  Hah! 366 days, that's minor. I waited about 13 months for a Pegoretti which got delivered in early 2012. No deposit to worry about though.

  When I did about 500 miles beyond the service interval (holidays, forget to book service, etc) the warning triangle lit which gave me a fright. Got the service, warning disappeared, I assume due to the service interval reset.

  There used to be a TA track spider for the Pro Vis 5 but probably only on ebay these days.

  The Waterrower have a more realistic feel of an oar in water at the beginning of the stroke than Concept2.

  You can change the resistance but it requires the addition or subtraction of water from the vessel. That's a bit of a pain.

  I'm no Chris King expert but isn't the headset fitted upside down in the head tube?

  Long term lurker here. This bike is Columbus Max and on it's second colour scheme.

  I built the frame as a road fix in 2000(ish) and it was pretty much my weekend ride for many years. I pretty much built it round a set of 1963 Campag pista hubs (32/40) but it's now got my old track wheels in it.

  After a series of illnesses I've been riding gears as my lungs won't let me go up hills like I used to (which is slowly). I'm hoping to get back out on this as there's no better way of getting fitter than riding a fixed gear in Yorkshire.
