First fixed gear I’ve ever made, I found a early 80’s Peugot online for 25 euros. I striped it, threw on some spray paint and then went shopping. So far I could only afford a back Velocity Deep V, BLB cog, good ol’ Oury grips and Shadow Conspiracy’s Interlock 2 chain. The damn thing came about 6 links too short so I have scabs in til I can buy a few more. I’m using a 48/18 ratio for the mad streets of Marseille. The rest of the bike I found/borrowed/stole ’til I can replace them. I’m petty happy with it for a first build. Rides pretty well though it’s still taking some time to get used to the feel. I threw on the family crest to represent…

IT looks nice from afar but the paint is gonna chip soon. You might also want to check your chain tension.

Yeah, saw the chain in the pics, been fixed since the photo. Chipped paint, meh.

I like it. It has great potential. Just spray a nice clear coat over the bare metal and get a matching front wheel.

Trying to match the chain to the rims does not work. But like Mr. Barker said, “Le price is right!”

“The rest of the bike I found/borrowed/stole”–STOLE?
That’s low.

right, so begged/borrowed/stole is an expression. Didn’t actually seal things. You can relax…

I like your family crest, better than an manufacturer’s label. good work.

I steal the wheels from one of my bikes and put’m on the other when I want to change rides. I’m such a scumbag!!
