  • Fixed is definitely the best and most fun I find. So I'm onto my 3rd frame, all 2nd hand, having broken:

    1. my first love, a 2008 Genesis Flyer
    2. Aventon, it grew on me
      Now back on steel, a pake "Rumrunner" frame bought off matteroftaste, with Schwalbe durano pluses, Garmin edge 800, and 700mm wide bars. My favourite gear ratio is 48x17 for a good all-rounder of 74gi. This setup is pretty much perfect, wouldn't change anything.
  • Ah! What you riding? Easier to recognize bikes isn't it.
    Amazing how you bump into people in such a huge city. Had one of those crazy coincidences night before start of festive 500. So a guy I know through fixed beers, we rode to Paris and back one weekend a couple Decembers ago. I was doing an area round Norbiton, somewhere round there, went down a dead end and on way out saw a couple people on front lawn. Not many out as it was -2. Looked one in the face and it looked like him. But i just thought no ways it could've been and rode on a bit. But then I stopped, quickly checked his strava, stalker-like. And saw his rides ended in the very road I was in! So sent him a message saying I thought I just saw him and hi! Got a message back few minutes later saying to come back and say hi properly! The chances of him being outside at that moment.
