Why not post a picture of your Fixed/Singlespeed bike

Lucky beggar!

Hopefully it'll be less of a procession than recent races... It certainly looks like a good circuit from what I've seen, so fingers crossed!

I'm sat in race control at present, and it does indeed look amazing. Need to work out filming my lap I reckon.

I wish I could say it was a really expensive bit of kit but I cant lol
It's a Viking Urban,i got it cheap for the intention of using it for fitness rides.

Keep both brakes until you are confident that you can stop going downhill.
Other than that, don't stop pedalling!

Sort out the bar angle!

Sort out the bar angle!

I think that just refers to bars tilted up whilst you could probably just flip the stem over to acheive the same height & make it look more 'normal'.

What I mean is, the bars are rotated up at a bizarre angle, probably to make the hoods more rideable having been fitted in a strange location along the curve. Rather than rectify the mistake properly, a lazy mans method has been employed which renders the reach to the drops absurdly long and the wrist angle can not be comfortable. The bar angle should be less dramatic and the hood's slid up the bar a bit. This will involve removing the bar tape and re-taping.

This is my SS

Frame is 58cm Reynolds 531 and it was originally built by Tom Bomwhich of Coventry.

I've gone off SS I think, I've hardly ridden the above bike in the last 6 months.

I changed the charge spoon saddle for a Team Pro Brooks saddle and rose it a bit too. I think it looks better.

im going to fit a shorter stem and will also move the levers back,i may even replace the bars....

This was my ebay bargain the other week, barely 50 miles on it and in mint condition. I felt (no pun intended) I'd stolen it when I handed over the winning bid of a mere £150

Thats the exact opposite of a Mullet... Business at the back, party at the front
