Road fixed / fixed road

Was gonna say that, helps keep the knees from crumbling later on in life too.

Upgraded the brakes on the dear old Tom Board — those originally fitted were Shimano 600 with a hellishly strong spring (like the Campag Record of which they were a copy). The BR-7800 has a much lighter touch.

I like th...OMG WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO YOUR REAR WHEEL.

Lovely. Drinks in bag? Or pocket?

Flared drops? 🤔

Classic Dartmoor bike

Looks great

The levers are so high

I’m bringing the spokey dokey back, Nike’s way too quiet!

You need Kelloggs reflectors too then.

How did they manage to build that frame up and make it look shit?

Kelloggs reflectors.

They’re surprisingly expensive.

Overwhelming urge to own them all

Wheels likely to be Spa own as they build a lots of them.

likely to be Spa own

Obvs., but they sell many different rims. I imagine they'd be up for supplying XR31s in place of whatever cheap rim they've bunged on that build, but it won't be £550 any more 🙂
