Shiny and new! Excited!

So, I've taken the plunge, blown the budget and this is the result: the Worx SR01.

Loving how light and responsive it is compared to the previous monster. And I've even had my first successful outing clipping in. (I'm sure there are plenty of falls waiting to happen, but for the first ride to go well has pleased me no end.)

Happy days.

You'll need to get rid of the half link chain pretty soon....they lengthen really quickly. I'd lose the rear brake as well, it spoils the lines of a beautiful bike. Very nice indeed.

Thanks. And good to know about the chain. I'll keep an eye on that.

Keep the rear brake and ditch the chain.

Lovely! Keep the rear brake and the freewheel.

Thanks guys.
I'm not going to do anything just yet - especially with regards to the rear brake: I'm learning how to ride clipless first and fixed is stage 2.
In the meantime, just racking up the miles so much more easily than on the previous bike. Why didn't I do this before??

Edit: that should have been racking up the miles, not raking... Not sure what that would suggest about my riding...

Very nice mate.......never having had any experience of Fixies I don't understand why you should ditch the chain but all I can is enjoy

Lovely looking bike-some chain tensioners would be good as chain looks a tads slack.
