It was me Melv. I do that ride from my Mum's in Ashwell to Herne Hill in London every once in a while. it's good training. I was wondering if you took your bikes down to Bowes Lyon? I used to hang out there a lot with my skateboard. My bikes a 753 Whitcomb (not Witcomb) from the Wirral. Not surprised you couldn't see what it was - I hadn't cleaned it in 6 months. Good to put a name to face.

Haha yea good old bowes. I used to skate there when I was a kid, then bmx, then blades and yes I've taken my fixed there a few times. Not that I can do much on it there but the bmxers think it's fun to have a go!... Yea when you didn't stop at the station I thought you must be going to knebworth station. Haha. How naive of me... Whitcomb, I remember seeing it now, that's why I mentioned deptford even though it's the witcomb shop! Haha. Any who, nice to meet you, maybe I'll see you again 1 day on your journey to London, I'll be on the east coast 12:30 train tho to kings cross peering out the window at welwyn garden city thinking to myself "ah there's that piston legged lew red chap!"

Probs too late now but I caught up with a guy riding fixed in Stevenage on Saturday. Chucked a few words at eachother. He said he was just flying by and was cycling back to south London. Anyone from here? Didn't really see his bike. Think it was surly?? Massive bag and shades!

my very much loved benotto was stolen last night or this morning from my garden in stevenage.

please see my pic and let me know if you see it around.

the frame is yellow, white and green with a black 3t quill with ernesto colnago signature on, a black tange head set, nitto capped end bars, black concor saddle, black front h+son and white rear h+son and gippemie crank set.

anyone that has any information that leads to the recovery of it will get £100.

today is a sad day :(

haha, ok. it was funny tho.

i live here and i dont really know either. its a cloudy mist that ive never really looked into. maybe thats why ive not found more fixed heads!?

cheers man

thats why i keep getting chased by the rozzers then! haha.

what makes you say that? apart from the hills.

hi, is there anyone on here from hertfordshire? or more specific north hertfordshire? i live in stevenage but work in london. i have a friend that i converted to ride fixed and also paddy whos on here is from hertford but i was just wondering if there were anymore lurking around that fancy coming out. as far as im aware us 3 are the only fixed riders around here.

let me know

thanks

its a brick lane frame. ive had it for just over 2 years. it was actually a sample that the builder gave to them to see if they wanted a load built which they did a year later. i think the tall head tube is a mistake but i like it and theres no other frame like it. saves on the spacers too. ha. ive just totally rebuilt it and sprayed it (im colour blind if you were wondering why the strange colours) the saddle is a concor from that new shop 14 bike co.

been loitering around with intent to post on here for a year or so , so heres my ride>
and this is me on a good day!

ok ive just got some power grips to go on some 5050s on my work hack.
does anyone have any more pics of teds bike with a better view of how he got them to fit? or have had the same problem? solution?

cheers.

stepney green. fixed.

wow. thanks guys. thats loads of help.
(eeehhhh youre right)i will be honest and say i think couriering looks cool, fixed or free im not fussed about but im sure in time i will favour one. from reading that link i never knew how demanding couriering would be. non the less i wont let it put me off, i have popped up to brick lane bikes and i have put a deposit on a set up with one of their own frames that they will be selling soon. its a fixed wheel but it has a flip flop hub so after an initial mess around possible crash and your advise i will switch it to a free wheel. i already do deliveries at work and as ill be riding to work i can use it for that so i can build to my knowledge of the west end and get fit!

thanks again eeehhhh, punkpixel, the brick and winston. all of your info is a great help to me. step by step i shall go after having a tester ride on a fixed wheel. so alien but strangely addictive.

hi all! my name is martin and i live in whitechapel. i want to get a fixed gear bike and i have been drawn to the pearson touche. ive never used a fixed gear before and to be honest i havent had a bike for over 10 years but ive decided that this is the way i have to go!?!?.... i also have an old road bike i can steal off my old dots boyfriend which i would like to strip and build into a lovely, solid, gear hating, king of the tarmac, beast but i think to get me started i should get something that i havent massacred!
i would like to say that im glad i found this site and that everyone on here seems really chilled and cool. and because of that i was hoping maybe you could answer a few questions for me.

well i plan on commuting to work for free on my fixie as soon as i get it and then try to get into courier work! what i was wondering was, what do i need to do to become a courier?

im guessing a few of you guys on here are couriers as i watch all these fixed wheel junkies all day zipping around mayfair delivering stuff. you are the guys that have given me the bug so any info on this would be great.

cheers guys! and gals?

M.
