I got knocked off my bike about a month ago, and as a result both the bike and my teeth are a bit wonky. Needed a replacement asap so went to my bike shop of choice and ordered an Edwardes Special, effectively a rebadged Dolan track champ. I'm a one of those weird lycra roadie types most of the time and the thought of going fixed proper is still a bit daunting to me, especially because my commute is a bit sketchy in places, so I committed sacrilege and got it drilled for a rear brake. Sorry about that, Clark at Edwardes wasn't too happy either.
I chucked on a few bits I had lying around, but everything else is the cheapest possible to get me on the road quick.
Anyway, a month later, here it is. It's a bit of a mess, component wise, and as it's my first non-OTP I have no clue what to stick on the sodding thing. Wheels need some love, I like the look of H+Son SL42 rims in black, but have no idea what's a good hub to lace them to. And a black crank set would be nice too. What would you do if it was yours?
