Waaaaheeeey 🤣🤣

Unfortunately had a change of work rota so can’t make it anymore. Gutted!

Looking forward to the ride and meeting some forum crew!

Hi Peter may well just be my phone but I can’t see an image there. Cheers

Hey, thanks very much. That madigan one looks like her cup of tea. I’m on call the next week but would I maybe able to come check it out next weekend?

Hi everyone, this will be for my partner, she’s 5ft 4 so something suitable for that height range. Not a massive budget at £240 but looking for a single speed or road bike if possible for that price. For cruising around London and maybe slightly further afield in countryside with light hills. Ready to ride if possible as currently working way too much for a project!!! Thanks

Also damn people not a fan of those tires it seems! Good to know

I always pack my snorkel when out on a ride

Sweet!

Also, I’ve been looking at a pair of thickslicks (mainly for appearances sake because I’m being that guy 🙄). How do they run on gravel?

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place. Due to a lack of knowledge I’ve been a bit paranoid about riding my track bike on canal paths and riverside path, gravel etc lately as it’s running on 23’s. I’m not worried about the control side of things but I’m quite worried about punctures from stones etc as they are thin tyres.

Is this a load of nonsense? I think I’m overly concerned as my brain tells me they’re more suitable for road at this width; or does the width only effect control of the bike on gravel etc not puncture proofing? I’m running schwalbe marathon plus. Just my rides take me into canal paths and gravel riverside paths quite a lot and I’d like to ride them with some more confidence as I’m always worried about loose stones etc giving me a puncture. Thanks in advance!

Sweet. This is all great to know. Think I’m going try and be patient then save a little more to build a nice cinelli. Thanks for everyone’s input and advice (and of course anymore that’s coming my way!). Much appreciated

Thanks for the link! I’ll have a look at those. Seems like a good option. In case I do go down the pre built has anyone got any experience with aventon bikes? Again they seem great on the surface but would prefer to hear actual riders experience

I guess between 50-60 miles (not sure if that counts as long - It is for me anyway, fitness isn’t fantastic these days)at a time, mainly urban for casual ride/commute or light countryside (eg Kent and suburbs) for days out riding. Have also been considering aventon mataro, dream would be a cinelli

Ok; that’s good input. I’d like to ride fast but also iI’d like to be able to still be comfortable over long distances and also sometimes just cruise along casually. I did wonder if this was a bit of a silly idea.

I’ve also been looking at state bicycle black label v2, which seems a good compromise of light but strong and slightly less aggressive. Do you know anything about state? On the surface they seem like good bikes but it’s hard to find anything about people’s long term experience using them.

Hi, is this still for sale? I’m local to you and interested in the whole bike. Also are the existing forks drilled for brakes? Keen to put a front one on for emergency stops. Thanks! Luke

Hi everyone, new user here, hope I’m posting in the appropriate place. Hoping to get back into riding fixed again after I unfortunately had to scrap an old road bike that I converted to fixed a few years back. I’m currently looking at the Planet X Roi de velo with the intention of changing the forks to a drilled fork that will accept a brake so I can ride it on the road for a fast runaround. However it does say on their website it’s purely designed for track usage not the road - how much of this is arse covering and would I be fine to ride it on the road? or am I genuinely being an idiot considering riding this bike on the road. It’s a carbon bike which I understand you can’t beat up as much (prepared to be corrected if I’m
Wrong about this) and I don’t want to spend money and end up trashing it within a few months due to inappropriate use. Thanks in advance.
