Hi everyone,
I've been on a few bike forums, but don't post too much. I ride mountain bikes mostly, doing enduro's and long distance stuff. I bit the bullet and got a fixed bike before christmas to work on my cadence. I started off just not getting it, now it's the preferred bike out the door for a 20-30min ride anywhere. The feeling of gliding along with the bike is just magic!!
I ride a 2009 (ish) Langster in the poo brown colour, just built my own set of wheels for it to make it a bit lighter (had V sprint 30/40 wheels on looked so cool, but no what I was needing anymore)
Now I've got one can't see me ever not having one really
