Curious

Can someone help me identify what my frame is? I've had it for a very long time and we still can't identify what this frame is, the seller told us that it was a classic frame. No serial numbers, and no brands also when i bought it. I'm really curious about it.

First Fixed gear bike

Last time I had a bike I was twelve, but I wanted to get in shape and have a little more fun on my commute so I got this; a SBC Core Line. About six months later and love it more than the day I got it. Fixed gear is legit the most fun I’ve ever had on my way to class.

What bars are these?

I bought this bike off of someone years ago and got rid of it not too long after. I really enjoyed the bars while riding. I’m looking for another set in this style for my new bike. Anyone know what type of bars they are?

First flip flop 🚲

I just got this State Bike 4130. Really enjoying it so far. I’m curious of this brand’s reputation. Also, what are the perks of freewheel and fixed? I haven’t gone fixed for more than 10 minutes yet.

Steel Axle Replacement thoughts?

So my novatech hubs factory axles has screwed themselves over causing my lock nuts to be loose, and I was told to purchase steel axle for my front & rear.

Now, the question is that will it be worth it for my fixie? How's the durability and do I need to put lube on it after bike cleaning? Please share your thoughts, thank you.

hello i need tips for riding fixed gear

so, im very young, and I currently have a road bike for abt 1 year now, i have been going on long rides for like 20 km to 30km, which is kinda good for a young person, 7th grade to be specific, and I tried using a fixed gear for the first time borrowing my friend and it's kind of hard, not hard as in balancing, hard as in to control steady speed, i cant go 20 km/h without going to stop, i cant handle well on fixed gears because I dont know how to actually skid, i know how it's done but I cant so it for real, fixed gears in my area is relativly common, well not for going to one place to another, it's just for fun, to go fast, and to annoy drivers, i know basic laws, basic hand signals and others, im thinking of switching RB to Fixie in 8th Grade, what do you guys think?

Restored. Repainted.

Had gotten this used double-butted CrMo frameset few months ago. Stripped the paint down and added new colours and decals. Stock components replaced with sealed bearing ones, drive ratio upgraded from 44:18 to 50:17.
