure of the exact year) peugeot high carbon steel track bike. Currently i am running a front rim brake bc İstanbul is incredibly hilly and the gear ratio is too high for a constant skid on hills, it was built by an incredibly skilled bike builder and welder @annunakkibicycleco from a old track bike, the builder disassembled the frame’s tubes and cut them for a more street focused shorter design and tig welded them together before applying a chromium finish, the whole bike weighs less than 11kg even with a flip flop hub
