Due to having to part with my Scott Foil because of skint student syndrome (Scott will be up for sale asap) I have need to fill my road cycling desires with another bike.
Step up my humble commuter come fixie skidder pre cursa! At the moment it's only used for bits and bobs around town and cycling into uni everyday.
This is how it looks at the moment but it's going to need a few chops and changes to make it fit for road cycling duties!
Main things I plan on changing are:
Front Brakes
Space for liquid storage
I have an older sora caliper and a set of condor drop brake levers to use as well as a jubilee clip set up for a single bottle cage.
Other bits and bobs:
-Machined rim front wheel
-Upgrade brake to something with brake pad shoes
-China carbon seat post
-Longer stem
-New tyres, I fancy trying some of the cheap lifeline ones for science!
I have some spd-sl pedals to install but I'd ideally like some mountain bike clipless pedals further down the line!
The alloy crown on those Alpina forks are really hench. Mine drilled really nicely and there was plenty of meat on the back for a recessed fitting.
Edit: just noticed 3 months old

Formatting Help
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >
Mention another user by @username
For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
