My winter fixed Dunelt is ready

[biggs682]

Been enjoying the single speed simplicity on this one for last few weeks , done a couple of 50 mile rides .

Might swap over to the R.E.W Reynolds in the new year

This is back out again pounding the roads as my part of my 2021 winter bike team

So how many machines does your winter bike team consist of?

Just the one.

Just the one.

Mr Biggs doesn't do bikes in just ones. Not that I can talk when it comes to my hacks.....

That's a good question , this one will get most of the use , then there is a fixed Sid Mottram https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/sid-mottram.253922/ , Pollard single speed https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/the-pollard-has-arrived.132366/ , Marin Mtb and then a couple of others ..... So not too many

I have three, the winter bike, the genesis pictured up thread, an Eastway, my summer geared bike, and a spare, a Verenti Kilmeston

Mine are hacks and genuine used bikes not pampered pristine ones .

They all wear patina with pride .

Once I can I want to sell a few and get down to a manageable number but who knows when that will be.

None of mine are pristine, they are looked after and kept clean, but all bear the scars of hard use.

I must admit to being off the fixed for a few months. I need to build a new front wheel for it, but might use a spare just to get out on it for a spin.

I've lived here since '92 and until I retired a few years back commuted to work almost every day. Consequently I've ridden the bike ways thousands of times. Since I can't change them, I rotate through a bunch of bikes depending on the weather. Right now I have a Brompton, a minivelo, and my 93 Bianchi mtn bike for dry days and my Surly Steamroller and my Cannondale mtn bike, both with studs for ice and snow.

Right just dragged this off the garage wall ready for some wet / winter use

 

[biggs682]

A total of 11 miles has been completed so far this week , will be out doing a longer ride over the weekend

 

[biggs682]

A further 23 miles this morning reminded me how great riding a 27" wheeled fixed bike is

Misread your post at first . 27 inch gear that’s going to be Very Spinny .
