Bike will come with ALL original Components to convert it back to a ROAD bike if thats your liking. this bike was a old Race bike. it was only 21 lbs with everything on it as a road bike, now thats its a fixed gear, its way lighter.

wheels are basically brand new with few miles on them. bike has a dent from the dropbars being on them. the bike could use a good paint job. if i dont get what i want for it, ill paint it myself and then try and sell it like that.

i am asking $260. you are okay to ride it if youd like.

willing to take apart and ship??? if so price ship to 60442... thanks

[luisgonz]

Sweet I hope your going to get another one.

[rainier]

s14_rob - umm, i'd be willing to ship it, but i mean, i believe thatd be pretty expensive since the box would be pretty big. are you a beginner? for 299+shipping you could get a Windsor Hour! haha

ill take a look into it.

Luisgonz - yeah, im starting with a brand new frame and building my way up.

[s14_rob]

i thought most fixed gear bikes didnt have brakes?

[exitspeed]

^
How do you stop then?

[rainier]

yeah, Most fixed geared bikes do not have brakes. since this was a converted road bike, i left the brake on there for everyday use. its a brake, why not have it? it can be taken off easily with a few bolts for the buyer if they wanted to be part of the "most" crowd"

i wasnt trying to hurt your sale man, i dont know anything about bikes, they scare me. but i remember them saying they didnt have brakes in a different thread, so i thought i'd ask about it.

Fixed gear bikes typically dont have brakes because you can stop by simply peddling slower.

Ive really been looking to buy a fixed gear lately to ride around campus. Theyre fun as hell, I wish you were near me Id grab this up.
