Thank you. I will take your advice. I'm in the process of getting a used bike today. When I pick it up, i'll post a pic on the thread "post ur fixie". Im gonna sell this frame then Frown
Bummer cuz I love the look of this frame.

good luck!

but i'd suggest keeping this frame, and building a real road bike. but i hope you got it as a module, cause its a pretty specific fork for that frame.

Do not pass go. That would be a waste of an awesome frame. Take that, build it up with some 7900 like you should, and be done with it. If you want a fixed gear, spend 400. Don't be silly.

lol dude. i agree. fixy ppl are trend whores and f*cking stupid.

riding clapped out frames not ment for fixed geared forces.....


i dont see why fixy's are soo cool but real road bikes for real men eqquipped with real gears are lame? lmao.

You can easily build a fixie out of this bike with a chain tensioner. There's a derailleur hanger to mount it.

Ok, i'll ask my LBS if they carry a chain tensioner. But I heard using a chain tensioner to build a fixed gear is a no no.

um.... let me break it to you this way... there is no possible way to use a chain tensioner to make a fixie. and why would you take a old roubaix frame with vertical drops and even make a hipster mobile. you can make a SINGLE SPEED no prob with a chain tensioner. but not a fixed gear. no way. because it has nothing to do with how tight or loose the chain is, its all in the hub. for a fixed gear you need a fixed hub. thats how its "fixed".

but its most def a roubaix, and fixies are super gay. dont make one. single speeds arent that bad, but fixies are super gay. especially on a frame not made for them.

we already covered this. read up a little. an although i agree with you that fixies are gay and you definitely shouldn't make one, specially considering its a roubaix pro frame. buuuut on another note you CAN make it a fixie, not with a chain tensioner but a Whiteindustries ENO fixie hub.
