Hi Skully
I've got a Brooks Colt...have you "done" one of those??? It's got lots of leather, even compared to a B17 so will need lots of chopping!

Quick note of supprt for PX....I bought a carbon trackbike plus some extra carbon wheels from them jst before Christmas (yes, my Christmas pressies to myself) and the service was excellent...I'm sure they must be having problems because this doesn't sound like my experience!

the only ride I've done on it was down to the station last week....to be turned back by the guard...so I know they won't let me on....(London Midland)...on their website, it says it's won to the discretion of the guard on the day, which is such a lottery it's not worth the risk of being late (I work for myself so time's money as they say).....

I've got another track bike that I race on, so won't be giving up fixed, but the Katana is a bit too nice to sit in the garage and not get ridden...so better to sell nd take the hit I think

I'm after something like a Mezzo D9 or D10.....anyone got one they'd do a cash/swap deal for???

I've just finished my Katana Tsunami, built with:
Nitto NJS bars and seatpost
Soyo grips
SR NJS stem
Planet X tub wheels with Conti Duraskin tubs
Truvativ Omnium cranks
105 front brake with Kore suicide lever

It's gorgeous BUT I built it up to commute on, only to find my local train co wonn't take bikes (other than the folding variety!!!) so now I'm goin to have to sell it to invest in a (gulp) folder instead.....might be interested in a partial swap deal....but bear in mind it cost me £1300 to build and its been ridden up the road ONCE!!!!

I'm going to list it on the classifieds section once I'm out of the nursery (!!).....look out for it!

Actually, I like the look of that Airnimal Rhino....never seen one of those....tho it lookslike it won't run fixed, which is a shame!

Once I'm past the Nursery, I'll be advertising a brand new built Katana Tsunami....loads of nice new bits on it ....inc NJS bars, stem, seatpost, etc, etc....

Thing is, now I've done a search on here, looks like there are few people out there who won't like it (which I find very hard to believe!); lots of moans about the decals, etc....

anyway, look out for it....it's really nice!!
