So, after a lot of looking at this bike sat in my garage/ gym and a couple of roller sessions I've decided I won't get to ride at the track much (career change, poorer than a hobo soon and no time) but I do want to keep training
To ride outside I need a brake, and I already have a 1inch ahead fork and headset which would do the job, so these are going to be fitted, along with a crosstop lever and brake to allow me to train on a couple of industrial estate roads nearby
In a couple of years I will stick the original fork back on and it's back to a track only bike
In the meantime when I do race it's just two bolts to undo and I'm off! Oh and change the front wheel back
Pics on Friday when it's fitted..hopefully
