Never had a meaty crumble, that's an epicurean delight that's so far eluded me. However when it comes to desserts you can't get much more noble than a blackberry and apple crumble. With a decent clotted cream.

I follow it on twitter which is how I heard about this here place.

Um.. yes, BB spindle look too long on both sides.

Also.. did you check the width of the rear triangle on both frames? Maybe just the way the pics have been take but the gap between the rear cog and the derailleur drop out seems rather wide to me.

The older frame may have been narrower across the dropouts.

The new frame - did you discuss with the vendor you'd be running it as a fixed?

Use a double-sided rear hub with a smaller sprocket on one side than the other. Or a larger one if you prefer. Turn the wheel around to ascend or descend. Don't take much luggage, keep it light. Hotels & showers much better than any tent & sleeping bag. Third day in will probably be the worst from a psychological PoV. Best not to use a fierce track geometry frame, go for something more chilled and relaxed. But really, jfdi and have a blast.

Too late! I pressed it and got scared so closed my eyes until the room stopped spinning.

Thx for the welcome andyp.. Jez isn't but will send him the link tho he'd be cheating as he rides with more than one gear. Tch! These youngsters...

Well, I'm a newbie to this place so it's with some trepidation that I post which I hope is a post and counts towards my initial minimum get-me-out-of-here-I'm-a... So anyway I ride a fixed, it's the only bike I've got now, having given road bike to No1 son as he lives in Brixton and needs a set of wheels to get around. The bike I ride is a Bianchi track bike 73" fixed, 68" if I turn the wheel around. But then would I go backwards? No - that's not a real question so don't chuck me off because I asked a dumb question.

I used to have 6 bikes when I raced. Best result was under the hour for a 25 on what was the E72 back in the day... road an 88" fixed and my claim to fame if you can call it that was this was the first fixed wheel sub-60 min 25 in the 100+ year history of the club. So there.

I live in Maidenhead so why join a London forum? I love fixed and loving the revival of fixed, some of the bikes around are just fantastic. And for a few years, as I've been trundling around the leafy Berkshire lanes, the quintessentially English Chilterns, I have yet to see another fixed rider...

I can do track stands. Memories of Herne Hill...

Soon as I can find the right buttons to press, I'll upload a pic.

Wonder what the "Go Advanced" button does?
