I'm split on my next project. I'm probably going to sell my Cielo custom 29er and use the funds to build a bike I'm more comfortable with leaving around London. Something to commute on, and this would either be what I want or what I need.
What I want: An NJS fixed thing.
What I need: A beater tourer for commuting through the dark and wet winters, with racks and mudguards.
Need is probably going to win, currently thinking about audax bikes suitable for this.
I'm basically going to try and build the equivalent of my Robin Mather at a tenth of the cost. Not quite sure where to start on it, the entire cost must come in below whatever I can get for the Cielo 29er.
