Almost every time I'm lucky enough to not start early I see a blonde girl on a really nicely set up dark blue fixed gear, with really high, swept back bars, a basket, and a black camo bag in it... Always looking very chilled and I'm always a little jealous... Wishing I could be cruising on a comfy, upright fixed instead of grinding away my knees every day on a heavy cargo bike. 😭

Although... I do love my Omnom... It would just be nice to get a break now and then. 😂

I have been trying for years to keep a spare set of front and rear cogs and a belt , and never seem to find the money for something I don't need immediately. Instead I end up waiting until it's fucked, then get pissed off that I have to lose days of work waiting for the new ones to arrive.😫

Looks great built up! How is the weight compared to the Omnom?

I've snapped one belt and had one delaminate in about 12 years of using belts. The one that snapped was during a ridiculously muddy part of the Dorset gravel dash with stones mixed into the mud.
My work cargo bike has been using a belt for over three years too.
The biggest problem for me is getting replacement parts. You can't get them quickly. No London shops ever have any in stock, so you have to order online and wait, which is not good when it's for your work bike.
That said...I love belts and will always choose them if I can use them on a particular bike.

I've been reading all the info on modifying the Sram trigger shifters, so hopefully it'll be pretty straightforward.
I know someone who uses the rohbox with the same shifters and cables and really likes it, so I'm hopeful I'll finally be able to ditch the twist grip and use my 'togs' again! Something which is impossible with the twist shifter.

What was the total cost of the Edsan?

I literally just ordered a black Rohbox a few days ago, plus Yokozuna cables and some Sram XO trigger shifters to modify.
Very interested to hear how the Edsan works out for you. Also to see some better photos to see if it looks as homemade in 'real life'. 😁👍

Sweet!
I realised it's been a good while since Kamaal Williams had anything out too. 🤔

Got mine pre-ordered. 😁
Both tracks released so far sound good!

Last try on this as I could do with it gone. £165...which is a ridiculous bargain! I can even throw in a free behringer preamp incase you need a line output rather than phono.

Dropping to £175

Whatever happened to him?

Hahaha... That third mutation! 😂

Ooooohhhh....I've read your story! Most interesting!

Would ripping it from vinyl not be good enough? 🤔

I just watched Close (2022) yesterday. A fantastic, heartbreaking film about childhood friendships, with great performances by the two lead actors.
Don't watch the trailer though as it kind of gives too much away.

I use THIS ONE. I give it a couple of months to kick in but my knees are definitely worse if I stop using it.

I realised after I sold them that I'd not been taking glucosamine for a while, and I think that might be why my knees were hurting so much.
I just ran out of it about a month ago too and despite using atacs again for ages my knees are now suffering again.
The Hopes actually have quite a bit of float and some lateral movement, so they shouldn't be that bad for my knees compared to Shimano for example.
Hopefully now I'm starting on glucosamine and collagen again I'll get on better with the Hopes than last time.

The bearings felt great, and unlike atacs the cleats are really hardwearing. The quality is well above the Times.

Check the previous page from a couple of years ago.😉

Cheers. I'm going to try my luck with Hope again and take better care of my joints to help with my knee pain. 😁

And that's another pair broken! 3 1/2 months...I'm done! 😡

Ahhh, I seem to remember seeing someone with a frame on the rack, but my memory for names and faces is getting worse in my old age 😩

Bonjour! Out working, as per usual. 😁
Commercial St though. 👍

Gotta say, my Dekerf singlespeed was one of the most comfortable frames I've ridden.
My dad still has his 853 team Dekerf too.
