I was hoping to spend a bit less than that...

I'm thinking of going clipless for the first time, either ATAC or Shimano, because my commute is about to go from 4 miles a day to closer to 20. Does anyone have any reccomendations for decent pedals and shoes? Both must be cheap(ish) because I'm fairly skint and the shoes must be non-leather because I'm a fussy vegan. Also, any solid advice as to which system to try would be great, I ride fixed with a brake but mostly use my legs to slow down (cue more conflicting opinions...)

U crazy?

I fitted a front brake to my formerly brakeless Fuji a few weeks ago and I've been enjoying riding it much more. I rarely use the brake at all, still preferring to use my legs to slow down 90% of the time, but I feel that I can ride faster because I know I can stop faster, I don't have to worry about cars pulling out of junctions unexpectededly as much etc.

Looks fairly fast.

^^ you're quite right! My point stands though. I'm not saying its not super bitching or anything, I just wouldn't spend anywhere near that money on a rat-to-be myself.

because shut up is why.

I sort of agree, I don't see the point in having expensive bikes to just sit in a garage and look nice, but I can't help but feel that an incredibly expensive track bike like that wouldn't neccesarily do the job of an everyday beater/get around the place type deal as a bike that cost a fraction of the price. Looks like fun though.

This is awful....

^^ this confused me, the thing wrapped around the headtube looks like the paving behind the bike to me....

I think it's obvious what's missing. A "cunt" sticker.

I like the elegant electrical tape censoring of the cunt sticker.

Banging!

Any possibility of a "gash" decal in a similar vein to the "cunt" design but I wouldn't be embarrassed to ride my bike to work..

Please... Yes.

£21 for a pair. Admittedly not as cheap as those eBay hong kong specials but my front femto has lasted me significantly longer than the 2 eBay ones I had before.

They're actually pretty good, cheap as shit, well made, easy to take on and off and brighter than you might think.

How is this turned from "oh a cheap new bike, that'll be fun" to "MINE IS WAY MORE EXPENSIVE THAN ANYONE ELSE'S BECAUSE I CHOSE EVERY SINGLE OPTIONAL EXTRA, FUCK, BETTER BUY SOME NEW FORKS AND A THOMSON SEATPOST. FUCK BETTER HAVE ENOUGH LEFT OVER FOR A MATCHING STEM"?

Has my payment not gone through? I sent it yesterday at about 5pm...

So is anyone up for a mielec group ride in a couple of months when everyone has got/built their frames?

I sent the payment, nobody tell my girlfriend!

Shit, looks like I'll need a new seatpost as well. This is turning out to be more expensive than I'd first thought, ha ha.

31.6 :)

Cheers!
