Fixed Gear needed

First of all, congrats on the little one about to come

into the world.



Second, go find some old road bike like a Peugot, Schwinn,

something like that with 10 speeds. Just pop off the freewheel,

deraileurs, get a BMX chain (really cheap) and a cog. Voila,

fixed gear. You don't need anything fancy, and you definately

should have brakes for the commute.

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Fixed Gear needed





Greetings!



      I am looking to get ahold of a fixed gear bike to ride for a few

months. I am going to be a dad any day now and can't spend the cabbage on

another bike. With the arrival of our wee one I will have little time to

ride and I figured I would bike commute to work instead of taking the bus!

If anyone has a fixed gear laying around that they don't use

perhaps we can

work out a monthly rental or something. Also..if you have one that needs

some work I can get the parts, get it running and you have a

working bike in

a month or two when I am finished with it. I ride a 56cm frame at the

moment.



Thanks!
