London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

Ed, what about Phil Woods kiss off mid flange hubs? Not sure if you can get a fixed rear one, but the front one is really sexy. Would look perfect I reckon. They are MTB SS hubs I think. Martin at BLB has one on the front of his lo-pro. Might be right up your alley... (...or at least worth considering)

my next frame is going to be a classic italian track frame (hopefully, unless I can find an NJS 57cm frame for not a lots of dosh), so was unsure if the high flange with a slighty deep V rims would look right on it.

the kiss-off look nice, but the spacing is 135mm, instead of 120mm (at least as far as I know).

the low-flange should look really nice with the combination of Mavic CXP14 and chrome low flange hubs (wheel in picture is velocity but you get the idea).

Having thought about it, I think I'll go for some Miche Primato low flange hubs, they're reasonably priced and look nice.

random small jobs every now and then (painting people's room, putting fenches up, etc.), also DLA sometime helped (Disabilities Living Allowance).

And time helped too, I'm starting the easier part, before getting to the frame (hopefully by then I'd get a permanent job).

I ordered a pair of these from dotbike. I wonder if I can polish them up?

Dylan · 29th January 2009

nice one Ed.

edscoble · 29th January 2009

ta, still suck thought when you have no idea what going to happen next and rely heavily on mouth to mouth most of the time for small jobs.

Dylan · 29th January 2009

Sometimes a little scary when u have rent to pay and stuff.
I used to live like that but i got sick of the hassle and stress of it.
hope it all sorts itself out soon.

It must be tough never knowing where your next camera lens or NJS frame is coming from...

you can with a machined one, a non-machined one can be used with brakes, but not as effective as a machined rims.

dave409787 · 7th February 2009

Cool cheers, did keith have any left down at tour de ville?

edscoble · 7th February 2009

i think there's only one, but you could always pop down to have a butcher, they do have dozen of other nice rims as well.

dave409787 · 7th February 2009

No luck at either!

Not sure about those Gipieme rims, they look nice tho, and that was cheap. Did you go for them?
