Good choice! I have just about worn out my Pearson Touche which is aluminium, I have been down to see Pearsons and have specced a steel framed fixed [yes I know yours is freewheel but never say never as riding fixed makes you smile], can't wait to get my new steed in time for the winter months.I shall soon be the proud owner of a Pearson Touche
Very pleased you avoided Fixed Gear Frenzy, they are to be avoided at all costs, worst company I have ever dealt with.
Enjoy your new bike.

The only other bike I really considered as this thread was the charge plug, but I just couldn't get past the black paint on the 2014 model...quite a heavy beast too at 12kg, the touché appears rather lighter
There is a 2013 pale blue plug on fleabay but I think the touché is a much better bike which will go beautifully with the pave and rest of the stable
I popped into pearsons earlier to enquire on cost to convert to bullhorns and normal brakes, seem quite a lot so will see how I get on with drops first, possibly with cross brake levers (I have some spares lurking somewhere)!
Yes, FGF seem to get awful feedback...!

Good choice. My Wills Wheels Fixed is exactly the same frame as the Touche, but in blood red ! (needs to be with me !)

Do you have drops? I am thinking a switch to bullhorns is in order
It needs to look different to the rest of the stable (other than the lack of dangly bit at the back)!Reckon it'll go well with this?

Colour co-ordination is good - I'm red and black like the bike.
Yes I'm on drops - Ritchey Pro Stem and a Ritchey WCS bars - very very light, but very very strong - survived my recent crash ! Keep it 'traditional'. I am not a fan of bull horns. Got Shimano R400 levers and BR550 callipers on mine, both ends (two brakes). They do stop me very quickly.
