After months of forum-stalking and sitting on the sidelines, wistfully reading about everybody else's bikes... at long last, I finally have an HHSB of my very own.
It was built by Paul at Kiwi Cycles. Don't ask me what the components are, I have no idea. The frame is brand-new, I don't think it's particularly well-known, I'm not sure who it's made by. But Paul trusts it, and he seems to know what he's talking about, so I'll take his word for it. I do know that it's "tange steel double butted tubing - TIG welded" (that probably makes more sense to you than me). It's commuter-friendly (double bottle bosses, can accommodate mud guards and a rack).
The saddle is butt-ugly (har har har) but very comfy, and this is one of those rare situations where I will pick function over form.
Am using the single-speed hub for now, will give the fixed side a try after I get more familiar with my new baby.
Look for me on the way between Whitechapel and Victoria!
[Edit] P.S. Just realized that I made a schoolboy error... should've taken the pics of the bike from its right side.
