I like it for it's style and age, but it's in scruffy beater condition and there are plenty of much cheaper pub hacks around. To make it nice would involve spending several hundred quid, and the start price is too high for a bike that's gone beyond the stage of giving it a wipe over with a rag to get the grime off it. That is proper shabby.

It seems that with Fixed/SS bikes the less bike you get the more you pay! And 52/16 gearing? Must have strong legs or no gradients to worry about.....

Good luck, let us know how you get on. Too far away from me otherwise I’d be interested.

Thanks, might have a stab at that.

Too far from me as well otherwise I'd have been interested. I'm not that way for a few weeks.
