Has anyone in the uk got a fixed gear tandem? I think the idea is so epic – I might go about building my own tandem fixed gear if I can find two matching classic raleigh’s of enough similarity. Thats a tandem fixie I would love to own. Whats every1′s take on the tandom fixed gear?

I have had a fixed gear bike as my pc wallpaper for the last year or so, I have gone between a few different bikes but I thought I would see if I can find any decent nice wallpapers of fixed gear bikes about the interwebz. The first one I found was this: a lovely example of a fixed gear, in nice high res which is perfect for my big lcd’s.

I have always had a plan in my head to do europe by bike, its a great Idea but to put something like that into action you have to have a fewquid behind you. This is a nice video that shows why I would love to take my fixed gear around europe – I would record it all and put it on european fixed gear .com or something similar!

Waking up early is rubbish, that is unless you are waking up early to beat the skaters to the ramps on fixies. Early morning fixed gear riding is great fun, less to no people and fewer cars on the roads and no stoner skaters. These guys have the right idea:
Get up early, ride fixed gear!

Merry christmas to all you land lovers boasting fixed gear’s. I hope you got some nice hubs and stems and your new bike is in parts ready to stick together before going on a midnight cruise.
I just wish it would snow some so I could go skid my fixie around..

Bikes are fun, wouldn’t you agree? Whether your chipping it into town on a fixed gear road bike or pelting down a muddy slope on something more rugged. But what would define as the worlds best bike? the one bike that irrelevant of money, materials (got to be real obviously) and time you would give anything for?
Would it be a fixed gear road bike? In actual fact, at least for me personally I would usually more opt for a fixed gear track bike, road bikes are nice but they don’t stand up to tricks like missed bunnyhops onto curbs etc very well, in fact I have a funny story about that but thats for another time, In my eyes the best bike I ever road was my 1980′s Raleigh fixed gear track bike, something I 100% regret selling on.
Bespoke bikes is a huge business, I can’t see why none of you custom bicycle builders arent’ webbing it fully! I am looking for a little bespoke bicycle builder in outer london, I know the guys name but I lost his number and for the life of me I can’t find him anywhere online! But when I started the search I realised – theres not many of you doing much online?
I have seen some excellent bike frames built custom and stuck on forums but I havent seen a decent website dedicated to bespoke bicycles since searching the web last for bike pornography (which can I say is a monthly thing that I revel in doing!)
So come on all you bespoke bicycle guys – let me know where you are, get web-able or at least tell me about yourselves 
we all love bespoke bikes so where are the real pro makers?
Anyone ever ridden fixed gear down a mountain? I wouldn’t dare do it on my raleigh but I think I have seen a few single speed mountain bikes around, for the life of me I can’t remember where or what make they were – every bike shop I search online doesnt seem to have any – This makes me think its not a common make that produecs fixedgear mtb’s, they might have even been bespoke bikes?
In theory I almost thing fixed gear mountain biking would work better than it does in the city, you have your long complex down hills, you could still keep the common mountain bike suspension but just loose all the gears, youd be faster in downhills and the bike would be a good 10th lighter so jumping and controling it should be easier? I know its not a very fixie mentality but I might just buy or build one, for exploration if nothing else!
