But that magical moment when it all clicks…

Sure I have seen this irl on tnrc, but don't remember it being so good!

Brilliant altogether. The smell of mothballs in the morning.

+1 for drops

Always pedalling, usually in the wrong gear

Give me a shout when you’re doing it in Cornwall!

I miss riding with you

I think I’m gonna just do fixed everything, the Peak was quite fun even on fixed

It’s what I do, I occasionally try gears but it’s stupid.

Edit: Just realised this will be re-posted on shit fixe skidders say.

I didn't know people too uncool to ride fixies made memes.

Brilliant altogether. The smell of mothballs in the morning.

Thanks Ludwig. I aim to please (unless you're a clothes moth).

@revenant. thanks! Yes, perhaps on a Roydon or Welwyn one, those were my faves.

What is the chainring on this? Works nicely with the cracks.

I hope they're not cracked ;)
Campagnolo chainring. That's why they look right! I seem to recall the interface with Sugino 75 was close enough but the line didn't follow nicely, if you know what I mean.

cracked

ha!

Ok Campagnolo makes sense! I assume 3/32"? Where'd you get it from?

I'm currently using a Gerbhardt 1/8" ring on my Centaur cranks (near identical to yours) but I think the Campagnolo ring would look much better.

No, 1/8”. Campagnolo make track parts … like the crank.

Where'd you get it from?

2009 I think, iirc a gift from a kind, age-ravaged hipster on here who was famous for five minutes after bikesnob described him thusly.

Record Pista is 144 mm BCD your Centaur are most likely 135mm so Gebhardt seems a wise choice but if you're seeking something more trad, the old Primato are the other 135mm BCD x 1/8" option

Very useful, thanks.

Brutal. But he is a lovely guy.

Campag road 144 3/32”, can find them cheap on the bay, think I paid £9 for mine

I think I have one actually

I've been lurking on this topic for a long time, I finally built my Kona Paddywagon as a fixed road bike.
