Fixed this Time

[Nigel182]

Got a Track Frame now
Awaiting a few parts but this one will be built up as a Fixed for Road and Commuting Duties ..... tried it on my Duell and have now gone right over to the DarkSide...!!!

Will Post some Pics as the Build Progresses..... hope it doesn't take as long as the Duell took to build.... but it probably will even with knicking a few parts from the Duell (so what ends up left of that will be sold).

Any pics/ progress?!

 

[Nigel182]

Took it out for the Thames Path Meander today...but had to ride it Singlespeed as the rear cog had not arrived in time..will put pics when it's all done as a Fixed.

 

[Nigel182]

Say thats nice. Is that a Giles Berthad ? Saddle.

You have ruined it though with lights, some GPS computer thingy and a pump !!

Whats next, mudguards

 

[Nigel182]

was actually thinking of Panniers front and rear... no need for mudguards then...!!!!!

and Posibly a Frame Pump.... Saddlebag..... am in two minds about Spoke Reflectors too !!!!!

Saddle is a San marco Regal.....

Gilles Berthoud saddles have hex key bolts not hammered rivets.

Also, how much do those dust caps weigh??!

Looks nice though

It's very pretty.



Of course, you'll take some of the slack out of that chain before riding it....

Find the bars ok.....but reckon for a longish trip out they may be a little too narrow for me.....


Fixed Cog arrived today so out and have a try Fixed tomorrow weather permitting ...get a couple of pics too

 

[Nigel182]

Finally finished it and took it out for a 17milejaunt today....my first time Fixed and was impressed....gearing is48:20 at the moment as i want to take it steady first.....

Had a few probs getting into the ToeStraps....will persevere for a while or go over to SPD's.

 

[Rohloff_Brompton_Rider]

stick with toestraps.....it's worth it. u can choose any boots for winter then....

I thought you'd switched over to SPDs?

 

[Rohloff_Brompton_Rider]

nope, may have flirted again, but chucked the spd shoes in the bin. anybody want some shimano spds pedals?

 

[Jezston]

That is beautiful.

Just me perhaps but I think it would look better with the stem the other way up.
