Its a 1978 Kabuki something.....A 56sq frame with all the rust taken off and cleared. Waiting on a 19t sprocket, for the rear. Can sell you some drops, suntour vx drivetrain etc. for free with it???

 

[Igofastdh]

I'd get it, but i dont have much knowledge on fixies, so would prefer to buy a complete at the moment, thanks anyway

 

[Fixie God]

No worries, got another fella in Canberra gonna have a look anyways.

I was gonna spend some decent money on it but have been waitin for my DJ to sell up. Till then or till someone takes it off my hands, its all mine

 

[EzyLee]

If no one else gets it, I will grab it!

 

[vandenberg]

thanks for all the flaming guys..
Does anyone happen to know the spoke length for a 650 deep v to a velocity hub or any other with the same diameter flanges?

I can measure mine when i get home. im running a rigida dp18, but its essentially the same as a deep v. will try to remember.

 

[Fixie God]

WOW!!!!

Everyone is fighting over my bike. Best offer wins guys. We'll start at $50.

 

[EzyLee]

I'm not here for a bidding war, I'm just saying if triples doesn't end up getting it because it's not the right size or anything... I will pick it up.

 

[Fixie God]

alright. we've got a deal. If he bails it yours

 

[Lanky Love]

If Ezy doesn't get it by the time I get spare cash, I will take it.

 

[Fixie God]

deal again. Lets hope this doesnt get to much more complicated

Girlfriends fixie conversion!

Big shout out to my mate Brent (Wheelworks) for helping me put this together today!

Made up of an old 52cm Repco frame + fork found on hard rubbish, a wheelset I had lying around, and other bits and pieces from the shop. Cost me $180 all up.

Currently running 39:15, nice and spinny! Front brake for safety, of course.
And weighed in at around 11kg..

Comments and criticism appreciated!
Thanks again Brent

Betcha she'll love it.

Liken those bars, wicked as, but you may need to up the ratio and lose some of the rust eventually

rust is your friend. ive had mine bare metal for months! i polish it with sandpaper every know and again

 

[Fixie God]

I sand it off then clear it so it doesnt come back....I like it better that way

 

[Zyphryss]

Yeah, I've got some black cranks with a 42t ring I could whack on if she wants something a little harder. Might even get some riding pics in a few weeks
