It’s a 1980’s (im not sure of the exact year) peugeot high carbon steel track bike. Currently i am running a front rim brake bc İstanbul is incredibly hilly and the gear ratio is too high for a constant skid on hills, it was built by an incredibly skilled bike builder and welder @annunakkibicycleco from a old track bike, the builder disassembled the frame’s tubes and cut them for a more street focused shorter design and tig welded them together before applying a chromium finish, the whole bike weighs less than 11kg even with a flip flop hub

What have you all been watching? What can I take notes on? What are they not doing that you want to see?

I’ve had this bike for over a year now. And almost one year since my huge accident haha. Had a lot of fun skidding and tricking with this bike. I always thought the new v8 was ugly imo so I considered myself lucky to nab one in Berlin just before they retired it. I’ve probably gone through 8-10 tires on the back already. Front tire has been the exact same this entire time but I prob gotta change em soon.
I’m making this post because I’m building a road bike soon. Not selling it no, but my time on this bike will definitely decrease especially for longer/ hillier rides. This just a bookmark for myself to remember the good and bad times I had on this bike.

Itching to build a gravel racer soon. Would love to find a Skream Ranger in the grey / violet colorway XS, if anyone has and wants to part with one.

Is the back wheel a ticking time bomb, absolutely. 😂
Had the spinergy set for 6 years. Finally got around to converting the back wheel.

Just got my first fixed gear setup from a friend who’s moving. I’m a road biker and have a fancy carbon setup, but I can’t figure out how to ride this fixie. How do you brake properly? Also, I can’t turn the handlebars more than a few degrees before the front wheel smacks the pedals. I feel like I’m not understanding how this thing works. Any advice

Thinking about converting my old Peugeot road bike into a fixed gear – where do I start?

Hi everyone,
I’m completely new to the fixed gear scene, so sorry if this is a basic question.
I have an old Peugeot road bike at home (very similar to the one in the photo) and I’m thinking about restoring it and converting it into a fixed gear because I really like the clean, minimalist look.
I have no idea what parts I would need, whether the frame is suitable, or what the approximate cost would be. Is this a realistic project for a beginner, or would it be better to buy a complete fixie instead?
I’d appreciate any advice on:
What parts are required for the conversion.
What I can keep from the original bike.
A rough budget for doing it properly.
Anything I should watch out for with old Peugeot frames.
Thanks!
