 ............stop. Now. Before someone hurts me.

Why not, you will be able to indicate with your legs standing up on the opposite pedal.  I take it you are on about bikes and not these 
|
|
What are these bikes you speak of? 
|
|
 I don't see the point in getting a fixie for road use, I see it as quite dangerous to be honest...I am however, looking for a very cheap road bike to make as a single speed mile muncher...tell you what they're not common!
|
|
 Shame mine would be too big for you BHB, the Flyer is in need of a new home.
|
|
Too expensive! I'm talking £50 second hand bike...respray it, rebuild it, maybe replace the wheels, new saddle, bars and chainset. That kind of thing.
I've scoured all the tips for a road bike, looked in all the ads...nothing!
|
|
 By the time you have done all that would it not be just as cheep to spend 200-300 on a decent second hand bike, that needs no immediate work doing.
|
|
That would be the way I would go too MSP. But I think BHB craves the satisfaction of creation.
|
|
Ooh I like that last sentence!
And all my bikes get resprayed white anyway...so they all get rebuilt.
Still i'm off to ebay...because Ideally I'd like a road bike with an Aheadset rather than quill as i really like the look of bladed carbon forks
|
|
 Mr B, how big is your flyer, would it be suitable for a 6ft love god or someone such as myself? And how much do you want for it?
|
|
 I don't see the point in getting a fixie for road use, I see it as quite dangerous to be honest... You can leave the brakes on, you know. Although my rear one appears to have siezed from lack of use
|
|
My Flyer is a 56cm, I am 5ft 10, so it may be a little small for you DK.
|
|
I'll give you a couple of quid for it

Blimey, that's some budget - mine was half that
Took about a week to find it scouring Gumtree & Friday Ads 2 or 3 times a day.
|
|
 I really struggled on Gumtree and the like for a racer. Thought everyone and his dog would have one owt back not being used. It appears not. I'm 5'11 Mr B btw, and am generous with my collection of whisky ...
|
|
I don't drink whisky, it makes me vomit   I can't handle more than 3 pints of domestic strength lager these days. If you are interested in the bike drop me a line mark.pearson AT madison.co.uk
|
|
Yep, I found a Trek Antelope down the tip for a tenner but trying to find a racing bike is like looking for rocking horse shit.
