My 12yo daughter's new track 'iron'.

[mickle]

48 spokes! 12lbs!! (sans pedals). She asked for a 'fixie' but I've no idea what a 'fixie' is.

So I got her a track bike instead. She bloody loves it. The bikey boys were all over it today at school. It needs some sorting before she hits the York Velodrome though

Nice looking bike, no wonder she is the envy of everyone at school.

It's coming on real well. It's on track for being completed on schedule.

****ing cool bike.

Love the pedal skip behind it too.

Nice picture. You found it in in that junk yard in that condition? Cool.

Cracking bike, no wonder she's made up! What a great daddy you are

Bad news. Her friend took it for a ride and ran it into a wall. The frame is beyond repair. She not a happy bunny.

Her brother and I managed to cobble together an old Nigel Dean road bike into a passable fixie - nice enough, but a track bike it is not. :-(
