used to love: the ride from putney to hackney/ hackney to putney in the early hours my god its so nice when the streets are empty.
now love: trying to ride up/ down headington hill without looking like a retard.
i like 46x17 although now as i have got stronger from riding more i could go higher but i can't really see the point. plus you get 17 skid patches.
if you go much higher than that you'll be cursing riding home tired after a days graft into a cunting headwind.
i think i need a campag chorus double chainset bb as it's 111 so only 2mm further out, i'm running goldtec hubs so should be o.k
it's the same tool as the miche which i already have.
i just need to find one in london tomorrow.
ebay ebay ebay. You can still get cheap reynolds 531 steel road frames for under £50. Track frames, that's a different matter, but search for holdsworth/dawes/raleigh... should find some stuff. hope this helps.
its only for the front wheel mind... Still a good price. This is my week's living budget though. I want it but... I also kind of want to eat next week?
LSE is the only university in London on the tour, we'll be there on Tuesday 10am - 4pm.
