Close the Cov forum?

sorry :( only been singlespeeding a year and fixed for 4 weeks...

What fixed are you ridin'?

1950 Claud Butler frame / forks with modern stuff added.

Have a look here - http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=142580

Dryish weather only though which means im going to have to convert my daily ride as well :)) as fixed has proved to be highly addictive!

Always happy to stop and talk bikes...im based just outside Nuneaton so tend to head northish into leicestershire..market bosworth etc. Ill let you know about Burton trip.

I live between Nuneaton & Cov.
Been to Hinckley no end of times on fixed.
Have done Leicester fixed, would Burton be doable fixed?

If youve done Leicester then Burton would be quite easy distance wise..one down side... any way into Burton from this side is a biggish downhill. I'll go in on the A50 across the old bridge. Its a big down hill with lights at the bottom. Not done it fixed. If youre brakeless have your soles lined with grey compound Kool stop :) but im only a newbie!!!

Burton (and Derby) very doable fixed. #homesick

where are you now?

Manchester, Derby still doable, but not fixed. BoT and Cov a bit too far really.

Why did you relocate, work related?

Pretty confident skidding and stopping was think more 'bout distance and terrain.

work & romance, slushy innit.

Once you get over the A5 its pretty fantastic cycling country...lots of green and rolling hills
