HA HA @ EzyLee!!

gearing not much good for speed?

My first actual fixed wheel was a pair of those forks with the same ‘pedals on the axle’ setup, with a seat bolted on the top of the forks. worst unicycle ever.got about 6 full pedals in once

13

This is the day I bought my Surly Steamroller. 2007 I think

It ended up looking like this before I sprayed the wheels black and sold it to a friend in canberra.

14

My first fixed, repco superlite I converted from a 12 speed in early 07. I still have the frame in the shed, the rear wheel and front hub are on my ken for the moment. the saddle got a bit bent in an accident.

15

That was my first too, but the raw alloy one… Was actually a nice frame once you got rid of all the stock parts.

16

sexy Heavy metal… wicked wheel set up :slight_smile:

17

Frame was definitely the best bit. Worst had to be the Alex ‘Tank’ Wheels and the UN26 which was rough as guts.

I built this up about 3 yrs ago, i’ve since sold it all off except for the wheelset, pedals, bars/stem. Spent ages collecting parts for it and rode it for a year or a bit more. Unintentionally upgraded when i bought a bike i didnt plan on keeping, but decided to keep it haha.
