Why not post a picture of your Fixed/Singlespeed bike

It's things like the brake bridge - just doing up the brake mounting bolt (not even very tight) shaved the paint off there. Maybe a touch of clear varnish over that spot would help. And I will just have to be very careful with it generally.

Clear varnish orta do it.
Without getting all Mountain Bikey,what about some Helitape on the places most likely to be affected ?
Clear and wont take the look away.
Just a thought.

Only thing I don't like is that the paint is very fragile - already has a few chips (really must fit a chainstay protector). But then what did I expect for £80? Ho hum.

Wonder how much a car paint shop would take to give it a blast over with a couple of coats of lacquer?

Love the green on that frame. I wish they did the step-through version in that colour- or rather, I'm glad they don't, because I probably would have had a credit card accident by now if they did. It's still proving difficult to resist the temptation of the orange or cream variants now that they're down to £60...I really really don't need another singlespeed/fixed bike, though, as the lovely Genesis would be jealous.

My other monogeared bike - a Felt Breed SS CX. It's been languishing in the garage for a while, in need of some tlc, and I finally got round to it recently. Finished fettling the brakes and adding fresh bar tape yesterday so took it for a play in the woods this morning...

Planning on taking it racing next weekend.

I have a big roll of erosion tape; it's a thick clear rubbery coating we put on wing leading edges etc. It's what I use to protect chainstays.

If anyone wants a bit, just PM me an address...

On holiday this week so was looking forward to getting out and about but with grey skies and stair rods it's best not to gamble with the late running drivers so this had a good if not rather wet outing

The image was taken at the site of my after school off road heaven, we called it the hills and hollows back then.

Looks like Eaglesham Moors and the Whitelee

 

[GGJ]

Yes it is, not often you see it looking as splendid as today

Lovely day for Whitelee.
I like to start from the "Strathaven " side and go over the middle to the Visitors Centre.
It's great for a wee blast

Strathaven is the wrong end for me. If I do Strathaven I turn right off the A71 and go over the back roads past the back of the windfarm and re-emerge in the middle of Darvel, Newmilns, Galston, Moscow, Waterside and back towards Glasgow

That's a good run though @GGJ

50 miles and 3200 feet of climbing. Might try it on the single speed once the legs get used to one gear again

My 2010 Reynolds 853 pro team Mercian Vincitore Special single speed in 'intensio blue', running 50-17 currently. Absolutely love this bike, a keeper for life.
