Hi all, new to the forum and just getting into riding fixed. Most of my information searches on the web seemed to end up here so I thought it was time I joined even though I'm not in London.
I started riding fixed a few weeks ago after getting annoyed with a succession of component issues on my geared bike which I used for commuting. Currently riding a £100 "MTB" which I brought years ago to ride with my young son as he learned to ride instead of the road bike. I've now built myself a rear wear (wouldn't have even attempted that a year ago) and I'm loving it even though it weighs a tonne.
