Where do I buy a fixie?
reply
why buy one when you can make one! get an old road bike frame from craigslist or a garage sale, then go to LA brakeless or the bike station and build up from there

Hey User1,
you can buy one at Orange 20. They take credit cards too so your mom can pay for it.

Make sure mom gets you a matching wheelset

Make sure it comes with really cool American Apparel attire and some vintage sunglasses. Otherwise it's a rip off.

I was thinkin of an aero wheel up front and a spoke wheel in the back?
Yeah, no?
Seems I'll have more street cred this way.

See I'm trying to maximize my street cred and minimize my dumbness in the scene. I found this page that I think will help me,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-gear_bicycle
I KNOW!!! I'll stay on line and redevelop my knowledge with a clever sign in name! I'll just dis everything until I know whats hip and whats not.

I'm 4' 11" and 175 #. Do you have a manual on how to be a hipster? Does my size really matter?
User109.1.08 - 4:39 pm
reply
4'11" or 5'11".
if you're 4'11" i do not have a good size for you at the moment. you'd probably want something with a standover height of 27-28 inches or you can get something with a slanted top tube to swing your leg over, and just keep the seat really low. it is hard to find bikes in this size to be honest.
if you're 5'11", i have 2 bikes for you.

the bike on the right will most likely fit you. not mine though. keep an eye out for garage sales.

You have to have an aero wheel in back and a spoke wheel in front, duh. You don't wanna be like the rest of them, do you?
imachynna09.1.08 - 8:36 pm

when you said you were 4'11" and 175 #, did you mean pounds or how much money you had?

Yeah, user1's a pretty small guy in person.
In most pictures, he appeared to tower over me, but in reality he 'shopped those images to make himself appear to be Shaq!!!!
In reality, nothing but what I roll on right now will fit my 7'2, 310 lb, can't-throw-a-freeshot-worth-a-damn, ass!!!

if youre willing to spend $150 i JUST saw a bike this morning at a bike shop on pico and hoover that would fit you just right. my homegirl is 4'11 and it fit her beautifully. she's not gonna buy it cause she wants a beach cruiser. i didnt pay attention to the brand on the frame or anything but the bike is legit and it's on a freewheel. all you do is take it to la brakeless and get it fixed

I'm passing over getting a fixie. Too late to the game! Plus everyone has one.
I'm ready to get at the cutting edge of the next craze!
MTB with road wheels baby! We're talking sick skinny wheels!
Best of both worlds!
Oh yeah!

@ User1:
i did that already. in fact, i took it a step further - i took off the derailer..
it's a mountain bike / road bike / single speed bike
i'll give it to you for $5 - all proceeds go to Shues - he needs a new bike!

Since I won't be riding in a circle, but on the road, I'm keeping my gears.
But thanks for the offer! :-)
