Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

I doubt if the wheels would have drawn comment if they had been Rigida DP18 on generic hubs, which is about what the Navigators amount to, aside from the cheap vinyl graphics.

exactly, but not everybody knows that.

dp18s on on-one hubs cost me about £84 to build a set of for training on, they seem fine with standing starts on 90+ gearing and stable at speeds over 35mph, but they wouldn't pass muster to go on a bike pushed among kingsland road by a 20-something with his first attempt at facial hair and an ego bigger than westminster abbey.
