Got to love the Bow Frame Parker, but I bet a Parker with Frame Rest is the most versatile.

just dropped it off at my LBS, apparently Kona have a 4 year frame warranty, so i should get a replacement frame. guess it will take a while though.

i have one of these

which has now got a cracked down tube

bit hard to see from the pic, but the crack goes all the way through.

does anyone think this looks repairable?

has anyone had any dealings with Kona? The bike is over a year old now, hard to find info on their warranties.

on the bright side it could result in a new bike...

thanks, yes the merrells have too much crap on them catching all the time.

will investigate vans and the like

cheers

i am riding my fixed in a pair of Merrell Chameleon Slams which are kind of bulky and cause me trouble getting my feet into the pedals.

maybe it is just a practice thing, but it is causing much use of the words F and C.

so i was thinking perhaps someone with would have some recommendations...

lol, i think i can revise my estimate sharply downwards then, have spent far too much already...

thanks for the links

thanks, so prompt....!

not really thought of a budget, sub £100 for both i guess. silver cages and cream straps will be me first choice

had a bit of a search but, not found much

being new, and ignorant (both of which possibly a crime) i want to get some clips or toe straps for my pedals, but do i need both? are they the same thing?

if they are not the same then which are recommended?

what would be suitable for my pedals i have some euxstar track pedals E-PT12

thanks!

thanks for all the comments, constructive, and not...
i plan to just man up and do it, i did 50 miles last year on a FS MTB, how much harder can this be?

i have done a test run around the block and nothing has fallen off. yet.

Having built up my first fixed gear bike, how sensible is it to do a 50 mile ride first time out? Its the 3 Counties Cycle Ride http://www.3ccr.org/ so it's not exactly hardcore, but would it be better to buy a free hub for this? Will i die if i try it fixed?

Thanks

i had a chrome bag, great strap but heavy and held very little for it's size. now got a timbuk2, light and holds loads, but a rubbish strap...

only to Reading station on a singlespeed mountain bike

my first post, although have been a lurker for a while. Live in Reading, dont see all that many fixed bikes around; work in London and see hundreds. Go figure.
