So, my first 'real' but not real fixed gear after owning countless shitty old carltons and raleighs and what have you. this is over the period of a year and a half.. enjoy
i bought this gem off of ebay for £160 off a polish man from leicester who drove it all the way down to london for me for 15 bar after collecting his child from school one day
the pictures on the ebay that were uploaded were awful and didnt show any of the parts on it but i was nicely suprised when it came with a full rx100 groupset, mavic pursuit bars and cxp 30s.
as it was delivered
way too small, but none the less i left it like this for about a week then took off the tt bars
stayed like that for a few months being hardly being used until i moved house and needed a reliable commuter. I went to blb and bought some stuff (i had to get rid of that awful tk maxx special seat) and thought I would give my first wheel build a go aswell
^ at this point i was shitting one
woohoo
it was still way too small so bought a layback
went brakeless
^ rode like this for a while.. also got an slr and a campy front wheel off a mate for a couple beers and a massage aswell
copped a spinergy in a spare of the moment buy
used it like that only until about a month ago when i bought a archetype to match the grey front.. relaced the front after a buckle, radially this time
i will be posting any changes and let me know what you think!
