the pompino looks great (just googled it), i am quite a casual rider, just don't want a beastly lady's bike and would like some speed as well.

am going to head over to cavendish bikes today to see if they have any of the 46cm IRO frames, sounds like 650's are the way to go?

fuji track is also a possibility, only downside is that i can't see i beforehand, and it's not on the cycle to work scheme but would be in budget without it, am looking to spend around £600-£700 if it's cycle to work, but obviously a lot less if it wasn't...

nice - are you getting brakes fitted?

another option is buying a frame and building one myself (or attempting to)-

garr, that's a beaut....

thanks for the info, the globe mixte 1 is kind of the opposite of what i want though....

i looked into the fuji track 43cm, also there's a pake frame which measures up to around 46cm but not sure if it fits 650cc wheels?

OTP are actually pretty hard to find fit wise, i've tried the specialized langster XS (too long), all of the other small frames have too tall a standover height, if i wanted to try out the kinesis decade convert/giant chixie/bowery/fuji track i'd have to order it in and pay for it without actually seeing it first :(

the blue IRO frameset is amazing - where can you get this in london, and is it possible to get one from a shop that is part of cycle to work?

i'm having horrible problems finding a decent singlespeed bike that fits, my standover height is 720mm and at the moment the only options i'm coming up (after a lot of research) are custom builds, but short of spending £800 at BLB i'm not sure what to do? off the pegs are a no go as the 49cm frames are still too big....have spoken to tokyo fixed gear who won't do bikes with 650cc wheels.....

do i need to tie weights to my legs to stretch myself out? or opt for an ugly 24 speed lady's bike (the only off the peg bikes that seem to fit).

any help would be much appreciated!
