Hello,
I've got fucking loads of money right now. Seriously, loads. I'm going to put together a fixie for my commute to the City. It needs to be light because there's a 200m stretch of 1% gradient, and it needs to be stylish because I'm having the mother of mid-life crises, despite being 22.
Here's my proposed spec:
Frame - customer ordered 953 steel with titanium dropouts and carbon wrapped headtube.
Wheels - new limited edition carbon aerospoke with titanium axles and hardware.
Handlebars - Nitto are doing a special one-off contract for me, producing some carbon monocoque cut-down moustache bars, with Kangaroo leather tape, and limited edition 40yr old Bowmore whisky corks as bar ends.
Blah, blah, blah.
What do you hipsters reckon? Will I need to wrap inner tubes round the frame for protection blah blah blah.
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Blah blah blah blah responsive blah blah nimble blah blah sweet blah blah retro powdercoating blah blah NJS blah blah blah what tyres blah blah blah gear ratio blah blah blah...
