looks smart mate, Blue is the colour!
What tyres are they?

You need drop bars. Which will mean you need bar tape, which will mean you need blue bar tape

bugger Bonj, I like them

I've got red ones, but quite fancy some fancy colours next time...mine are turning into slicks (from the little bit of tread they did have).

I think they match the bike and look good

That looks ****ing ugly.

Or Blue grips

Looks good to me

They're Schwalbe Blizzard Sports. Cheap (£10 each).

The bike came with drop bars, but I swapped them to flats. Planning on it becoming fixed when I get the next bike on C2W.

probably not the best frame for that as i think it looks a bit new to have horizontal drop-outs at the rear.

Looks great, nothing wrong with a bit of colour co-ordination (says me with red, black and white sync'd gear).

Would look good with some blue grips/bar tape, or maybe some blue cabling?

 

[Renard]

Is this a bit like 'Queer eye for the straight guy'? Is Bonj the forum's Carson Kressley?

 

[Joe24]

It doesn't, but there are ways around that.

Expensive wheel build?
Half link and hope you get the gear right?
File abut off the drop outs to give you abit more?

More trouble then its worth IMO.

not to mention that you can't run a double hub without changing the chain each time…

the blue tyres look good by the way.

Yep, you have to work out how many to take off from the front and back to get the chain tension right again, which involves lots of working out.
Unless you have the ENO hub thing.

i guess you could run a double hub with fixed one side, freewheel the other. would mean having to have a rear brake though…
