Nursery for New Members

I am building up an old raleigh steel frame as a fixie...modern dual pivot brakes seem to foul the mudguards (it's a long winter commute!)...don't need long reach brakeset particularly..and i'm too impatient to wait for vintage stuff on ebay. Any ideads? Tektro 538's?

You need to know how much drop you'll be needing, but only you with a tape measure can determine that. Once you've determined the model you want, hit eBay.

I can do Capitals of South American countries. C for Chile, P for Peru... stuff like that.

Can you do this for bolivia?

I ain't stoopid, it's a trick question. There are no capitals.

Thought I would say hello as I was spotted today.

Found the forum because someone from Los Coños used to have a few polo bikes locked up at my block of flats and I found a link here while looking for stuff about polo out of interest. Even lurking I've found it to be an invaluable resource, particularly the lists.

I bought a Pompino last year as I wanted to move to a road bike following a few months commuting on my old mountain bike. I had the idea that single speed was the thing for simplicity and low maintenance but wanted to try "Fixed for fitness and form" (Sheldon Brown, RIP) first and haven't looked back.

At least 10% of my posts are perfectly valid.

Or any other of the 90%
