Fixed Mountain Bikes

Ive been riding my mountain bike around with 700c wheels on it for a while now. It felt ok so I decided to chop off all the brake mounts and cable guides and make it a dedicated fixed gear frame.

Obviously the geometry is a bit messed up, but if you cant afford a Brooklyn and you've got an old 90s mountain bike frame lying around and someone who can weld, I think its a good alternative.
The raised BB height will stop pedal strike and the longer top tube will give you almost zero toe overlap and also means it feels better running a short bmx stem. They are also stronger and cheaper than track frames and most likely have a 1 1/8th inch headtube so you can run a bmx looking fork.
Ive seen a few in London that Ted has converted, I took a pic of odge's one at TFG the other day.

Down sides are the handling is not great, it looks kinda wrong, and you messed up a perfectly good mountain bike.
But I think thats kinda what Skull Bike club is all about.
Which is why I was surprised it took me so long to realize that the funny mag wheels I got off ebay for my other Blurple vision had disc mounts on them, meaning I could simply bolt on the cog I already had from London Fixie and.....

Another retarded pointlessly heavy bike to dick around london on.

Yeah man, those bikes look mean. Think I'll do something like that with one of Bruce's old Diamondback frames.

yeah exactly now your getting it. I had heaps of fun with that offroad board down at pigeon mountain. SBC isn't about classifications its about modifications. Just talk to Brian one day he will show you the way.
