Yeah its a nice solid frame, and i am using it every day, but i haven't ridden my Vivalo in over a week now.
making the Brother a single speed is an idea and easily done, but i don't really need one
It's at like the top of current projects.
So don't and keep it as a fixed commuter? Seems like you're trying to create problems here

Wrap the Vivalo in helicopter tape and commute on it.

^ do not do this.

The logic is one less bike and less hassle, in a way, i don't like owning 2 similar bikes, 3 with the orbit.
Think it over/over think.

Why are you keeping the orbit?
-
• #80457
I didn't realize you owned that frame, i seen the pics though.
i could commute to work on my Vivalo no problem, i have done many times, its only 3 miles mostly on a cycle path and i can leave it in side so its plenty safe
Why are you keeping the orbit?
Long story, but i'll never sell it

Stop moaning :)
From the site:
Wheels that are always incompatible with covers:
Track or Fixie wheels

double corima, no yellow restrap decal and it's fucking great
-
• #80460
If anyone want to donate (or even locate) a legit, rear, track, clincher, corima 4 spoke... Pls speak up.
Aerospoke is a bit of a compromise I know, at least the hub seems solid.

Rear wheel dilemma?
Why not disc?
-
• #80462
Disc will happen eventually, I reckon the best option is making one out of my halo rear wheel. Should be a lot tougher than a proper disc innit.
-
• #80463
Turn the aeropsoke into a disc.

Just cut foam sheets to fit the bits between the spokes, stick it in and sand it down.
A layer or two
of carbon fibre/fibreglass/kevlar and you're done. -

I wouldn't even bother with the foam, just glue flat sheets of crabon fribé to the rim.

Got a bit excited and skidded the Peugeot, doing this to the Continental Grand Prix 4000S rear tyre:
Sorry for the silly question, but is that ok, or do I need a new one to be safe? Not used proper road tyres before so not sure, only Vittoria Randonneurs etc. Don't want it to explode on me.

I wouldn't worry much until you start seeing some canvas

I will be in the minority but personally i recon that bike would look best with twin old school corima aero's and compacts on the ergo stem
-

It needs a really chunky fork to interface nicely with the frame at the bottom of the headtube. just looks odd atm

Needs aerospokz on the front! haterzgonnahate ;)

If it looked like the fork was designed to go with the frame, it wouldn't look like a Corima

This, or the holy grail of twin clincher track four spokes (if such a thing even exists?)
Alpina Wing TT might suit the frame a bit better?
