Somehow I stumbled on this Felt and kept coming back to it. Destickered and photographed. To make it quickly street rideable have got a rear wheel with Sturmey Archer S2 Duomatic kickback from Cell Bikes coming, I'll need to find a 22 rear sprocket, use a front brake and new front wheel.

It's called Shawty by Create, brought here by a Korean student who had a wilder fixie with low front chopped bar, low 650c front rim shorter slammed fork, and high tail big deep aero 700c rear rim.

Hello all, my commuter hack! Its very rough and has been put together as cheaply as possible. But is working well and I probably do around 50-70km a week on it commuting.
Put this together for around $50. (except for the sram red front chainring which I stole off my brother). Had gears - but I binned those as they weren't working very well.
It used to be perfect for my old commute on the flat - but from my new places its much hillier so I might have to add a few teeth to the back.

Just me, like to see silver rim with silver spokes in front.

After having a spin on a mate's single speed commuter I thought 'why not give fixed gear a go'. It's a Shogun Sport and originally had a 5 speed freewheel on the back. So I used the angle grinder to cut off the larger chainring and swapped the freewheel out for a 17t track sprocket and blammo, my FG was born. I recentred the axel and redished the wheel, which then resulted in spokes being a tad too long, see attached pic. So because I wanted to do this on the cheap, I grabbed the grinder again and removed the excess spoke and took it for a ride. It lasted a few hundred km before one of the spokes let go. Fortunately for me, I had a spare set of 27" steel rims off a roadie I'd built up and swapped the spoke out and back on the road again (see how far we get this time...).
It's still running with the original steel wheelset, I will swap the spokes out for the correct length in the future and I really want to keep the 27" steel rims as long as I can. It's also still running with one of the original gumwall tyres it came with, which is bordering on needing replacement, but it's all good for the minute.
This has quickly become one of my favourite bikes, the fixed gear is a bit of a pain on some of the steeper hills, but the experience of riding FG is completely different to any other bike I have and is worth the extra uphill effort IMO!
Apologies for the poor quality last 2 pics, these are taken on a Samsung J1 mini and it has an absolute POS camera.
The total cost has been around $60 (excluding the new rear tyre as it was a spare).
Cheers,
Rob

May need to swap out the chainring soon as the Aarn maybe has taken some bendy damage but we'll see.

Edit- well I've dropped them to 100psi for the ride home today. My crappy 'spare' floor pump at work is an Aldi one and it won't grab the valves very well so both tyres ended up going dead flat before I pumped them back up again. So i'll see how 100 goes and then try 95 perhaps next week.
