    This would look right at home with some carbon forks. Didn't you have carbon on your last bike?

  • Hahah, yeah, but I sold them with my old frame... Didn't really like them... Not stiff enough!

  • Surly.. done. Pics to come. Just had a jaunt back from PuP's brakless. yehboi

  • ATTENTION DRIVERS... It might be worth leaving your cars at home for a week or 5! Lol!

  • Nah, will whack that brake on shortly. Don't mind being without, except I suck going down hills..

  • Practise! Lol. Nah tis all good. Brakes are a good idea! Got any pictures yet?

  • Nope, no camera except the one on my phone at the moment, wouldn't do it justice.

  • OK cool. Saturday night. Pottergate underpass. Lets get some sna-ps

  • Saturday night is no good, Festival last night party. After that, I become a whole lot free-er though.

  • Do it in the week then...

  • I've just bought a new camera which I need to try out, fancy taking a few snaps next Friday if we are riding? Can't do tonight as I'm booked up!

  • Sweet, what ya got?

  • 5D :) Full frame heaven.

  • Nice one... If it was a choice between one of those and a nikon, for me it would be a nikon, but canon are seriously good. I have got a lot of camera knoledge and experience from college, and my wife is a photographers assistant.

  • Well I've just jumped ship from Nikon to Canon (Dad's got all my old Nikon kit). There really isn't much in it for me, canon offer a cheaper full frame camera, which did it for me. Shooting a 35/2 in a lovely bright viewfinder is like shooting film again with no annoying digital crop like usual!

  • Nice...

  • OK well there are now at least 2 fixies in Dereham!
    Fixed project is go... :-D

  • Get some foot retention, then head out on a Friday ride with us.

    :)

  • Heh heh, already sorted! Swapped the pedals shortly after taking the photo :-)
    Dunno quite how I'd get to Norwich avec bike on a Friday coz I work in Swaffham & don't drive....
    It'd be good fun though, I'm already in love with fixed gear riding! :-D

  • We usually go 15-20 miles out of the city into the wind, have a drink somewhere then head back. If you're interested then you could get the train in one night and meet us.

  • Sparky there are no trains from Dereham to Norwich - even though we have a train station.

  • ?!

    Mad.

  • Maybe we should bike to Dereham, come and see some of your manner, then head back.

  • Oh yeah and drink, along with blast out some of the dereham area... Not done that on a friday yet!
