Once when I still hadn't finished building but had been shopping around and obsessing for a good few months I took a break from ebay and watched "An Audience With Kenneth Williams". That night I dreamed I bought Kenneth Williams' fixed bike off him. i went to his house to collect it ("postage free - collection only") and he was relaxing in his yard. We shot the breeze and talked loads about components and stuff - really geeking out. I think the bike was something really classy like a Hetchins - an old track/path frame that looked used but still in good enough nick. He was a Kenneth Williams rarely seen - calm, chatty, pleasant without being a caricature - and very much happy to natter about the whole fixed gear thing.
It was a most satisfying dream.
