Yeah I dont think id buy a frame with the word fixie anywhere near it, not for me. Im sure it wouldn't cause me any trouble either as a few people ride unipack frames but someone gave me one last year, and its 3kg+ (56cm). It has only been used as a makeshift wheel truing station clamped in a vice. So thanks but no thanks.
I am training on the Fuji right now, if i can afford another frame , it will be an One-One or a Surly.
Howard if i had 400 id take that right now ! unfortunately i dont! Thanks though, thats a bargain!
I got 70 miles training in last night, Ill be doing as much as i can before i do anything big. Of course this was unloaded . I fully intend to run Front and rear brakes, no worries there, as for luggage, ill have to experiment i think. The sherpa does fit the bill, but i guess ill have to see what feels right.
The reason I'm doing it fixed is the challenge, and it should yield more charity money.
I have always seen challenges that way, kind like playing a video game on hard first time, otherwise you complete it on easy and don't really feel you've done it.
By the way, I think ill be doing it for the local cat shelters.
