Up for sale here is my fixed gear bike. I bought and built it in January this year after spending 30 minutes on a velodrome and applying the n+1 rule.The intention was to use it to ride to work.
However, I have worked from home for the past 6.5 months and it has ended up being n+1-too-many, so has spent most of it’s life in the garage.Referring to Strava, it has covered just 513km (some components are from a previous bike so have been used a bit more, see below).
As such, it’s in excellent condition and being a fixed gear bike is very low on maintenance requirements.It’s perfect for commuting, winter training, chilled rides, popping to the shops and whatever other rides you want to take it on.
Frameset is a Dolan FXE, it’s 58cm size. For reference I am 186cm (6foot1)Frame dimensions (measured by me on the actual bike)Seat Tube -58cmTop Tube Horizontal -58cmHead Tube -18cmChainstay Length -42cm (but can go longer/shorter based on cog)Front Centre -61cmStack -57.5cmReach – 40cm
The frameset is very versatile. I have 25mm tyres on it now but it’s easily got clearance for more. Over the summer I took the mudguards off and used a set of 28mm schwalbe marathon on it for my 5am cyclepath rides.It has rack mounts also, but I never used them, they have nylon blanking bolts in there to avoid water ingress.
Included in the sale are some fixie spares, specific fixed gear tools, and a general repair kit. See the pics…15T cog, 17T cog, Park Lockring Tool, Park Single Speed Spanner, Tool keg with puncture kit, spare tube, CO2, nitrile gloves, puncture kit, tyre levers.
