Asking what I paid which was £180 collected from Oxford

Rear drop out width on the frame?

On country roads early in the morning most drivers aren't expecting to stop within the distance they can see. If they come around a bend and find me in the middle of thelane at a 50mph differential..... I currently position myself about half way between kerb and centre of the lane - feels like I have some room to move if I have to but at least once a week I get some cnut who howls past so I nearly shit myself.

What can us rural cyclists do about drivers who pass at an inch away at about 60? If a camera is the answer where do you point it - backwards?

How do you translate standard bike dimensions to Lo-pro ie if I fit a 58square normal bike what sort of lo-pro dimensions should I be looking for?

Are tubs still used for TT?

Thanks for the info. swrv shorts and endura top look OK

I'm doing a lot more road biking and will probably do some more sportive type stuff. I wear ordinary shorts (padded underwear) a base layer and a windproof in an attempt not to look like some Tour de France wannabe when I can't pedal for shit.

Is there some gear I can wear that' s comfortable, doesn't flap around like hell yet doesn't make me feel like a twat (I'm closer to 50 than I care) as I would if skin tight lycra from head to foot.

Dibs on the new price!

Seems I can't manage anywhere near the gearing everyone seems to run. I worked out I ran 71 gear inches last night and my knees are killing me today. Generally I try to select a gear lower than I think on my normal road bike and like to be at a cadence of 100-110 or so. Looks like I want about 58-60 gear inches which looks to be 48/21 or 44/20 and seems nuts compared to you all. Maybe I should just stick to gears.....

I'd like to try fixed(to improve my fitness and to try something new but before I took the plunge I took my crosstrail hybrid out in 'fixed mode at 48-18. It wears 700c 28 continentals at present and weighs about 27lb. I did a 9mile circuit at about 16.5mph average. Gearing Cadence felt slow although when I counted it was around the 70-80 range.

Bike I'm interested in is a Boardman (found one cheap) fixed which comes 48-16. The lighter weight (8lb odd), better position and narrower tyres will no doubt help but it feels like I want to stick a 20 on the back at the moment (or bigger) or stick with gears

Bike will be used for fitness and once a week to work (56mile round trip) with some loong hills.

As ever depends - ranges from something I'm willing to lock up outside the office (next the the job centre) to more for something stunning.....

Not having the time or skill I'm in the market for what is probably a deeply unfashionable style of fixed (ie extremely non urban). Being in the sticks I'm after a normal style road bike with drops, front and rear normal brakes, decent steel frame and normal style wheels for 23s or similar. Size 57/58cm

Anyone?

Hi,

pm sent

OK I'll take them. And thus starts the expenditure..........

As I'm new I can't pm you? Let me know how you want to proceed.

Just got off the phone from Royce who are fairly convinced they are 126mm?

Thompson (by orbit) 531c with 126mm reardropouts (without wheel) currently housing 130mm freewheel hub. Considering renovating and finding a period groupset but it's not exactly easy.

As you might detect I'm new to this....

Which seals are they fitted with - track or all weather? I am very interested but need to measure the drop out.

Can anyone take the time to explain to this newbieif these could be used as a good set of wheels on my ancient but much loved Orbit 531C that currently wears a set of weinemans (sp?) with - wait for it a shimano 6speed freewheel......
