A fixie is a fixed gear bike or a single speed bike and
   they have become the bike to have in today's urban
  jungle. It doesn't matter if you are new to cycling or a
 seasoned cyclist a fixed gear bike allows you to break
free and have the ultimate riding experiences. With that
 in mind many people are trying to build their own bike
                     with fixie bike parts.




single speed bicycle
If you live in the city you have probably seen these bikes being ridden
effortlessly by bike messengers or others, slipping in and out of traffic
with freedom and a defiance to the endless line of cars grinding along on
their daily commute These bikes traditionally have been self built as
such they have become a medium of self-expression for the rider/builder
This also means there is a sense of pride on the riders' part and a respect
and admiration for other fixie riders But they are sometimes purchased
from established cycling brands or boutique assemblers and customized
by the rider to his own aesthetic taste
If you are looking to build your own fixie you need to know the parts you
need and the best brands to work with Usually you will start off with an
old road bike frame if you looking to do it inexpensively These old frames
are tough babies made out of steel and have a solid, stiff frame which will
take the abuse it will get Some people like to use old Peugeot frames
Used road bike parts or track bike parts the kind used in a Velodrome at
the Olympics are ideal for this You should keep your eye out for old dead
road bikes that you can get parts off of But today these bikes are
becoming popular enough that many of the main brands of bikes are now
making them for this new market This means that you can buy fixie bike
parts right from some manufacturers
The reality is though that most of the enthusiasts that are building a bike
themselves are trying to do it on the cheap So for these cyclists one of
the skills you must learn is to figure out where you can find these parts
cheaply As I have already mentioned one way is cannibalizing them of
other old bikes Let me caution you here though that I am in no way
indorsing you to take them of a bike that isn't yours
Some fixie riding hipsters try to make it look like he just found the parts
at a flea market But most of the time he has had to search for many
hours and spent some good cash to get the parts for his bike For the
hipster fixie rider often the life span of his bike is quite short as they often
don't use any kind of lock on their bike so they get quickly stolen Now
you probably wouldn't catch a courier doing that with his only way of
making money but others do
This is one reason they look to build them cheap Finding fixie bike parts
and building your own ride is not that difficult but it is often really
appreciated when they get it on the road and have their freedom ride
