Forwards, backwards, or somewhere in between?

  • I built up a fixed gear from a Cannondale 1FG frame a little while ago, joined the forum and was happy to show my new creation off.

    I was extremely impressed that I did not then get a thermonuclear level of flaming due to my fixed gear having (in no particular order) a front (disc) brake, a mountain bike frame, front suspension, Continental Tyres (thank you Hippy...).

    Then it got nicked.

    Now I have been looking for some time at the usual sources, waiting for that perfect frame to come up for the HHSB build, and what do you know?

    Another 1FG frame in L has just come up.

    So- do I build Hippo II, "The Return", or do I go for brand spanking new?

    I'm thinking 1FG frame, Pace RC31 fork etc etc if anyone knows vintage (i.e. 10 years ago) mountain bikes.

  • Awesome forks. I miss my pace :[

  • Looking at Pace RC41's as they are on the bay at the moment.

    Always wanted a Pace- could never afford one back in the 90's!
