This view is with 22mm tubulars.
ye but no but ye but.. what if you move the rear wheel a bit more to the back.. ..and change the fork :) iam sure you could squeeze some 2.10 tyres in there if you try hard :D:D
Just spoke to guys at condor today.. they assured me that alu frames are perfectly ok for road... just bit.... guess what.. stiff.
they say they are fast and good to accelerate. and i like that because i like to go off fast
just got confused with some opinions here

just dont know anymore if ist worth spending all that money on "OTP" kinda bike from condor... hmmm... lost -
Agree with you guys, comfort is not an issue for me, i prefer performance to comfort usually :) but even with stiff frame there probably would be a way around it - 25 or 28mm tires, choice of seat, seat post, fork i can guess..
The fatigue is the thing.. loads of those 'commercial' bikes are made of alu and they apparently sell and last and don't usually fall apart but i wonder if they would last decades like some old steel frames. Iam going to use my bike for races, A to B commuting from bank to stokey (through harsh Kingsland Rd :/ ) thats why my concern..
Kerley what Dolan frame do you ride?

see.. is it not too damaging to the frame tho? i suppose you could cushion it a bit maybe by using 28mm tyres (...or rubber spokes :D ), longer+softer seatpost and that
Iam thinking of building my own fixed and i like these frames from condor.. esp. lavoro.. just dont know if it would work for road.. -

What bike stands do you use for FIXED gear repairs and service? Anybody turn their bike over?
