Who wouldn't want the practicalities of a fixed/SS frame that can hold two bottles, easily take a set of mudguards and give you a back brake for descents when you're tired after riding all day, right? Unfortunately mostly bike manufacturers seem to feel otherwise.
I'm getting a bit bored of strap on bottle cage mounts and mudguard bodges on my Orrell track frame and I'm thinking about alternatives. I've been wanting to build a fixed bike which is fit for (my) purpose for a while. I don't think I can afford to do anything about this right now but I want to decide on my preferred alternative, which could take a while to figure out...
The Condor Tempo was pretty high on the list as a default choice, until I found out the 2013 model only has one set of bottle cage mounts, so that's now out. The Steamroller is out for the same reason.
So, some I've found/others have suggested so far:
I'm sure there are more - any ideas?
