Go to Evans in Kingston and ask for Max. He's the daddy in the scene, the Mr Fixies of the cycling retail trade.

soperRiva · 4 Hours Ago

2010, but I've done a degree before.
Congratulations man thats excellent!
I'm going to Nottingham Med. Unconditional- as I have all my results.
Now get off this site, and get your work done for those exams.

Lolo · 3 Hours Ago

But Max, I'm sending customers your way!

maxcrowe · 3 Hours Ago

I actually really like talking to customers about the singlespeeds (yes thats how they are sold)

I'm looking forward to my first sale of a fixed gear bike.

kisu_shimo · 3 Hours Ago

Max, I should think you're a very nice shop man (i don't know what to call it) to deal with.

I was hoping for just passing things over the counter for me.... *sigh*

This is my favourite Cinelli Mashy washy so far:

Can't remember if I've posted it already or not.

east end images · 2 Hours Ago

At least it's an effort

maxcrowe · 2 Hours Ago

I think it's really good. I'd happily ride it if it didn't look like a BMX under me.

i posted that a few months ago too. i'm not a fan of the cinelli mash either but i like that one too.

Sam Doman · 1 Hour Ago

It's definitely one of the better ones, but the pedals and straps look completely out of place in my opinion.

maxcrowe · 18 Minutes Ago

I think the straps are a really nice touch. In the same way that one of those guys in Mash has brown leather bartape on an otherwise colourless modern track bike. I can never find a photo though[t].

Sam Doman · 9 Minutes Ago

I know where you're coming from, and I'd normally agree that it adds character. However, this build seems to be an exception to that rule, for me.

maxcrowe · 8 Minutes Ago

This is a really weird feeling I'm getting... I'm feeling like... I... want that bike??!
