Track and Fixie For Sale

Howdy!

I have two bikes for sale currently. They may be purchased as Frame/fork or complete bikes with all parts that are hanging on them.

Bike #1 is a Fillet brazed Track "mass start" type bike. 55CM x 2, custom blend of Reynolds and Columbus tubes with a Reynolds Carbon track fork included. Bike has 2 small scratches/chips in the right seatstay. My loss is your gain. This bike is lightly used, but in absolutely great racing shape.

Frame/Fork for $1200 USD (with King HS)

Complete bike with Stella Azzurra Carbon bars and alloy stem, Truvativ Track crank, Bontrager post, FSA carbon saddle, 32h Velocity Escape rims laced 3x to Paul Comp Track hubs with Challenge tubular tires, low miles. $1900

Bike #2 is the Fixedgeargallery.com test bike. (read about it here http://www.fixedgeargallery.com/framebuilders/donwalker/blue/ ) While I wasnt thrilled with the review, that is not the reason I am selling this bike. Its a great sample of what I can do and its just hangin around the shop. Its too small for me, or I would ride it. It has some chips on various areas of the bike, but that doesnt stop it from being a great riding bike. The top tube is 56cm, and the bike was designed with "Fixie" geometry . Cane Creek HS, Reynolds Alloy Bar/Stem, Cane Creek front brake and lever. The cockpit is complete with a Thomson post and Gorgeous Brooks "virgin" saddle. Truvativ track cranks and Cane Creek wheels round out this beauty. Tig Welded Columbus Zona tubing with a Reynolds Criterium fork. Frame and fork only $975 Complete bike $1500

For any further information, please contact me at 317-731-4040 between 10-6 Eastern time or email at donwalkercycles at aol dot com. Thanks for looking. DW

Setting it all up...

Yeah, I have the tools to make great bikes, but if they aren't set up properly, it makes the whole process more difficult and lets face the facts, you pay for precision, you deserve precision.
I was referred by a friend of a friend to Frank. Frank is the same age as my father, 86. Frank is a retired tool and die maker for Allison, one of the most respected names in the auto industry.
Frank is still sharp and has forgotten more about being a machinist than I shall ever know.
He has been helping set up the DWC machine shop in a "proper" and precision manner.
Its kind of fun hangin out with Frank, as he knows everyone in Indy thats ever worked on a car here. Well, maybe everyone thats ever ridden in a car here... No matter where we go, folks always yell out a hello for Frank. One of the neatest guys I have met here... He has taken apart my Bridgeport and made is look better than it had for probably 20 years. He is currently working on my Sheldon lathe. I will post some "after" pics next week when we are done.

Thanks Frank!!!!

At Bike Film Fest In Chicago!

Howdy! I am in Chicago at Bicycle Film Fest. Its Saturday night and I have seen some amazing movies the past 2 days. I have met many great people who come from all walks of life and share their passion for cycling with much enthusiasm. I met up with Jonny Kendzeira and Dave Wages (Jonny cycles and Ellis cycles) and Richard Schwinn of Waterford. The festival has been fun and I would like to thank Tristan for the sofa that I am surfing on.
See you all next time!

Don Walker Cycles at Chicago's Bike Film Festival!

Yes, its true! I will be in Chicago Friday August 8th and Saturday the 9th at the Bicycle Film Festival ( http://www.bicyclefilmfestival.com/ ) I am debating if I will stay for Sunday or not. Maybe you all could talk me into it?

I will have some examples of my fillet-y brazed goodness with me and maybe even a lugged bike, but you never know. I will also have NAHBS schwag, too, including posters and shirts.

Stop on by and say "Hola! Que Paso, Ese`" and I'll give you a surprise!
