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 ---

This is the day I bought my Surly Steamroller. 2007 I think ![](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y41/iwearmoccos/DSCN1125-1.jpg) It ended up looking like this before I sprayed the wheels black and sold it to a friend in canberra. ![](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y41/iwearmoccos/SL371833-1.jpg) ---

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. ![](http://www.cyclebucket.com/images/snapshot20.jpg) ---

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. ![](http://www.cyclebucket.com/images/gina1.jpg) ![](http://www.cyclebucket.com/images/gina.jpg) ![](http://www.cyclebucket.com/images/gina2.jpg) ---
