random... but i am doing lejog fixed this summer

yipes.

this is the bike so far.... just plonked on spare bits from other bikes but it will be all black parts, colour coded mudguards fitted... randonneur bars i think and a suitable box for the front rack
got big tyres on there way (38 rear 42 front) and going to build some all black wheels, 32h i think... and going to double up the brake cabling for the front so i can run both left and right lever for the front disc.

need to figure out the ideal gearing for 120 fixed miles a day, think i will run a 2 singlespeed gears on a singlespeed cassette hub and a cog fixed 16t, but two rings up front in case i get injured, maybe a 40 and a 44

:)

wow. Thats awesome.
