You can buy it from me for £325 you get a free bike:)

No, the buyer was unable to complete the sale, so its still with me.

did this sell?

No, Im still trying to find it a new home!

Another advocate of these! They are not boutique wheels, rudimentary bearings, and as mentioned not the lightest but excellent vfm. Still holding up well to the shitty roads here in Glasgow. I peeled the stickers off too. The are pretty well built, still true/round after six months.

Just raise the front end up with a longer stem (vertically) and risers (4 inch risers if needed)? Why do you long to move to 2 x 700s?

Or just sell it so it can fulfill a purpose and buy something nicer/suited for the same money?

Yeah your right a taller stem is the way to go.

I already have a dedicated fixed gear bike. I bought this for TTing but as I say its not happening. I did try to sell it I was asking £325.00 which I thought was a bargain but no one was interested.

Hence trying to get the use of it as a fixed/ss toy!

The thinking behind the 700c wheels was to gain a bit more height. This is somewhat negated by the toe overlap/slack handling issues this will bring about.

Back to the drawing board. I think I will try it with a riser bar fixed/ss rear 700c. With the funny wheel at the front and see how it goes. Cheers for the feedback:)

Do you think a straight fork would
be better or worse than a raked fork in terms of toe over-lap, slackness in handling etc?

What size is it equivalent to?

About a 55cm.

i thought this was going to be about jeezus

Im beyond redemption:)

Put it in the relevant gear and don't touch the shifters.

Please, step away from the bike.

...actually, do what you want, but it looks rather nice as it is!

Is that a full Chorus groupset?

I know what your saying about touching it but I planned to keep the bits to revert back to its current state.

Yeah its a Chorus groupset. The bike has done very little miles its just not working for me as a TT bike.

So, the 700c wheels is it possible? Has anyone on here done similar?

I'm looking for some feedback from folk who know better than me!
I have a low profile bike that I would like to convert to ss/fixed.
The plan was to use it for tt-ing but for various reasons, thats not happening.

I did try to sell it but now I've decided I will get the use of it by making the position a bit more upright. Riser bars, short stem etc.

Its got a 650c front wheel. I wondered if I can swap the forks to let me use x2 700c wheels. Is it possible to do this, and is it advised or will this mess with the geometry?

Cheers!

Yeah, the first Stone Roses album is easily one of the strongest debut albums of all time.

Agree, but they did hee haw to back it up. To be fair anything that followedfailed in comparison.

The best live gig Ive been to was Paul Weller touring with his first self titled album it was memorable! Wild Wood was almost as good then it all went south.

Asterloza was tested about a month ago, out of competition.

I just read this. Awesome it is.

True, I read it recently as well. I had no clue Armstrong had been such a wee rascal to Fillipo Simeoni, who has been basically ostracized by the pro peleton since spitting in the soup with Dr Mengele.

I see Asterloza has tested positive. I doubt he will be the last from this year.:(

certuntly:)

Im looking forward to Sean Kelly overusing the word 'certuntly' every few minutes, on every peice of coverage for the next 3 weeks its like some form of hybrid tourettes, that never gets tired.

Also, I've decided to let the hate go regarding old bum face Evans, his style in the Dauphine Libere has me now supporting him. Hes got to win it this year Vive le convict!

Im not jealous at all:)

Nice pair though.:)

How much do you want to spend?
