Ber-limey, that is unusual........What's with those bars then?? Are they 'T' shaped at the ends?

Nice bike - Out of interest, why did you cut down the drops?

Ha.
Well I rarely, pretty much never, used the drop part of the bars. So seeing at the bike was a new project, and being fixed was sort of minimalist, I thought I would lop off what wasn't necessary.

It'll be a cold day in hell before that happens! One day I may build a singlespeed but it will be based on a frame with rear entry dropouts, fixies are not for me, I like to be able to freewheel even if I don't do so very often. And as my kids point out, old farts like me should never, ever, under any circumstances whatsoever try to be cool!

My new baby......frame off ebay, parts from various upgrades.

Pedals need replacing with SPDs and yes those are v-brakes. Used tektro road v-brake levers and crosstops, and shimano bar end shifters.

I've learned to cycle on a fixed gear. I've had a geared bike for a while but never got used to it.
I just like the feel of fixed gear bike, to me geared bikes feel like a cycle trainer in the gym. Plain.

I'm not sure if Real is the word I use for my latest editions to the stable.

My latest ebay buy for the summer CTC rides - Bit of a tank at 15kg. Very smooth ride though now everything has been stripped and lubed.

A recent project. In fact my only ride just now. A mid 90's frame bought from biggsy.

Very comfortable indeed.
