The Fixie/Fixei bikes blog. Look up some of our builds and events as well as latest news and products.
As you may or may not know, we have a studio full of bikes in London ran by the very brilliant Maris Skujins. His website is www.single-speed.co.uk. Check it out! I've pinched a couple of his glorious photos for this blog. Cheers Maz.
Special shout out to the guys at Blomson who made us feel incredibly welcome on our visit to holland last week! I wish we could've brought back everything in that sublime warehouse of theirs including those cracking sandwiches. Many thanks to Morris and Martin for a really great day and we look forward very much to our next visit. Total stand up guys. Thank you for your hospitality.
Don't worry fixie fans, we did bring back a number of goodies. Check out the website for the recent updates. Some pictures in this blog.
Oh and those brown tyres are already on my personal bike. xD

Met Stuart today in his workshop in Southsea.
Quite a selection of frames and parts scattered around the converted bar
Great chat and impressed with his long term plans for bikes in the city.
Stuart tells us he has come a long way since June and working from a garage at the bottom of a garden.
He taught himself how to fit brake pads and replace cables, and now works with his employee Peter to give old bikes a new lease on life. Learning something new everyday.
He has finally found the "Thing" he needs to make his life have a real sense of purpose. BIKES !!
He' says he is not quite ready to launch himself on the public at large yet.................................. but watch this space.
Lovely Tea too ..................................... thanks Stu

Today all postal charges have been removed for deliveries of small components within the UK and most of the EU.
Adam MacPherson said earlier today Where is the fairness of buying on line only to get the shock of your life when you see the final postal charges.
All our prices now are inclusive of post and packing. SIMPLES
Dan from Gosport had a test ride on 3 of the Fixei bikes yesterday.
A 56cm custom in Cream with Deep V's & Halo Courier tyres and an OMG leather saddle.
The next was another fixed gear in Neon Blue 56cm with deep sectioned rims and semi slick 700 X 25 white tyres.
For his final ride he chose a Matt Black 53cm With the wheel flipped for a single speed ride. He really liked the SS but fell in love with the Neon Blue Fixie.
24 hours later he is back in touch to order his own Fixei ................................ and a 2nd one for the very lucky Natalie.
There will be plenty of heads turning when these two ride through Gosport on their Fixies
We changed the front page to show off the Fixed gear bikes and components.
Let us know what you think.
Straight to the business end let everyone see what's available before it sells out.
