now you're not the only one with white 75s in town

Yes he is, because you're in brighton!

Seb geography fail. ;)

Here is my '89 Peugeot Premiere which I've just finnished converting to SS. I am riding 52x20 but hoping to change to 52x18 soon...

you really should ride it fixed or put another brake on, just my opinion mind.

The reason why I only have one brake at the moment is because I was going to go fixed but decided to try SS for a bit first.

Nice Peugeot but running s/s with no rear brake is just asking for trouble, to put it politely!

Cheers - I will switch over to fixed when I have the money to buy a new hub but until then will just take things easy.

QR too...

Until you get a new hub stick a back brake on there or you'll be chewing tarmac in no time.

haha saw a 1brake ss rider sack themselves on the stem yesterday slamming on the brake when they utterly failed to notice the people on the zebra crossing. comedy gold.
get rear brake. rear brake cheaper than rear hub/new teeth/balls/nose.
cool looking bike mind you!

Project update, my new wheels, first set to be rolling in the UK apparently: http://14bikeco.wordpress.com/

they look very nice

nice pug mate! putting a rear break on is a point, pushing the cable through the frame is always a pain mind you.

I better get my Bob up before you steal the show Ed. I fear I'm going to regret not requesting a flat fork crown and fluted seat tube.

nah mate, don't be silly, your going to look stunning once you get it done (italian style bob jackson going to look stunning either way!).

polish with natural bee wax [that is my old man's advice].. it protects from uneven oxidation

interesting. I'll give it a go.

that is lovely, please tell me you are gonna keep it simple, black and chrome

and i put new bars and a new saddle on the colnago

+1 front brake only and singlespeed make no sense...

See I don't get this, how on Earth would the addition of a rear brake have helped?

using both brakes instead of one? you can stop pretty quickly with rear brakes alone.
