Feet on pedals. Tires on road. Think i get this now..

In all seriousness, you can't properly slow your rear wheel fixed without some form of foot retention. Having just a front brake leaves you liable to go over the bars in an emergency. It's not safe and is something you'll regret if you fuck up your face. Especially if you don't have dental insurance.
A second brake on the rear would be equally good.

I was going to suggest Gulf colours but then I saw the new Dogma in 'Sky Orange' and have probably changed my mind.

Yeah i thought about orange and blue, brittish racing green with a gb symbol, blue with white stripes, brushed gun metal grey with us flag. Matte olive green with a south africa symbol.
Im feeling chrome front forks and headpost. Chrome rear triangle and a deep purple Deceptacon purple faded into a shock lime or a Rivera blue.

Haters gonna hate. Effort has its own reward etc.
Purple fade with that retro mesh/gauze effect or linear? I always wanted to try that style myself..

Too true. You get what you can afford. Then take pride in it. Sounds interesting with the mesh fade, hmmm, tricky to do though i reckon.

By the mesh fade, are you talking of something like this.

Yep.. seen all over late 80s/90s.
Just need some net curtains/ expanded metal or could even get genuine stencils I think someone on here has some stashed away in SE London....

Yeah I've got it on my conc. I do like the effect alot. Think the stencilled ones (I assume*) look a bit wired though. Much prefer the wire mesh ones. Surley its only putting wire mesh around tube and spraying a fade on top.
*I assume this is a stencilled one - the blue one on the right:
^ha!
