I've got a new and unused Bianchi Pista 55cm i'm going to be puting on ebay later tonight it hasnt even been out of the house yet, it's to flashy for me to leave in work. Only problem i'm in Swansea.

Mountain bike in the shed along with my hack bike and my fixie in the dining room.

Well thats me being thick as fuck again and just glancing at the description before rushing out to get the sprocket.

The Chain on my new bike (bianchi Pista) is supposed to be 1 1/8th so i went to my local shop to get a 17tooth 1 1/8th instead of the 16 thats on there. When i fitted the cog i put the wheel back on and put the chain onto the cog and the chain wouldnt sit on the cog properly, only about 3 of the teeth would sit in between the links and the others were sitting on top of the teeth. Have they given me the wrong size or is my chain a 3/32.

I know you need a tube with a valve length between 41mm - 55mm to use with a deep v but who makes them or what do you use apart from them valve extensions.

Just wondering what sizes the deep V's come in are they 650 or 700.

I'm thinking of coming upto London next weekend or monday to buy a new frame and all the bits to build it up, including wheels or the parts to build the wheels up.
Please can some of you nice people on here point me in the direction of some good shops that mainly deal with all things fixie, or areas where there are a good choice of shops.

How much did it cost you overall in time and mhoney?

Total including the bike it cost £145 ish give or take a few £'s

Thanks for all the comments guys I'm pretty happy with it for my first conversion/build.

Parabellum
To remove the braze-ons i ground the tops off with a small angle grinder, leaving a small amount of them still on the frame so that i didnt go to close to the frame and damage it. With what was left of them i then filed off by hand.
