Thanks a lot, as it stands I may ask if I can borrow that fixie you mentioned earlier, cycling to work on that MTB adds about 5 minutes full pelt to what is essentially a 10min journey if taking it easy and im covered in sweat by the time I get there. Oosh I bet that Mercian is a beut. How did you figure out that other frame was a mere plain gauge? Did it just not have a sticker, did you do the tap test or do you have a portable x-ray machine?
Only just heard about this 6 bolt cog for the fixed cog thing. I am intrigued, looks great!

This is tempting, I'll have a look around. I keep reading bad things about the hubs, though this was never my experience.

Haha! Very kind of you Alex thankyou, I reckon i'll take you up on this offer if my purchase of an old claud butler dalesman goes through. Reynolds 531 frame too - looking forward to seeing it in person.

I'm not sure I could confidently and reliably tension them evenly. Sounds tricky

Thanks for your reply Kramertron, I've never done anything like that before though. How fiddly is it and whats the likelihood of me producing a sub par wheel because somethings ever so slightly wonky through lack of knowledge

Hi people, first time poster here.
I'm wondering whether its possible to get a decent fixie wheelset for around the £200 price point. Something to buy then forget about for a long time i.e. sturdy but also in the early 2000g range or lower. My last set were halo aerotracks, served me well for 6 years 'til the bike was stolen a few days ago, but cant seem to find these anymore. Is 2nd hand advisable with a few caveats or not worth it as far as wheels go?
Thanks in advance
