Road fixed / fixed road

Rid the rear brakes...and it’ll be lighter

By about half a pound. And also much less nice to ride.

Such a good build!*
Is that matching Simworks stem and seatpost?
Been thinking about doing that myself.

*other than the INEOS bottle!

Yes matching Simworks post and stem, also bar ends.

I don't like the bottle either, it's a last minute buy after breaking my previous bottle, the color scheme made me chose this

Gorgeous bike. I love the straight-bladed Max forks.

Fair enough : )
They really need to sort out a less offensive sponsor.... first Murdoch and now fracking.
Groan.

Thank you! It's made like a segmented fork, pretty original(like the whole bike)

This looks dope. Good choice going black/black in the end I reckon.

Nice one, cheers. Shame it’s too grotty to take it out. Pondering a respray now in the same colour to match the fork in and update the graphics.

That’s so hot!

100% agree with this. Always two brakes, if you can. Lovely bike, gorgeous colour!

Slippery roads fallen trees and pissing rain. Great conditions for fixedroad riding hills in the Cotswolds

Colour is much more subtle than I expected which is nice.

What parts are you going to run?

You’re brave, it was bloody horrible wasn’t it yesterday, even on my winter bike.

Stuff from Dolan, but with mudguard, mini v, either saddle bag with bagman or small front rack to hold saddlebag.

Good thing there’s a silver Salsa Cowbell.

Which mini Vs?

Cheap Tektro RX6 paired with compressionless housing, should be solid!

y not canti

Bon bon

I enjoy stopping.

I wasnt trolling; i hated every min of mini v; the mechanical advantage of cable pull just wasnt there; its the worst of both worlds. Cantis were far better and more powerful.

Maybe you're just crap at setting up brakes?

Maybe he's very good at setting up cantilevers. There's no magic, just physics, cantilevers can be as good as V-brakes when first installed, it just takes hours to dial them in and then they go out of adjustment the first time you use them because the pad wear has a much more dramatic effect on lever ratios than it does with other brakes.
A 7 year old child can set up mini-Vs - that's no hyperbole, I literally got my 7 year old nephew to fit mini-Vs to my brother's bike.

Yeah, I know, I just fancied a pop at @amey.

I wouldnt have taken the bait tbh
I have done extensive research as a buyer
