My First Fixed™
Just finished my first build:
1980's Shorter frame (north london builder who supplied alf engers) I took all the braze-ons off just cos i wanted it to look nice and clean, and it was kinda fun... (dont hate me for it, if it was a nicer frame i wouldn't have) all 531 tubing.
Formula hubs on open sport, 36 back, 32 front. gatorskins.
narrow bars, kalloy stem, tange allez headset, acor lever, dia compe single pivot brake, charge plunger grips.
Campagnolo strada cranks, 52-17 ratio, cheap pedals, christophe cages + straps.
freshly sprayed at armourtex, RAL 3003.
still to get reynolds decals and shorter decals.
dont be too harsh, this is my first build and i wanted to get it up and running with available bits..
thanks for looking!
