Why not post a picture of your Fixed/Singlespeed bike

Thanks to help from his grandparents one of these will be arriving at Christmas for my youngest to go track racing on:

I do wonder if it's not a little bit ... dull-looking

That is super smart.
His grandparents have impeccable taste

Looks ace!

Yep, size M/52cm. Haven't measured it for fit yet but it seems about right for me.

I'm 5' 9" with short legs; that looks about right for me...

Finally a bike I can relate to - classic clean lines, functional and workmanlike thinks DC

He's already tried the Avanti, albeit whilst having to wear a blindfold - we needed to make sure he could fit on a Small size as there wasn't anything below this. Turns out the 400mm seatpost supplied is far too big so he had a second blindfold go on a (lighter) 350mm seatpost. *

It's now hidden away until Christmas


* try getting a blindfolded 12 year-old boy into a room and onto a bike without a) him knowing it was a bike and b) realising what we were up to. Myself and his older brother failed dismally

I don't like it
No no,I love the bike obviously.
I just don't like the fact that the sun is shining where you are !!!!

Seriously though,what a beautiful machine and good job sir

 

[Andrew1971]

She look's awesome well done good job done
But new paint on a wooden log better not be scratched now

Ha! The sun is out but it's bloody cold. Need to fit some mudguards before the sun changes its mind...

Cheers! It's a lovely ride. Only thing I don't like is that the paint is very fragile - already has a few chips (really must fit a chainstay protector). But then what did I expect for £80? Ho hum.

Ouch,yeah chainstay protector essential.
Just a padded velcro for a few quid would suffice as you know.
Can you do anything with the chips ?
Seems a shame.
