Fair enough. How is it to ride? I wanted to test it at Evans but being a track bike, I was only allowed 10 meters of shop space...first 3 seconds of fixed gear in the log book for me :)

Well I treat it as my allowable for frivolous spending fund, obviously booze takes up a lot of that but £50 quid for a paint job is equally indulgent so I'll allow myself the pleasure ;)

The ride is really nice, the front is a lot lighter than the bikes I'm used to and makes for nippy as fuck handling, had to get used to the toe overlap for a while as I wasn't exactly tearing the road up! Also getting used to a steel frame as my old frame was a stiff as fuck alu frame, this is a lot smoother and more forgiving on the bumps.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
