Hello

I've been pottering around the forum the last few days making sarcastic comments and sweeping generalisations, so thought i'd say a formal hello... Hello.

I rode a pals fix a few months ago, absolutely loved it and as i'm sure some of you can relate to, have since become rather obsessed with gleaning knowledge and picking components for a conversion... It's an 80's Peugeot road bike and i've got it up and running so i'll post pics/specs later if anyone cares.

Running a suicide hub until my wheelset arrives so am taking it easy but even after only a few fixed rides, i was surprised today at how shit it feels when back on my freewheel tourer! Is that usual?

welcome.

Freewheels have their benefits, as does relaxed touring geometry.

You could easily send a text message doing 35mph downhill for example.

However yes I agree, fixies (especially those with racey geometry) definetely feel a lot more fun and responsive.

Why is the graph in your avatar going up? Not very up-to-date, surely?

nice bike mate

do you use your teeth to steer though? the stems high.

^ True. I'm tall as fuck though... Larger frame etc

what size frame is it and what size are you?

lower the stem + get longer bullhorns- emabrace the aero position.

Nu round these parts too, howdee!
