Anyone interested in fixie meet / ride somewhere around Brighton / Lancing / Worthing

Are you interested in a fixie meet? Some sort of a short ride along the promenade / cafe meet? It would be good to see other peoples projects and share building experiences etc. Let me know. 

Anything I can do......

Having just finished my new bike Sam posted me this 'kermit' with wooden handlebars, espresso components and a coaster wheel (it will both coast and act as a brake.. very cool). It's a real winner.


If anyone is interested there is a possibility of getting the guys from espresso to come down Brighton way to show off some of their kit. Leave me a comment if you are interested.

The B-77 is born!!!

Well it's taken a while, but another bike is born.


In metallic midnight blue and using espresso chrome wheels I think this  bike really looks the part. The frame is a 1960s raleigh tourer and having stripped it down it is now surprisingly light for an old girl. Went on a 5 mile cruise along the promenade at Worthing / Lancing and it is silent and fast.

I have tried to keep some of the originality including the centre pull front brake.


Thanks to Glen for finding these little skulls. Detail is every thing.


Please leave comments and thoughts and add in your bikes for all to see. Or if you are making a bike and would like some advise or help let us know. Always happy to help a project along.

Another fixie in the making

We have just sprayed up this old raleigh frame in a rich bronze colour. We will be building this up over the next few weeks. Watch this space...
