Haha, thanks.
I have relatively long arms and torso which is pretty inefficient vis a vis power:weight ratio but it does mean I can ride rad looking bikes! Also, I grew up racing in the 90's when 130 mm stems, MTB seatposts & epic saddle/bar drops were de rigeur.
Now that I'm in my late 40's I have to do Pilates to retain the ability to keep the faith.... I'm not suggesting for a moment that it makes me faster, I'm just a 90's throwback/snob.In answer to your question on other fixed wheels, right now I have my summer fixed
and my late father's AS Gillott
and this rather more sensible fixed that I last used for a 600 km Audax but find a bit boring

Excellent achievement London - Wales on fixed! You do seem to have quite a steep drop from saddle to bars. You are not by any chance Steve Austen - the bionic man 'We have the power to rebuild him'. Love the Shorter build.
Do you have many fixed wheel builds?
