Track Ends
In Steel Frames
at Yellow Jersey
With the currently renewed interest in fixed gear and single speed, some riders find themselves locked out from all the fun as their frames have skimpy little vertical ends. Sure you can switch between the 42-17 and the 43-17, scrounge up a half-link after the chain wears in a bit and even risk a dorky chain tensioner (a $40 lump of ugly!) but face it - - nothing beats a normal fixed wheel with a peanut butter wrench! We use top quality ends and we are fast. No, you do not have to use real track ends, either. we can braze in classic road ends so you can still have the option of a derailleur. We get rid of those pesky little ends:
Then you get an email like this: You may have mudguard/rack eyelets if you wish - just ask! We're good either way - or you may ask us to cut them off. Same story with a derailleur mount. Want one? Just ask! As long as we're there it's no trouble to add or remove as you wish. So, what does this all cost? Not much! For most normal road bikes, $120 for the whole job, $160 and up for 26-inch wheel format.

A few months ago I brought in a frame that had been run over by a car. You replaced the chainstays and installed track ends. I never got a chance to get back to you after I received the frame in the mail. The frame looks excellent. I had the frame refinished and just, in the past couple of weeks, re-assembled everything and took it for a few rides. Everything is perfect. Thank you very much for your work on this. I've been telling everyone great things about this frame repair.
Anyhow, that's all. I just wanted to say thanks!
