Hi guys,
I'm living in the lovely land of fondue here in Switzerland and rather than bring my lovely Geoff Roberts SP from London to here in Zurich I have found myself a little bikeshop who specialise in single/fixes (http://www.zweiradgeber.ch) to build me something fixed special.
I'm 6'5" so framewise they are recommending a larger Soma Delancey (http://somafab.com/delancey.html) or Track Rush (http://somafab.com/rush.html). I am thinking of going for a chromed out retro look on dark green frame with deep vs a bit like this French baby http://www.fixedgeargallery.com/2008/july/1/AlexKezha.htm. Still thinking about bars, brakes etc but suggestions welcome.
I was wondering if anyone had any opinion or experience of either of these frames or Soma frames. It's my first new build having riden the Roberts on London streets for many years. However it will be very much a social riding (great cycle routes round the Lake and city) for evenings and weekends rather than a commute so I want it to have comfort and classy swagger. Yeah I said it!
