Don't know this model, but looks like it's a very cheap model from around 2000-2002.

Hi-tens steel frame with basic components, so probably not worth putting any money into it

Skip?



Dunno really. Maybe Brixton Cycles? I have a £70 voucher there so let me know if you're getting anything from them.

Though I don't actually know of any fixed-only mtb-spacing hub - just seen a reversible singlespeed hub which can accomodate a track cog. But with a cheap steel frame you could get away with bending it and fitting a road-spacing which is only 5mm shorter.

Yes that's a full inch, might be pushing it even on steel. I'd have a go though! How much is it?

Stop :!: :!: :!: :!: :!:
Don't bend anything, Theres a spacer kit you can get to turn an ordinay mtb hub to a single speed. Then you can use either an old derailer or a a special trick thing which takes up the chain slack.

not sure if I made any sence there

You gonna get the on-one marco?
Might be interested in a fixed sprocket for bmx chain.
