<div>Hey jib, </div>
<div> </div>
<div>If/when you receive the information you requested from the collective minds on this email list could you find it in your heart to forward on to me any and all replies. I'm at the tail end of my first summer on a single speed and I really want to go fixed over the winter. Ebay'ing a new wheel is an option but I'm convinced building one would be best.

<div>Thanks (from a stranger),</div>

<br>more parts) from my front door to the basement today and felt like the thing<br>was totally out of control when i stopped pedaling and the freewheel kicked<br>in.<br><br>i want to convert my old mountain bike in to a fixie for the winter. it's
<br>likely that i'll need a new frame (unless i can find a cheaper way to have<br>someone fix the crack in the frame) but my main problem is that i have no<br>idea how to strip all of the gears from the original wheel and insert a cog.
<br>i know i sound like a newb but i don't really care; i'm fixated on fixies<br>and i want to make this happen despite the fact that i have no idea what i'm<br>doing. =p i started looking up info online tonight but haven't gotten much
<br>thus far, so if any of you have info regarding resources that i should check<br>out please let me know.<br><br>any info would be extremely appreciated.<br><br>-jib<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>>From: Jym Dyer <<a href="mailto:jym@econet.org">

<br>><br>>=v= While amusing in parts, it seems to be more an exercise in<br>>_New_Yorker_ prose style than in journalistic accuracy. The<br>>writer does paint a picture, but it's not a picture of the<br>>NYC bike scene I know. It comes across to me as if the "holy"
<br>>business was inspired by the performance of Rev. Billy, who is<br>>indeed a (wonderful) piece of the scene, but not one to build<br>>that trope around.<br>><br>>=v= Some corrections are in order:<br>>
<br>> (1) Barbara is not a blonde.<br>> (2) She rides a folding bike, not a child's bike.<br>> (3) The beer is no longer "hidden" in the bathroom.<br>> Indeed, it's generally not "hidden" at all.
