  • wow, you must really have wanted this bike, lots of time and effort gone into getting it across here
    congrats
    now the fun bit, time in the saddle, whats orkney like for riding brklss fixies, can you do laps of the island or something ? and how's the fixed gear scene up there, you got a posse to roll deep with ?!

  • Yeah uh huh, soon as I saw it I was a little in love with it. Think it was that pointy rear bridge and I’m a sucker for a pink bike too..
    It’s actually not bad here! I’m on one of the smaller islands and there are some hills and things but they’re manageable and then most of the rest is relatively flat going past fields of sheep and cattle with the sea behind them. Doing right to the north of my island and back with a couple wee detours and side roads is only an hour or a bit more. Met a few fixed riders up here through the lbs (cycle Orkney if you’re ever up this way) but there’s no scene or anything to speak of. Have always ridden mainly on my own though so not missing group rides or anything.
