It's not a fixed wheel or a single speed and I'm not in London, however I have somehow ended up a forum member so here's a picture of my newly rebuilt ride to work.

Great ride !

For me, the stem is a bit to high. But if the riding position is good for you, it's okay!

^+1 you might find a bigger frame would suit you better but for a run around bike it looks good.

Cheers.
The frame's a bit too small for me really but it's only for grinding the 3 miles to work and back and it was cheap!

You got in with that just before me!
I am looking for a bigger frame if anyone around the West Mids has a very cheap one (£10ish), although it'll probably be for a new project as I have found my dad's old flip-flop hub and a pair of only slightly knackered Fiamme tub rims and my utterly knackered old Brooks saddle.

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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

> Quote text by starting lines with >

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

```

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

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
