Fixie Shop/Mechanic Recomandations

Sup 1st Post and need some help with sourcing a good fixie mechanic / shop to help choose parts and build to a track frame i sourced from the salvos.
Prefably Inner Melburn City

Hubs - Forks- Cranksets- All that shit!

Thanks.

Dan

Maybe the ‘Wanted’ section at Fixed.org?

Saturday rides are good for that too - just ride what you got, have a go on other people’s bikes, chat about your gear and plans… good to get an idea of what’s possible.

Look out for the guy riding a track frame with no hubs, fork or crankset… :stuck_out_tongue:

Matt at Kookie bikes for parts, recomendations, advice and discounts if you buy bulk (he’s linked off the homepage here)
A friend of mine runs a bike project right near the Brunswick outdoor velo pay him a small amount and his workshop is your workshop whenever you need it… oh, advice and a hand if you need it is free.

Happy building

:wink:

How long do the Saturday rides normally go for? I might try and get along.

Good one Powdah. I know Bill but I haven’t seen him in probably a couple of years. Now I know where to find him.

About as long as a piece of string. That piece of string could be anywhere from a couple of hours to all day…and even night.

You can ride for as long or as little as suits you.

Was Bill not rockin the kazbah at Abbotsford Cycles?

.

i’m gonna try and get along on saturday!

rock solid

remember to set your alarm on friday night… :wink:

You have to be there sharp-ish-like or Snowflake rides off without you… :wink:
Not really.
