Knights Hill is a bit of a killer. It runs from Norwood bus garage up to crown point. Its long and has a gradient change.
How do fixed freestyle bikes handle? - OR other bikes for bombing round town!

I'm looking into the same thing.

I currently ride a old Cinelli based road bike, but want to get a fixed freestyle frame and build a bike from there. Brick Lanes Bikes do a freestyle frame and fork combo at a reasonable price and a friend suggested the Surley SteamRoller frame/fork set up too.

so far i've found it seems better in the long run to build a freestyle bike than to but an off the shelf bike.

I'm going to check out 14 Bike Co, as they do built to order bikes and are proven freestyle bikes. Frames are built by SuperTed and he rides hard so will definitely be up to the job!
