[QUOTE 2657013, member: 1314"]What front wheel is that Nigel? And where do you plan to ride it?[/quote]
It's an Aerospoke
Using mostly on the commute to work with occasional trips up the River Lea to Broxbourne and some LFGSS rides in the City when not working

Me thinks you can forget keeping your teeth ;-) riding that.

[QUOTE 2657043, member: 1314"]What's it like on tough commuting roads?[/quote]
it's not 3 bad but a little dicey is strong crosswinds reckon that will get worse when the big Carbon Wheel turns up...so then it'll be "Pose Mode only"

Just putting the finishing touches to my Winter fixed wheel, it is (I think) a early mid eighties 25" raleigh team cadet frame not 531 like it pretends( I am 6'2 and this is the size I have ridden since reaching this height and was the size my hand built frames were)with a cut down brooks saddle north road bars (ish) shimano chainset on a mavic 36 spoke front with a new cheapy ebay rear and a running a shade above 69". It

weighs in a less then the magic 10kNot sure whether to keep it yet as I have plenty of other ideas kicking around my head and only so much space in the house.

Here is my freshly built fixie... Finished today! Based on a 1970/1980 Peugeot SuperSport which I brought to Germany from Holland, after its wheels got busted i ended up buying a new bike and this one sat around doing nothing for 4 months, til this week when I decided I wanted to build something! It has original frame, bars and seatpost, the forks were donated by a friend and the crank too (which will be replace with a shimano 600 crank when i get round to it) The wheelset is Weinmann DP18's with Quando hubs (cheap 100euro wheelset) and the seat was another donation, the white chain is new though and the front brake is an original Peugeot centre pull!
Hope you guys like it as much as I do!
Forgive the terrible photo quality!

1 centre pull brake? You like 'interesting' rides then.

Not sure about the white chain though.

70" according to Sheldon. Big improvement in ride over my old Charge Plug.

(and the bike ain't bad either)

I'm a dead man

I like the bars.

definitely getting rid as far too may bikes in my house, and the butchers bike and me are friends again and that takes up one hell of a lot of room as I can't hang it from the ceiling because I can't lift it that high.

Any reasoning behind back brake only?

 

[Jack Moulsdale]

haha, i only had a back brake spare when i put it together, and i'm a twat. will not be repeating this on my new build, need front and rear
