Bretty, thankyou for posting pics, also for the great ideas on a self build Fixie. Certainly makes for a more rewarding project, when you know every component you hand picked, plus built up yourself. This is the route I'm planning to take (no pun intended). :thumbup
An interesting debate on cyclists plus how they do / don't ride properly has ensued.
The state of our UK roads doesn't help the lycra clad two wheelers.
Theres plenty of pot holes that are bad enough to ruin car tyres/suspension, let alone a thin spoked cycle wheel that happens to ride into one. The cyclist should however see these ahead as a hazard and carefully plan to avoid them smoothly (just as we avoid hazards we spot on a motorcycle, by planning ahead). Instead of swerving last second and almost causing an accident - in reality though..............
