Built this up over the last month. Frameset only took 3 weeks to arrive. Done around 120miles on it so far, takes on the Cornish hills quite well.

Just knocked out 100k with 5394ft of climbing today. Max cadence was 147rpm. Riding fixed in Cornwall is interesting...

Nice bike! As others have said, the colour is really attractive. I used to love riding fixed wheel but I didn't have to do it around Cornwall!

My record was 170rpm and that was in Suffolk, one of the flatter counties. Short hill in Snape. If you only have a front brake you can't really drag it on downhills - the rim heats up very quickly (the smell of hot brake pads is like burning Bakelite) and the tyre may pop off.

What steel is it ?

631 as standard I think?

@colly Upgraded the stays to 725 and the forks from "reynolds R" to 631. I looked into 853 but for my riding it wasn't need/may be too stiff and unforgiving.
