Yeah. I'm also in the wrong there.

Just pulled my finger out and ordered a couple of packs.

on a long fixed-gear ride, the relentlessness internalises the process more than the finite time of an interval

Gutted.

Sadly, scrutinising legislation is something that most MPs just don't do any more. They vote along party lines and leave it to the Lords to look at the detail. Maybe it's worth letting our MPs know about the huge unintended consequences of this component.

We didn't go up any high passes, so you'd have to check temps there. It was typically 25-31 degrees where we went.

My 18-stone mate has been riding a Flying Gate for years and finds them extra strong as well as extra ugly. More triangles than a GT.

Golden Age Cycles never take a good photo and tend not to focus on presentation.

Looks great, especially the chainset.

Do Ofmega fit on any other make? I've heard their taper is weird.

Nice. The key question is: how is their luft? I wouldn't want to lose my street cred if I ever met King Kelly or Big Mig.

I went in 2018. Loved it. Great food, amazing scenery and very friendly locals. The east coast is gorgeous. We didn't ride most of the built-up west. Here's a write-up I did of the trip.

Some tips that spring to mind:
If you are doing the whole island, it's best to go anti-clockwise because of the prevailing wind on the west coast. We spent the last two days riding into a headwind.
Be prepared for torrential rain in the north-east.
If you are planning on taking your bike on the train, double-check the rules. In some parts you can just stick your bike on. In others you need a plastic cover as minimum. And in others you need a proper bike box - as we discovered too late.

Guilty of transcending fixed

I think we need to caveat the terrain we roll on. I live in a hilly part of East Sussex and use 70" so I can get down the hills. A local mate rides 74", but he's young and light and amazing on climbs.

I'm thinking of dropping to 66" to get a bit more speed back in the legs.

RIP

Thanks chaps. If I don't sell it I'll MGOOF it with black components in spring.

Gone (to a pain cave somewhere, no doubt)

Pending

Anyone want a Flite with the cover and padding removed? I can't bear a normal Flite, let alone this.

The Look is a hot yes from me, even with those bars; Somec, GBP.

Nice colour. TT frame, I guess.

I'd get someone to rivet in half a plastic cable guide.

I've got a couple of spare 42T rings. Both 3/32, so fine to use with a 3/32 or 1/8 chain. They have wear from road use, but plenty of life in them, especially the Record one.

Thanks, @EcuriePeril. However, the good Capt and I have similar situations: lots of seaside and too many bikes for our circumstances.

Yeah but proportion

Those forks next to that stem: it hurts to see aesthetics like that

Track bike with ugly injections.

Let's take that one on a cruise and see if it comes back with a suntan.

Is that the GB (Gerry Burgess) logo on them? Pashley must have taken over the brand name.
