After building the Roberts up, I actually never rode it. Mainly due to the weird chainline of the Sugino RD2's, but recently I've been really craving riding fixed - probably due to the sunny weather.
So got myself some 75s with a slightly nicer stem and uno seatpost on the way. Thinking of potentially getting some drops and pink bar tape on there aswell...
Getting some creaking when putting power through the pedals, so regreased and tightened EVERYTHING to no success. Having played around with the drivetrain, I'm pretty sure my rear cog is just a little worn down and needs replacing. I've got little faith removing that lockring though, its been on there for YEARS. Could be an excuse for a new wheelset though...
Going to ride it as is and see if I can ignore the creaking.
