Looks like i created an interesting conversation back there, and one i wanted to "round off"

I initially posted a comment in jest, after a shit day out on the road bike. Turns out, that the route i took on saturday took me longer on the gears in comparison to the same route fixed. I was a little vexed, and put it down to being lazy on that particular ride. If the gearing on my fixed is correct, I will hurt myself happily for an hour or so. And i like it. Time trial style.
I reckon i need to move up from a 50/34 to a 52/38 and vary it between hilly routes and non-hilly routes. You guys gave me a good read though.

no new bike then?

Nah.
Gonna play about with the gearing first on the road bike.

Want a new frame for fixed though. Hannah's keen to get her Day One back. :(

Splitting up my winter beater to fund my summer project: Can meet in town with any of the items below:

*Falcon 'Shane Sutton Special' Road Frame** £20*** GONE

*Shimano RSX Cranks with 42t Stronglight Ring £20* GONE

*Complete SS Wheelset £30*
Or*** £15 *each
Or* £10 each without tyres/tubes*
Or *just tyres/tubes £15*

Mismatched front and rear 700c Hybrid wheels (Wide rims) Rear is Halfords with 18t Dicta freewheel and Front is a Bontrager OEM affair. Replaced bearings and a cone in the rear last week so it's as smooth as it's gonna get. Front's a bit grumbly and probably needs the bearings looking at. Good condition 30c Scwhalbe XC tyres and specialized tubes. Probably not as true as they should be but they were not rubbing on my brakes.

Desperately runs to find some one with an iPhone! Dibs on frame!

Wanted: Bullhorn bars - not chop 'n' flop! Preferably black or silver

Anyone got any they want to shift or swap for some standard Surly black drops?

Red cotton flandria jersey, size small. Was nos but I think I ruined it. I washed it which made the red run into the white, then I tried to wear it which stretched it so much the letterring cracked.

Still fine though, reckon you could get the colour run out.

Price: Donation to charity of some sort.
