Hi all--
I'm sure this question has been asked endlessly before, but couldn't find it in the search tags.
So, having now flipped the wheel and got the chain-tension nice and tight on my new(ish) Condor Tempo (I know, I know, pipe-and-slippers present and correct!), I now feel like a proper-assed fakenger.
Am therefore in the market for more spoke cards to complement my Barack Obama one (http://www.obamaspoke.com/) of which a colleague kindly ordered a job-lot recently. Being Peckham-based, I saw a lovely Bianchi Pista chained-up outside Morrison's the other day, complete with LGFSS "Airfix" card. Wondering where I can get one?--I'll pay, natch.
Beyond that, does anyone out there know of other sources for this kind of bike-pimping, without having to actually take part in alleycat races (although that does sound fun... )?
Ideas on a spokecard, please,
Neo.

Hello all--
Just "flipped" the wheel to ride my new Condor Tempo fixed for the past couple of days.
Needless to say, I'm loving it, esp. (wobbly) track-standing and a moderate amount of leg-braking (at v. slow speed so far), but my knees are killing me. So, I'm wondering: Will this pass? Or will I get used to it and / or develop the muscles of a sumo wrestler? Or am I just being a big wet blanket?! Anyone have any tips to keep the knees limber?
If I get the hang of it, I may yet come down to the car park in Peckham for a spot of polo....

In lieu of photos, meant to add a link to the Genesis web-site:

Terribly sad news. My thoughts are with you at this time, Velcro, and with Eilidh's family.
Stay safe, everyone, especially in this treacherous weather.
