Long time lurker, very infrequent poster - hello all from deepest, darkest Hull... (yes, yes, I'm aware that I'm somewhat outside the forum's catchment area)
Yes, non-driveside pic fail of a completely standard* OTP Giant Bowery 72.
Still trying to get used to this whole fixed-malarkey - determinedly spinning round Hull using only 1/18 of the other bike's available gears wasn't quite as much preparation as I'd anticipated... ;-P
Still, it hasn't thrown me off yet, and, more to the point, since getting this, I haven't touched the geared steed (and have, instead, been wondering how practical it'd be to fixify it, too).
Mainly use the bike for commuting to/from work twice a day (I go home at lunch to check on the hound), but am hoping to venture a bit further afield as and when. And, seriously, I'm hoping to flit down to London some time for one of the forum rides (Bridges, or one of the Brighton ones, mebbe).
