people who ride brakeless aren't always slower!

i think i may change my gear down, i've been riding 88 gear inches for a year now, and my knees feel fine, but it's effort at the lights!!! and i tackled highgate west hill the other day, ouch!

thought people might find this useful:

just take a set of risers off any old mountain bike!!! then chop them down, go down brick lane on a sunday and there's loads of scrap, lots of risers that can be cut down

what's the lacing on the rear wheel of the harry quinn??

i got knocked off on camden street two weeks ago:

1bhp:v nice!

can't stop thinking about how i'm going to build it..

thinking i'm going to put a set of nitto b125s i have on it, white champ grips, with nitto stem and seat post, sugino 75s, white saddle (selle italia turbo?), white deep v's on gold tecs??

dreams..

I personally think that Deep Vs on that frame would be like wearing Nike Shox with a Saville Row Suit. Same for Goldtec hubs and (especially) the same for level hubs. I actually have deep rims and a goldtec hub on my bike, but I don't think it would look right on a 3 Rensho.

I would go for a slimmer track hub (Japanese if you want) instead of something chunky and some lower profile rims in silver. DA7600s are good looking hubs, if you want something new school and a bit different then maybe have a look at Gromada hubs (small or medium flange). If you can afford it then some low flange Phils from America might look nice. I'd go for open pros in silver with the stickers taken off or some velocity aeros.

this is exactly what i was thinking about putting deepv's on it, the goldtecs are purely because they're amazing, and a lot cheaper than a set of phils, but DA7600s were my other thought with aeros, but going all NJS on wheels is bonkers, araya rims... i don't even know if you can get NJS approved clinchers

i'm going to do l2b fixed this year, did brighton to london geared last summer, a couple of my mates did it fixed (brakeless) and took their feet off the pedals on the last hill!!

i have a selle italia trans am, with a "gel flow" hole, very comfortable!!

i was thinking dura ace cranks, what do you mean by SLR?
