    I bought a Bike Tool Kit from LIDL. £20 absolute steal!
    It literally has everything! I have never been short of the right tool for the job.
    One thing I will say; the lock ring tool isn't too crackey. It's got a pivot on it so you can't get a decent purchase on the lock ring to give it a proper tighten. Pick one up off eBay for a couple of squirrels and you're sorted.

    looks piff. i wish i could fit 38s on my rims ><

    Cheers mate. They only just fit. When I first put them on they didn't sit quite right so I had to over inflate the tyre to pop them on!

    Here's my work in progress

    Just got into riding fixed so picked up this Plug Freestyle from eBay to learn with.
    In the procces of turning it into a FGFS.

    Changes I've made so far:
    NS Quark Pro Stem
    NS Mint bars (cut down to 630mm from 710mm)
    NS Aerial Pedals
    Mankind Asadi Grips
    700 x 38C Tyres (originals were 28c)
    ebay Straps
    Charge Scissor Forks (next month)

    Really enjoying fixed so far. Was a bit odd at first but slowly getting used to it.
    I've kept a front brake on for emergencies. For some reason bicyles are invisible to people in Leeds!
