New project time. I've spent the last week sorting out our fleet of hire bikes at work. Had a grand old time loading several hundred heavy bikes with locks out of one storage unit, into a van and then in to another storage unit. I set aside this one which is too old and battered to go out to a customer. The plan is to strip it, transfer any decent parts to another hire bike, give this a paint job and build the frame up with all of the parts from my Pompino, pictured below. That'll include the disc fork. I like the Pompino as a fat tyred fixed gear but I'd like something that takes even bigger tyres (the new frame has loads of clearance) and has a bigger main triangle so that I can just use my frame bag on days when I don't need to take a change of clothes/ lunch with me. At the moment I'm using my Carradice every day which means I just fill it with all sorts of crap that I don't actually need. To be honest, I also just like having a project and fucking around with bikes. In theory it should only cost me the ~£25 I've spent on paint.
