And it seems your brakes are the first thing to have broken/fallen off.

Hehehe, ride safe Carl

@ carl
It takes a little while to get used to the sense of humour 'round here, so it helps to have a thick skin ;)

And you don't have to believe everything you read

Hope to see you out on the road, on the polo court, or at the occasional trip to the 'drome sometime soon.

hahah, I rode one for about a month before, with a brake and i never used it so when I got this, I took the brakes off. it seems alright so far, just heard they break easy. so I'll keep a close eye on it.

@vikingfixed, what do yous all ride, il keep an eye out

See #203 in this thread for my latest toy

The flickr linky should show you some of my other stuff

Keep an eye open on here or any organized rides'n'shit

peace

Alright peeps, im Jonny from Sandyford, only been riding fixed this year but been lurking about the forums for a while, just built up a Vigorelli and thought I would chuck it up for a bit of feedback, its pretty much as i want it but on the wishlist is a set of drops and maybe some tape to match the seat, even managed to get a picture of me thumb in the photos, anyway enough of the essay...

EDIT - didnt realise bob jackson produced a frameset called the vigorelli, my bad.....

LOLOLOL

Nice Jonny.
2nd BJ Ive seen in town now, saw a guy in the summer riding up towards Gosforth with a lady friend.

You'll probably see me about with my Mrs i have just got her an old 70's Raleigh Merlin 5 speed picked up from Recyke, we are both trying to get fit for a months cycling trip to Holland and France this summer, starting in the dam ofc...

kinda want the frame for a pub bike for myself but my lass loves it to much

Whats the crack as far as polo goes by the way, Im fairly unhealthy after having a few years of partying with no exercise, but i was well up for building a beater and having a bash. How easy is it to get into ?
