I just got a new job and need something to commute on, complete bike singlespeed or fixed and 56-59cm.
Don't mind conversions as long as they are decent, have a nice track bike but don't want to leave it locked at work because it's not completely secure and I will be spending some of the day out on the road (in a van). Therefore i'm not to bothered about looks, more quality of build and components i.e - not a create or unipack.

Budget of about 200 squid so if you have something you want to pass on let me know. Oh and i'm in Bristol now so need to be able to courier it if possible.

Go geared. bristol is not flat. and 200 notes will get you a pretty nice roady from one of our european friends.

I know, been riding geared here and it's just not giving me the physique i'm after ! (i'm actually quite porky these days). In fact i have a shitty old Raleigh Pioneer in the garage but can't bring myself to ride it. Then there is the fact that i kill bikes so better off keeping it simple. Was even thinking about looking for a pompino (the bike not the act) if I can find a suitabley battered one.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
