Aha, that's not what I meant. I just googled 'old men fixed gear' though, to try and reply with a gif, but there was a disappointing lack of results :(

EDIT: Did just find this though!

I think a lot of the younger people, myself included, simply just don't know much of the city!

That's a pretty good clue. Race is on then.

Heard you'd put a deposit down on this, so glad someone will actually be riding it after Rikki flaked!

Fair play Sparks, rep to you. Did you do it fixed?

Cool, cool. I'm working 10-1 at Appleyard, so might drop by later to have a gander.

Evidence of an almighty stock delivery on Dandy social media, anything super nice Rikki?

No probs. Seatpost not the right size?

Safe enough to be seen but not safe enough for foot retention!

Singlespeed though surely - rear brake and what not.

I've still got my front brake, and a silver 27.2 layback seatpost?

at the forum..

I think he/she built that from the reflectors up. Too orange for anyone's liking.

Bald/very short haired dude smashing it down Magdalen street this afternoon, looked like a silver alu track bike with black bits.

Ok cool, well I've put in a word at work. It's a pretty recognisable bike anyway, it was more for proof than anything.

Shit, that's lame. I've definitely seen that around. If you've got pics it'd help - we can put them up in work in case someone tries to sell it on?

spenceey, I'm back in Norwich now, are you still interested in my front brake?

I've got a road bike, but I'd still probably do it fixed with sjc, again, depends on the day.

I don't know precisely, and I can't check until tomorrow as I'm not currently in Norwich, but I'll get back to you. Think it should be fine though.

I've got a front brake going spare if you want it spenceey - it's deep drop, and silver - some old shimano thing.

Not strictly speaking an upgrade, or anything new bike-wise, but this vid of Donny's speed attempt is cool if people haven't seen it:

Good work dude. How does the Bob ride?

I did it easy running 80 inches, so you can do it for sure!

Old - St Giles On The Hill's side gate/Top of Cow Hill

New - Easy to identify, harder to get to (ratio depending!)

Cool. I finish work at 6, will bring them over on my way home - do you wanna PM me details and things?

they look alright so how much less than a tenner ha ha?

How about ten - no more, no less - and I'll come deliver them?

They have been cut down, but aren't super narrow - they fit my shoulder width comfortably, but I have weird hyper-extending elbows, so naturally hold bars a little closer together than some people.
