Made it!



Finally finished Freda the fixie, and I have to say I am very pleased with the result. Challenges to overcome were to make a bolt to mount the front brake, a headset spacer and fitting the mudguards.



Still pondering over the gearing current set up is 38 - 16 as the rear wheel is pulled right back in the frame there is no more chain adjustment so I am thinking to fit a 17T sprocket on to lower the gearing and give a little chain adjustment.



Now all that remains is to start my next project, a Amaco road bike endorsed by Tony Doyle circa 1987 the year when I first started racing happy days!
