Current Projects chat and miscellany

you dont need a bike stand. Either prop it against a chair or something (installing stem etc) or lie it on the floor (installing bottom bracket/cranks etc). Bike stands are for people with too much space/money.

top, i'm glad you say that, i've always found guitar stands pretty lame and this seemed to be along the same lines...

the more minimal, simple and cheap i can keep this the better, especially as it means spending more money on the bits that matter.

i'm really really excited about this, reading sheldon's website has been an absolute inspiration, i've never even ridden a fixed gear before but i just have to give this a go, dead up for it.
