Guest Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 What would i need to change from a normal road bike (orbea mente, carbon fibre forks, full race spec) into a fixie ?? Any hep would be great thanks - reason for this topic is that i've been offered a road bike but would prefer a fixe wondering if i could change this into a fixie ??

totaltrials Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 It'd cost you more to take all the bits off (brakes, gears), have them lying about for no reason then change the hub and manage to get it fixed then to just buy a pretty cheap fixie like aClaud Butler Couier 2010 for £289. Then you can have both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
