Haha, I've just had a look at the article in question (work has all the Sunday papers delivered)
I'll try and scan it in at some point but highlights include -
Condor Classico Pista (nice gold frame someone posted in the Bike Porn thread) : set up includes Dura-Ace hubs, black Sugino 75s & black Rolls
£1000
"The perfect fixie for cruising down to Starbucks on a lazy Sunday" << !!!!!
Bianchi Pista
£425
"Aimed at purists who appreciate the harsh geometry of the frame… we can still recommend it as a commuter bike… you'll get maximum respect from your fellow fixie-lovers"
Swobo Sanchez
£400
"best described as 'suicidal', with no brakes and a stark galvanised frame… attach a brake to the pre-drilled forks, thus making it road legal - but at the same time destroying a fair amount of its street cred."
very funny with the models lying on the floor, all wearing spd style shoes but mostly 'riding' clips and straps with the female model on the Classico pulling a one-handed wheelie off a plank of wood raised on bricks! :-D
Best bit has to be the Starbuck's line though rolls eyes
