Hello everybody,
My name is Gabriel Vereczkei, I live in Media, PA., which is about 20 minutes south of Philadelphia. I have been building bikes for about 3 years, mostly single speed conversions, recently started converting and building fixed gear bikes. This happens to be my 200th bike. Raleigh Record frame, Velocity Deep-V non-machined wheels. I did all the sand blasting and the powder coating. I hope you like it. I hope to build and convert a lot more in the coming years. If you want to know more about this particular bike or if you wish to send me an email, send it to gabrielvereczkei@yahoo.com. Thank you.

That looks unreal!

Great bike! A wonderful expression of individuality that the fixie represents!

The bike is Amazing
great job!
October 31st, 2008 @3:53 am
Not my cup of tea. Looks like a tacky ghost bike.
October 31st, 2008 @9:36 am
To have this bike rated as the highest bike tells me you are all a bunch of school girls or 12, or both. I like your enthusiasm Gabriel. But to the rest of you the fixed gear spirit are the guys who climbed the Pyrenees or the Major Taylors of this world. Not bikes that look like daisy’s.

I think that this is the best bicycle built I have ever seen. It looks extraordinary. The white and yellow color mix shows imagination and creativity. The craftsmanship appears to be superb. I wish this was my bike and I also wish I could create something like this. Again in my opinion this is the best looking bike I have ever seen. I congratulate you Gabriel, this bike is a remarkable job.

