Quick, Smooth and Easy. Just look what you can do with your old frame for few bucks, before you run and buy a new Chinese crap. This is what I call one day turn around. It took me few hours to disassemble it, clean it and get ready. Then few hour to build the wheels. And three hours, with help of Eitan and Ilya, to create a new runner. Take a look on the colors and how clean the frame is. Eitan decided to leave the colors as are and I cannot blame him. Actually it’s my second MBK, the first one got stolen, very sad story. Hopefully this one will have a better future.
Before:
And the final touch, this dude (Eitan) did his first fixie skid, right in the garage after 10 minutes of his first ride! Total cool and way to go.
However he had the best masters around)))

Hi Garazhik,
first off all: nice bikes! Love your work!
I´m a design student from Italy and next summer semester, so from february to july, I`ll stay in Jerusalem on the Bezalel Academy.
Here in Italy I already ride a fixed gear, and I would like to do it in Israel too. So I would like to ask you kindly if you may have a frame for me in your repertory? Or if you´ll get one in the next month.
best reguards,
Matthias

Hi,
Nice to meet you)
I always have 2-4 frames in stock. However in order to feet you well please share your measurements with me. You can use this tool:
http://www.ebicycles.com/bicycle-tools/frame-sizer/road-bike
to tell me the what's you frame size.
BTW, if you already have a bike why don't you bring it here? Fixed gear might be a bit challenging in Jerusalem hills but we can always set you a single speed)
Hope you will have a great time here in Betzalel.
Hi again!
Im quite tall... 75" high and 36" leg length, so I would probably need the tallest frame you can get...your link says 24,5" is the frame measurement.
I thought more to fix there a bike and bring it back to italy.
Whatever its gonna be, fixed or single speed (flip flop could be nice) ...we´ll see =)
Thank you really much!
Looking forward to meet you in tel aviv.
Can get you a tall frame, cause here there are many tall frames more then usual)
61-63cm will fit you right.
See ya
Sorry, i have accidentally deleted your last comment. Never mind, feel free to call me 054-3042360, and we will discuss it.
BTW I do have very cool frame for tall person. Bertin french, handmade.
Just did my first facial skid this morning.
You felt off?
HI Garazhik!
I was thinking about turning one old bike I have around into a fixie. Looking around on the internet I found your blog, and I couldn't be happier when I saw the pictures of the MBK. It's just exactly the same bike I have at home!
How much could it be the spare parts to convert it? I think I might need the wheels, chain, singlespeed mainwheel...Anything else?
I have mine with the pedal axle broken, so I have to add a new one to the budget.
My second question is about the difficulty of the conversion. Is it hard to do? at least I think I might need special tools to mount the single speed mainwheel and the pedal axle. But, is it difficult to perform?
Regards,
David
Hi David,
Let me know if you in Israel and give me a call it will b easier for both of us. 054-3o4236o (Vadim) or via FB.
Hi Garazhnik,
Nice blog post!
Do you have an idea where I could get a replacement fork, just like the one you have here?
(Changed the exact same bike to fixed, it was used for almost a year, but the fork got bent in an accident :()
Thanks!
