A Carlton Corsair I bought second hand in 1982 has been propping up a shelf in my sisters greenhouse for years, until I reclaimed it, threw away all the rusty bits & moss, then took it to the lbs for fixie conversion (all hail to Edinburgh Bike in Newcastle). Got it last night and (ambitiously) used it to go to work in Cramlington (about 10 miles north). Unfortunately, I forgot I had to go to meeting in Morpeth (6 miles further) then cycle home from there.
It's a bit hilly, and the whole fixed thing took some getting used to - i think I love it, but my thighs are stinging!
