what tends to happen with OTP fixed wheel is it's a great way of getting started, then slowly, inexorably, you find yourself gazing full of lust at the bespoke creation next to you at the lights, and then looking back in disgust at your lesser, uglier machine. this lasts until you purchase a new frame or order a new build of sufficient provenance and beauty to negate the perils of bike envy.
