So i'm in the process of building my fixed gear...
It started out as a junker...and has since evolved into a money pit of a bike, that I 'm putting a lot of hard work and effort into...
stripping the paint from the frame, getting it resprayed, getting wheels built, buying new components, buying certiain tools... etc etc...
So when the time comes to take this bad boy out on the road I honestly think i'm going to have real fear of leaving it anywhere. I mean it's one thing to buy an expensive bike and have it nicked... but it's another thing to build a bike from scratch and have some tyke ride away on it...especially in London..
I was just wondering what do you guys do to protect your good bikes, and it's components.. I'm going to buy an expensive lock, but I fear my bike being stripped while i'm in tescos getting milk.
