A fixie frameset provides the essential basis for assembling a fixed gear bike according to your preferences. It generally includes the frame, the fork and sometimes additional elements such as the seat post or the headset. Each component of the frameset is designed to reflect the minimalist aesthetic and performance of a fixie bike.

1. Fixie frameset :

Materials:

Chromoly Steel:

Strong and durable, often chosen for its comfort and retro style.
More flexible than aluminum, better absorbing vibrations.
Slightly heavier weight, ideal for lovers of robustness.

Aluminum:

Light and rigid, suitable for urban or sports use.
Offers better acceleration, but less comfortable over long distances.

Carbon:

Extremely light and high performance, used for high-end fixies.
Built for speed and maximum responsiveness.

Geometry:

Aggressive geometry: Frames with a tighter angle for a more aerodynamic and sporty position.
Relaxed geometry: Ideal for urban or daily use, offering greater comfort.

Specific characteristics:

Rear spacing: Typically 120mm, standard for fixie wheels.
Cable routing: Limited, for a sleek design (sometimes only for a front brake).
Fixings: Minimalist, rarely intended for luggage racks or mudguards.

Materials:

Steel: For a retro style and better vibration absorption.
Carbon: Reduction in total weight, ideal for sports performance.

Curved: For a vintage style, often associated with steel frames.

Often standard diameter (27.2 mm for the majority of steel frames).

Headset:

Semi-integrated or integrated, depending on the framework.
Sealed bearings for increased durability.
