Fixed Gear bike

I built my fixed gear bike a year ago, I never put together some photos showing the progress so here goes. It was an old Triumph steel bike, I bought it at a thrift store for 10 dollars. I made the wheels and pieced it together over 6 months. Triumph bicycles was bought by Raleigh bicycles a while back. This had many odd measurements and was certainly a challenge to build. At least i got some cool tools out of it :).

This was an old English 3 speed, a sturdy bike. To learn more visit the authoritative encyclopedia on bikes, Sheldon Brown.