I really like this bike. It caught my eyes partly because of the all white, partly because of the yellow accents of tires and chain and handlebar wrap. I think it is quite an exquisite workmanship and design. I am delighted people are pushing the envelope. Terrific bike.
The rest of my comment is to this COLE guy and to his statement about the sprit of the fixed gear guys who climbed the Pyrenees. You have absolutely no clue what it is to be a fixed gear spirit if you mention the Pyrenees. The Pyrenees and the spirit of the fixed gear sensation are as far from each other as the Earth is from the Moon. We had an excruciating time of 2 months to clime the Pyrenees – including Pico d’Aneto the highest point within the Pyrenees - this past summer with a 10 speed road bike, so Cole if you climbed the Pyrenees with a single fixed gear bike…you are Superman.
November 3rd, 2008 @9:52 am
Sorry Gabriel, not your best bike in anyway. I tend to lean with Cole here.
And to FLT the Pyrenees are climbed in the Tour De France and were ridden on fixed gear bikes in the days before derailleurs, hipsters, and Sambas. If we have to tell you who Major Taylor is well then! In fact a lady by the name of Annie Londonderry rode around the world on a fixed gear. FLT have you ever been to a Velodrome, or ridden farther then the local coffee haunt or 7-11 on a fixed gear?
November 9th, 2008 @6:22 pm
What wonderful, exceptional creation of absolute beauty. This bike is by far the best bicycle within this site.
November 10th, 2008 @5:14 am
Isn’t it amazing how all your bikes have so many votes in such a short time? And it’s even more amazing how most of the positive comments on your bikes seem to be coming from the same person.
November 28th, 2008 @6:56 pm
How would you stop? No brakes and no clips….
Sorry but I have to disagree a few of you saying best bike ever. :-/
November 29th, 2008 @9:34 am
You guys gotta be kidding! This is one of the ugliest, most unimaginative bikes I have ever seen! There is no style in powdercoating everything white. Looks like even your screws and headbadge are coated, lol, as if you didn;t even take the bike apart before you coated it.
December 1st, 2008 @3:47 pm
This bike is the coolest I have ever seen.
January 1st, 2009 @7:50 pm
Looks like you’ve been busy voting for your own bikes again Gabriel. lol
January 16th, 2009 @6:40 pm
Looks like a ghost bike. Bad form.
January 23rd, 2009 @5:30 pm
This bike is TERRIBLE!!!!!
What’s up with the saddles on all your bikes? They look like they were taken off of a kids bike. I think this is your worst looking build so far Gabriel. But the rest of them aren’t far behind since they all look the same anyway.
January 24th, 2009 @8:58 pm
Interesting color choices. I agree that the small seat makes the whole thing look unbalanced.
February 3rd, 2009 @4:31 pm
One of the worst looking bikes i’ve seen. Just terrible.
February 3rd, 2009 @8:27 pm
C’mon. You’ve built yourself a ghost bike and that is not cool. Powder coating the whole damn bike has ruined it. Keep at it and maybe you’ll finally build yourself a good bike.
March 1st, 2009 @8:10 pm
This has to be one of the worst murdered out bikes I have ever seen, it looks absolutely horrible.
It is completely inconceiveable this bike can really have gotten a 60% rating, conclusion being this guy is a dirty cheat who uprates his own bikes…
March 21st, 2009 @10:58 am
At first glance I was like “WOW” and I really do like the idea of this color scheme, but after looking closely it look like you just took a spray can to the entire bike. It would have been to see more non-original parts on the bike, but good job on the color scheme.
March 21st, 2009 @5:49 pm
Hey everyone!
I am new to http://www.myfixedgear.net.
I hope I can be a regular here!
March 22nd, 2009 @2:25 pm
crap, shiite paint, shiite saddle, poor execution of a boring idea
April 28th, 2009 @12:15 pm
ugly as shit… don´t understand this one…
April 28th, 2009 @2:45 pm
Ok, so I can dip a bike in White-Out and call it a hipster/trickster/fixie…….FAIL. Its Fixed Gear. Why don’t you just go get a Bianchi Pista put some pink oury’s on it, and magically now its the most pimpin bike on the planet.
May 25th, 2009 @11:03 am
Don’t like this bike at all. Of the few things in life I am superstitious of, riding a primarily white bike is one of them. Its a bit like throwing yourself a fake funeral.
October 3rd, 2009 @1:45 am
WOW… WOW…….. umm…. WOW…
I…
I can’t BELIEVE that all these people this this is the best bike on the site!
It’s so OBVIOUS that all this douche did was remove all the derailers, cables, brakes, etc. Hung the whole damned thing up and sprayed it down with cheap white paint. Then just added on the wheels, chain, bar tape, and seat(I dunno, maybe he sprayed that too) at the end. It looks like there’s still masking tape on the headset (If it is masking tape, I’m surprised he wasn’t stupid enough to spray the headset too).
all these positive comments have got to be this gabe guy trying to drum up some business for himself. You give REAL creative people doing decent conversions a bad name.
Gabe, I’m tired of seeing your shitty bikes on this site.
October 29th, 2009 @9:28 pm
Did you spray paint the entire bike all at once? It looks like all of the components got spray painted too which is definitely not good for moving parts.
There’s a lot of things that I don’t like but I chalk up to just different preferences like riser bars and color chains and stuff, but building and riding a bike that’s basically a ghost bike should not be done. Aside from the fact that its like asking for trouble cosmically, its also degrading to the ghost bikes that are out there to mark someone actually being hit and killed.
Not cool.
December 23rd, 2009 @10:00 pm
CHROME is COOL, the Raleigh Heron died with White Paint. However nice color tyres. Eduard lover of chrome and the Raleigh logo.
January 19th, 2010 @4:50 pm
I Vote for removal of this bike from the site! White it Out!
January 19th, 2010 @4:50 pm
I second that…
January 21st, 2010 @12:05 am
