The frame & fork...
So here is the frame and fork. The frame was put together by Ted in our
workshop. It was built to Teds initial specifications which were… 1.
Make it comfortable to ride, 2. Make it fillet braizsed (for strength)
and 3. You have to be able to bar spin with a 700c wheel. The fork was
kindly donated from Charge bikes, who sponsor Ted for his riding.
The paint job was done at Armourtex, our trusted powder coating
specialists. We have been painting most of our bike there for 2 years
now. Thank you Steve, see you on Thursday!
The frame and forks were finished with a matte high temperature black, then a gloss black was applied for the details.
This is our vision of what a Vans fixed gear bike should be like and
is a complete one off which will never be produced again… (by us!)

The bike will be on show in the window of the Vans Carnaby Street store (London) Tuesday/Wednesday onwards for one month.

I first got a Continental Top Contact in Feb this year and it was still in tact up until April just after we got back from Paris and even then It would not die! Believe me I tried to skid that thing into the ground, I was carrying a spare in my bag for at least 2 weeks. I finally nailed it... well more like, it got screwed around mid April! (the screw went straight through the rim too) Since then everyone @ fixedgearlondon has been using them on the rear.
Yesterday we received...
So... we just wanted to say thank you Continental!!

Just got back from Paris, things are really going off over there! I stayed with my good friend Louis-David (www.madbrosrecords.com ) for a couple of nights (Thank you!) Hooked up with Nordine (check his forks out! ) Visited Cyclope , Starcow, Kulte and went riding with the Pignon Fixe
crew. Which was amazing! They meet every Thursday, 6pm @ Palais Royale,
then ride to La Défense. If you are ever in town you should go and ride
with them. I had an amazing time, the scene is very welcoming in Paris
and it has progressed a lot since we were there earlier in the year.

So... this weekend Szymon from Katana frames came over to hand over a
frame set to Oscar. The Forgotten Dreams frame has a dead straight
fork, which enables bar spins without any toe over lap with a 700c
wheel.
Oscar is the first person to ride this frameset and is proud to be
sponsered by Katana... lets see what happens now he is riding it!
Thanks Szymon!

Jonathan Burkett from Mash came to hang out with us a while
ago, he is living in Berlin now (need to get out there and ride
sometime soon!) I just read this below on the Honeyee/MASH blo g and wanted to say thanks!!
"London was amazing. Their take on Track bikes is definitely a bit more
recent, so more into parts, and tricks, but I think Odge and Andy(of
Fixedgearlondon) are getting it right. They have the right attitude
and are creating a good scene in London. In a lot of ways it reminds me
of SF four years ago. I would definitely watch out for London."
We are working on a lot of things right now... Fixed-mag being one of the things.
If you need a bike please keep pestering us, there are at least 30 people on the waiting list.
New T-shirts will be out mid september.
Fixedgearlondon gets hooked up by: Vans , Eastpak and Carhartt . Thanks for your support!
We ride tonight!!

Bike description: 50cm Vivalo Gloss Black with rainbow sparkles,
Dura-Ace sealed NJS headset, Nitto Stem, Riser's with Grey Champ grips,
Grey seatpost with EGKS written on the side in black marker pen,
Kashimax black saddle, Dura-Ace cranks (90's), MKS clips(odd one is a
medium one is a large), Single black toe straps, Shimano Bottom
Bracket, Front wheel- Dura Ace hub radial laced with black spokes on a
white Velocity Deep V, Rear wheel- Dura-Ace hub Laced 3x with silver

Emma is very sad, this is a one of a kind bike. She will be so happy if
she can get it back. Thanks in advance.
