nice bike, how long will that chain stay white?

what are you doing with the langster?

 

[Farky]

Ha ha, going by todays weather, not long! Going to keep the langster as I enjoy the 69 gear inches for hills but it was just not enough for the flats; hence the new bike.

Very bling

I do like that, right up my street,

First commute on it today and I loved it. Felt stiffer than the Langster, seemed easier to maintain speed and although I was apprehensive about the 'bullhorns', I really like them. Before I got the bike, I bought some new drops with new leavers and had them taped, I don't think I'll be putting them on...I just need to remember where the lever is!!

So far, highly reccommended!

why has the rear wheel got cogs both sides ?

why has the rear wheel got cogs both sides ?

i assume one side has a freewheel and the other is fixed

 

[smokeysmoo]

FYI, they seem to have forgotten to fit a back brake, I'd ring the shop first thing tomorrow

As said, one fixed and one freewheel but since the photo, I changed the fixed from an 18 to a 17 and removed the freewheel sprocket.
