London Fixed-gear and Single-speed SJS Cycles

well, is it · 29th November 2009

Hmm. Really not a fan. They should have kept at the whole alloy malarky. Having seen this close-up, the details are just all wrong. Looks cheap.

They should have just done the s-works frameset in A1 tubing and left it at that.

I agree with you veLLo on the forks, looks like it's not been polished enough. A few dodgy little details but it's good for £500. I'd still buy the Bianchi

and short people can just wait or buy a kids bike or whatever

Just picked mine up, really pleased with it, rides well looks good, not sure about the brake levers and will have to get used to the saddle, my usual is a flite so feels a bit different.

If you find the Flite to be more comfortable, I do recommend you to put that on your bike.

ExTra - Have you considered the Kona Paddy 2009 instead? These are on sale everywhere and the straight fork looks better and the ride is fab. I'm 5"4 and ride a 49cm which is a perfect fit. I originally tried the 49cm langster which was too small (52cm was better). We shorties are stuck with compact geometry but imho the kona looks less 'compact' than the specialized in the smaller sizes.
