Breathing life back into a hard tail MTB frame
So I've just finished a project building-up this 8 year old Legless Lizard mountain bike frame as a single speed flip-flop fixie. The frame has been in a bike bag in the garage for years now and its great to be able to breath life back into it.
If anyone's interested in doing something similar, or just interested in what went into it, I kept a blog of the process. Check it out http://hybridbike.posterous.com/ be good to hear your thoughts on whether the flip-flop system is innovative or not? I've not seen many around, but then I don't hang-out much in the fixie world 
Innovative new bike build - The Hybrid Flip-Flop Fixie
I've been thinking about what to do with an 8 year old mtb frame I have for a while. Last week I was browsing online and found this fixie solution from Velo Solo that enables you to fix the cog onto the disc brake mount. This means that on the freehub side, you can run another cog, making a hybrid flip-flop fixie & free wheel bike (flip-flop because you can flip the wheel over to change 
). See picture it makes way more sense... so that's the project. A hybrid front suspension freehub street bike or a super fast fixie for getting to and from work nice and quick.
Manly Dam records for single speed, fixed gear or unicycle?
Hi guys,
I tried searching but couldn't come up with anything. Anyone have any records or good times for doing a loop at Manly Dam either on a single speed, fixed gear or unicycle? I'm trying to compare my times with others. I just broke my personal best the other day and did it on a 26" unicycle in 54 minutes and 4 dismounts. My goal is to do it under 50 minutes with 1 or 0 falls. Let me know if you ride a unicycle, single speed or fixed bike so I have something to compare to. Also, just curious to what the record is for the fastest time on any bike if anyone knows?
