Road fixed / fixed road

Here's the bike from above.

That's from the side🙂

Thanks. I'm going to experiment with what I have and see if I prefer TT levers over interrupters. The last time I rode fixed single-speed, I much preferred the position of the TT levers

Small changes - very nice tyres from @jono84 on this before I sort out my road bike and pedals that don't make a clicking noise. Fiddled gearing (now 50x16) to be nice for commuting but also not spinning like crazy at Regents Park. Feels pretty perfect and am managing ~250km a week which is pretty good for now ;)

Needs a new BB because sram is shit and going to fit an ugly little bottle cage adapter later because I don't want to pay for king cage quite yet

Good pedals for fixie straps?

That's a banger!

Restrap. Good quality and lifetime repairs.

superb and desirable number of miles !

10/10

Very nice!

Sorry I’ve got the straps, I meant the pedals to strap them to!

Whoops, totally misread! Sorry!

Thanks for the reply anyway!

I know flat/bmx pedals are the move, just a lot out there. Any one got a favourite? Or selling?

DMR V6 or V8. Nylon and Alu respectively.

An opp to stick a photo of mine in

Love the bi-laminate seat tube cluster

I’m blushing 🥰

Where is this Thames? 🤔

Windsor/Eton bridge

Lovely. Much nicer than my slightly younger Geoffrey Butler.

Full marks if you line up the TA crank with the chainring.

Needs a new BB

Ah you should of grabbed the jazzy red Hope i just sold. I still have the Hope GXP adapters somewhere if you end up needing them.

Bike looks great, could you carefully drill the frame for bottle cage bosses?

Thanks! Drilling is definitely the plan in the future - need to either get it to a frame builder or hold my breath and do it myself...

There's still this ffing clicking noise and I really can't tell if it's the BB or the pedals - It's got a Hope BB with adapters on at the moment which got the bike silent for a little while. Slightly maddening

Ah I see now what you meant, will do one day..

I’ve raided the parts bin and have gone with Cane Creek levers (I know I know) and Reynolds Pro Round drops.
The 21mm tubulars may be a bit off brief though, anyway I’m off for a little spin to see what it’s like.
Definitely needs HU, but that’ll have to wait until later.

I bet this make great whooshy noises with every standing pedal stroke.
