Hey all,
I'm new to this forum and am seeking some singlespeed/fixed frame advice.
I'm considering building a ss/fixed road bike (I've bent too many der. hangers, and I love my old singlespeed, converted 80's Schwinn
)
Stock frames are my preference, and yes, I know that custom is an option from a number of different builders (IF, CoMotion, etc.). Steel is nice, but aluminum is good too; I'd prefer to stay away from exotic materials (carbon, titanium, etc.) due to cost and other issues. I'd like standard or compact road geometry, not track geometry (like on a Bianchi Pista).
So: Steel, stock frame, ss/fixed compatible, standard road or compact geometry...please let me know what frames you like/dislike, or what you'd advise based on your personal riding expertise.
Many thanks.
Mr. P.