I’m going to mail this thing a pipe bomb.
January 24th, 2010 @12:32 pm
This is one of the best bikes on this sit. I just want to see the bikes built by these people with all the garbage comments.
January 30th, 2010 @5:28 pm
Too much Rattle Can White and covering the Chrome and the Raleigh Heron Headbadge. The basic bike is decent except for the little saddle but some people have a smaller rearend for sure. Thanks.
February 8th, 2010 @12:15 pm
Is CS back from winter in Costa Rica ? or is this his Ghost Bike
February 9th, 2010 @11:54 pm
I got this bike printed on my toilet paper.
February 10th, 2010 @4:22 pm
ng excellent idea, it will sell for sure, I want to shit just thinking about it. Thanks
February 16th, 2010 @1:06 am
How lazy. Craftsmanship? You can’t even tell what the EFF is on there!!! Why don’t you build 20 amazing bikes instead of 200 craptastic convies. White out with yellow tape and a chain does not make a theme. The enthusiasm for this trash makes me want to gouge my own eyes out so I never have to see another Gabriel conversion.
February 20th, 2010 @10:31 pm
Someone must rescue the Heron on this Raleigh Headbadge before it succumbs to the heavy load of white spray paint. The brass may still be ok. Thanks
February 20th, 2010 @11:11 pm
508 votes really?
February 21st, 2010 @6:37 am
Every time I Google My Fixed Gear this is the bike that appears. Can this be changed to Vintage or Raleigh Pathfinder or Raleigh Getter ? Soon Please !
March 22nd, 2010 @2:15 pm
Uh oh…wait a minute… You forgot the valve stems and caps. You know what…just pull the inner tubes out and completely blast them with white paint too and that’ll take care of everything.
March 22nd, 2010 @4:06 pm
how long has this been going on?i had no idea.this madness must end now!Raleighs of the world unite!
March 27th, 2010 @1:11 pm
God damnit looking at this bike pisses me off. No respect for the dead, bikes, or yourself gabe. You suck, seriously, you suck.
March 27th, 2010 @1:25 pm
I like the frame (under that cake-load of crap white paint), the tyres and chain.
Not to my taste at all- I think it just looks crap!
You can’t even see the gorgeous Raleigh head badge that would be a good feature! If there was yellow lug lining I’d like it more, but unfortunately I feel it’s rubbish
March 27th, 2010 @1:31 pm
Yuck. Like white bird crap.
April 11th, 2010 @12:28 am
Only an idiot like John Thompson would worship another gabe quickie.
April 11th, 2010 @1:06 am
A bird shat on my windscreen the other day. It looked just like this. Right down to the yellow edges. I did the only decent thing, and wiped it all away.
April 11th, 2010 @1:09 am
Hell! Even I mask up a head badge before letting rip with the steet artists favorite. Where’s the skill on show here? Would’ve prefered it if he’d left it origional.
April 11th, 2010 @5:31 am
Now this bike can be parted out . I could use the tyres.
April 11th, 2010 @5:58 am
WSB, considering he didn’t mask off anything when he spray painted this bike I’m willing to bet he spray painted over the wheel hubs too. Also gabe, spray painting and powder coating are not even close to the same thing. You’re a giant piece of shit gabe, I hope you know that.
April 11th, 2010 @6:08 am
CS no doubt the hubs are drenched in Rustoleum but all I need are the tyres and I think he had them expertly installed. The Raleigh Heron is long gone but maybe the brass can be cleaned up or at least removed and given a proper Memorial.
April 11th, 2010 @7:49 am
i rest my case,Lufty.some things are best forgotten,and I had forgotten this POS.
April 17th, 2010 @6:35 pm
This douche bag has 28 bikes for sale on MyFixedGear, please remove him, he is polluting the site with his commerce..
Copy and paste this into Google to see exactly how many he has:
“Gabriel Vereczkei” site:http://www.myfixedgear.net
Why can’t you use eBay and leave this site to people into bikes?
May 7th, 2010 @6:27 am
JT liked this bike ? Maybe before the Rustoleum Bomb Attack. Where is this bike today ?
May 24th, 2010 @11:25 am
Love the records, looks amazing
May 27th, 2010 @4:10 am
i like the color scheme but it does looks spray painted and the little seat kind of kills it. something is shady with the whole gabe situation.
May 27th, 2010 @4:23 am
vote for my bike to beat this one. chrome and yellow is better than white and yellow. besides this looks like a spray paint job. over 500 votes? something is shady about this.
June 14th, 2010 @12:55 pm
Kevin, this isn’t a bike. It’s a form of terrorism.
June 14th, 2010 @12:59 pm
I’m buying this bike from Gabe. He has agreed to sell it for $2.37….I know, I know, I’m getting shafted on the price.
June 14th, 2010 @1:01 pm
Biff, I think I know where this is going… I’ll bring the gasoline and matches.
June 17th, 2010 @10:11 pm
Yeah….not a fan. The color concept is interesting enough. The spray-paint-it-to-be-in-a-museum-exhibit not so much. And the seat just takes it
June 18th, 2010 @6:46 pm
5.64 ?????????? vote again today If you work for Rustoleum vote twice.
June 18th, 2010 @7:57 pm
I’m going to have to mail Gabe some explosives, just to stop him from brutalising any more bikes
June 28th, 2010 @3:18 pm
It looks like an art instalation or what ever its called,it would make a nice display or ornament,I agree all white isnt the best as I have done a few Ghost bikes and vergeing on disrespect,if you left hubs chainring headbadge and all bolts unpainted then I think it would look very workable
July 10th, 2010 @6:49 pm
Just to make sure we are totally clear here- if, god forbid, I happen to meet my fate on a bicycle on some city street, if anyone puts this piece of crap at the scene of an the accident, I will haunt you until kingdom come….
July 10th, 2010 @7:17 pm
but they would only steal the tyres ! Unless they are spray painted also.
July 19th, 2010 @11:32 pm
creepy.
July 28th, 2010 @1:43 pm
Looks like bird shit and mustard! This bike is such a joke.
July 28th, 2010 @2:20 pm
599 votes with 5.56 average ? and Luftmensh’s Tank is only 5.21 This is hard to figure, Gabriel must have a fan club.
