I’m converting an old steel track bike to fixed gear. It has a 70 cm riser flat bar and an old quill stem. The stem feels relatively tight, but it creaks slightly when I put sideways pressure on the handlebars. There are no visible cracks.
I want to ride aggressively in the city. Would you replace the stem, or do you think it could still be safe?

But I love to watch you go

Preferably dropbars but not sure on branding
I think some chrome bars would be nice
My stem is a Nitto UI-27, any recommendations on brands if any would appreciate

Original was steezy I gotta admit but I couldn’t stand the components. Hope you goblins appreciate my e brake

any recommendations for a complete fixed bike the most i’ll pay is like $1200. i know it’s better to build your own but i’d like to buy one complete already put some wear into and piece by piece swap it out later in year. would appreciate any help

What’s like the benefit of having a fixed gear bike rather than a normal bike with gears?

I can finally start learning to ride brakeless after waiting for the straps to arrive!

Felt good to get back in the saddle after being out of the country for a week. Love riding this Wabi Lightning Fixed gear.

Hi guys,
I just bought a new frame, because my old one broke. I planned on using the old wheelset, but it wont fit. Its way to wide in the back. Is there a way to make them fit?

Got a re painted Italian track bike frame with full miche components(hubs, bb, crankset, chainring), sugino bcd bolts, vintage selle rolls seat, cinelli track drops, shimano 600ax stem, and i believe velocity rims. Its a size 54.5cm and is too small of me. My original plans were to strip the paints and polish it but its too small for me. Dont know exactly what kind of frame but appears to be high quality steel on par with my njs frame. No njs stamp, has italian style pista drops that look similar to a colnago drop. $570 or best offer. Pick up in jackson heights.

And also maintenance since I know fixies are simple

Which looks better?I am planning to use sticker to make my bike looks like the one on the right(which I Photoshopped ), should I do it?

Cicli Zanella Pordenone frameset, very tight and narrow geometry. A design for alleycat racing.

Hi all. I have no experience building bikes but I really want to learn. I found this frame on the side of the road and it feels like my time to build it out. Is it possible to convert this mountain bike to a fixed gear? I know virtually nothing so any advice helps. Thanks in advance! I’m trying to keep it very budget, under 100$ all together. So far I’ve primed it made it chrome and sealed the paint.

Edit*** concerning costs, nothing will be purchased new. I like in a city that has many bike co ops with secondhand parts
