My fixa

[jonathan199318]

wow you made it seem easy but i know it took you long enough to sand it down

[nickf1975]

What size wheels are you using?

[phrolique]

you're a pro!

[Degr8n8]

Nice fix, diggin the single speed.

[420witchdoctor]

It was a perfectly good bike to begin with.

[fozzi900]

you could finish his off with a pink/red chain..

[furnaceskate]

i hope u tightened that cog

[sparobtown]

great build and great edit!

did you use one of those stem-converter?

[punktodeath1]

very nice bike man

[fuzzydizzle]

bellisima. Very nice bike, good to see you built it all by yourself. Forza Fixa

[swankybro1]

how much did all that cost

like minus the frame

[fotomiglio]

to strip: about 2hours (handmade)

to paint: about 40 minutes

[needafixedgear]

how long did it take to paint that frame, and how long did the paint have to cure before you put the bike back together?

[fuckingbonechilling]

The poor bike.

[sparobtown]

wow...very beautiful bike. must be a great feeling to see a refreshed bike.

[Hotdog545]

Great Work Man.

[AllieBucci]

front breaks arent that good if ur going so fast and use the front break u fly frontwards!

[tryrey]

te quedo bien la bici compadre ... felicitaciones

[Kemoix]

wise man with front brake

[jakebeal1996]

this person needs to get a grip

[munchcrisps]

wow, beautiful, shame about the bars tho!

[moddedcat]

dope

[changster308]

:(...no more quilled stem..

[besamemucho5]

beautiful job( in fact it is the best video on a single speed ) although the video seems to need more detail like how did you put tension on your chain without tensioner? can you use a spacer with your new headset? is it possible to use any headset that fits the size? and what about the seat post? and what about the front brake i only use rear brake seems to be the safer one...if you could answer some of my questions i would really appreciate it ..thank you.

[fotomiglio]

thank you for compliments...

can you use a spacer with your new headset?

> it's a traditional headset (threaded)

can you use a spacer with your new headset?

> it's not indispensable

what about the seat post?

> I keep the original

what about the front brake...

> I prefer to brake with front-brake because it's more effective and... back wheel is fixed (it's a brake too... more or less)

keep pedaling!

[BRASILIANPEOPLERCOOL]

how did you strip the paint? and did you just use regular spray paint, because i heard that chips off very easily.

Im aobut to start building a bike, but im not sure where i can findt all the parts and tools i need, yet.

thanks for the vid though, this will help.

[fotomiglio]

I used abrasive paper to strip the paint and regular spray paint (I know a professional painter is better... but it's expensive too)

good luck for your project ;-)

keep pedaling!

[jayseo]

...or you can strip it with industrial strength medal striiper, prime it, then purchase high quality graffiti paint that costs about 10 bucks a can. then clear coat to finish it off

[Aaron518]

Fresh! I like the red chain ring bolts.

[CrisRadial]

..GRANDEEE.. io ora sn alle prese con la ricerca dei pezzi per farmi al fixa... ormai sn fissata!!!

[stereopanda]

1. what kind of headset is that??

2. what was that marking you were pointing out on the steer tube??

3. what rear hub did you use?

sweet ride!

[fotomiglio]

1. the head set is made by a little italian company

2. don't understand the question

3. rear hub is an old Campagnolo pista

keep pedaling! ;-)

[stereopanda]

nice!

right at 0:42 theres a close up on the fork.

[zybanmongo]

no toe clips or straps? damn, that would be pretty crazy to ride that confidently. Beautiful bike though.

[fotomiglio]

good observation... 2 week ago I mounted the clips, now is another way of pedaling!

[dentrezz]

i wish it was that eaasy to make one.

[fotomiglio]

not difficult, don't worry ;)

[dentrezz]

i have a frame but cant fuckin take the cranks offf so ima try and saw that shit offf,plusss i cant afford back hubs,oh and i'm only 14,hahahahah.people say its too dangerious for me.i dont care i just wanna ride.

[gsand88]

Dentrezz, you need a crank puller for to remove the cranks.

If you cant afford a fixed wheel, just spin on a freewheel and go single speed until you have the notes for a fixed hub.

Building bikes really is "that easy", you just need to to familiarize yourself with the humble bicycle

[khanteechit]

thx for the advice people.

[ajnikesb123]

this is a great build congrats, what is the name of the song?

[fotomiglio]

thank you for congrat and sorry because I don't have the title... :(

[harlemhotboy85]

Can you tell me what handle bar that is. i wanna replace mines. I have a pista and want to know if it will fit. i know little about bikes but want those exact handle bars.

[fotomiglio]

handle bar is by Ritchey

[edscoble]

What's wrong with the quill stem thought?

[dellol]

nice

[iglooworkshop]

How much did all the new parts cost, all together?

[fotomiglio]

track-hub was a gift from a mechanic

stem + handlebar etc (all things I won when I ride in MTB years ago)

rear wheel + chain = 40 euro

color spray = 8 euro

[charyet]

That was a cool as video. Fixies are such cool toys. Thanks for posting.

[volapyk1991]

Nice video!!

[fitzpantsenson]

i have those same cranks on my fixie. nice ride.

[caviarjar]

great video. that frame has really tight geometry for a conversion,

great find and build

[CreepDSC]

im still on my first bike nd im wondering if u gotta strip all the paint before u paint it

[fotomiglio]

yes, U got to strip as best as U can all parts

[CreepDSC]

thanks man

[canyonbeater]

Turned out pretty nice!

[EVER415]

[mityuska]

[thecyclepath]

[dgsurfnazi]

[sarettih]

MITICO ALEEEEEEEEE

[CarlO882]

Grandeeeee! 3 Minuti di essenza di fissa!! Ottimo Lavoro (sia Meccaniko che Multimediale) ;) Complimenti Davvero! CarlO!

[youkey0528jp]

how did you do with the chain tension? did you use the excentlic hub?

[fotomiglio]

I used a standard old track-hub by Campagnolo...

the tension is easy to do because it's a old frame with orizontal place where to insert the back wheel

[rmclic]

bella, anke la musica
