Knott & Dew, get it for $15, ship the frame to DebW and have her build you a freewheelOriginally Posted by KnottedYet
Consider when it comes to a mixte fixie that according to Chris the bottom bracket is lower to the ground which makes cornering problematic. You must not lean into the turn because there will come a day you're at an apex of the turn and your inside crank is down.
Best case scenario is it lifts the bike off the ground, worst is a fall/crash.
He says if I decide to try it fixed gear we'll put the bike on the stand first and get a feel for just hw far I can....and can't lean into a turn.

OK by me. Something to do this winter, and 2 new wheels to build. I've got a smattering of spare parts and Harris Cycles is a good source for vintage bits. Originally Posted by Trek420
