@HalSka8 it was fixed, in LA. I ended up beating the ticket last year by reading the actual "10ft on a dry surface" brake law
-
Can you chuck me those old wheels? Please? And maybe the deraileurs and chain? Lol, I just want to build up my Peugeot.
-
Cool transformation
-
how much was that rim set?

Raise that seat

Everyone is hella stupid IMHO. A rear brake on a fixed gear is NOT pointless. Just becuase your legs are moving does not mean that you are necesarily exerting power to the pedals, and by extension the rear wheel.
You can "coast" on a fixie- just dont exert the power and let the pedals move your legs for you- in that case, a rear brake works perfectly
-
OK, now change it back lol. Nice ride.
-
did you buy a new crank when you converted it?
-
in CA you must have at least one brake. I got a ticket for it,
-
unless those rims are machined, they're not gonna last long..

From Cavendish Cycles 136-138 New Cavendish Street W1. 020 7631 5060. A great cycle shop for both couriers and commuters. The manufacturer is Australian - Velocity. Give the shop a ring they are very helpful.

did you use a tensioner on this biike?

As per comment below. Sorry if this is obvious. I deliberately hunted down an old racing bike with horizontal dropouts. Most "new" (geared) bikes have vertical dropouts because tension can be maintained in the chain through the derailler. Therefore you would use a tensioner with vertical dropouts to get the required chain tension.
