Hi guys
I'm just thinking about starting to get back into some serious riding again after the last few years spent running anything from 10k to marathons. Still doing 30k per week, but thinking at some time in the future the old body might not be able to deal with all the impact as well.
Last year I rebuilt and updated my '92 Lavadome and this year I would like to have a go at a fixie. Being a big fan of Konas, I'd like to base it on one but not sure which frame would be best. I am looking for a balance of light weight and strength as I'm used to abusing the Lavadome quite a bit getting around town. Not sure whether I should stick with P2 forks or go carbon. I think I'm down to 2 possible frame/fork combos, Band Wagon or Dr Fine, but maybe I've missed one or even another brand. Would definitely be interested in thoughts or comments on what would make a great all round fixie with flat bars and brakes preferably.
Thanks guys, looking forward to reading your replies.
Cheers, Mark
