First fixed gear bicycle, first post. Newb saying hi. :smiley:
Big ups to Hans for hookin me up with Nikcee to get my hands on my first. :evil: fixed gear bicycle cherry popped, now roll on the addiction.

Nothing too flash 09 Schwinn Madison. Lost rear brake, swapped to fixed, new bars, grips, front brake lever and cable added.

Next pedals, clips and straps. Then stem, post and seat. Maybe new paint, wheels and crank later down the track.

Had an ACL replacement 3 months ago so tentative steps then more seat time.

Cheers Markee
