Just joined LFGSS and thought I should say hello and introduce myself. I'm not strictly from London but worked on Baker Street for 8 years as a designer. Commuted everyday on my Cannondale Badboy (sorry it's wasn't a SS or a fixie) from West Hampstead - best view of London is from a bike seat :)
I've just bought a 2012 Specialized Langster off a friend. It's practically brand-new! He covered less that 10 miles on it. It's pretty standard spec apart from the addition of some Bullhorn bars, white handlebar wrap, Cane Creek Crosstop front brake and a 45 tooth BIG ring. I'll post piccies of it as soon as I have my mitts on it.
I'm thinking about flipping the rear wheel and fitting a freewheel. My question is what tooth freewheel should I be looking at fitting to match the 45 ring? I'm hoping to use the Langster to get my fitness back and lose some weight (I know it's in there somewhere!)
