Hiya all,
So a while back I got this frame and forks off eBay for £155:
However, I cannot tell you what make it is because the previous paint job was really thick and covered up the number on the BB shell.
So tomorrow morning, I'll be sending this frame off to Armourtex.
Also, I have to do this fairly cheaply with stuff I find around the house but any ideas on cheap but nice components would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you to all of those who turned up! (All 7 of you!) I hope everyone had a good time and enjoyed the cycle with special mentions to Arthur, Eddie and Toby who came in the top 3 respectively... and Wardy who got the DFL prize. Prizes were: a pair of Halo rims, an Altura jersey, some Parktools and a crate of beer. Photos of the event will be up soon hopefully.
I hope to see some more people at our next Alley Cat at the end of the summer; bigger and better than this one!
Also feedback and ideas for future events would be greatly appreciated.

I'm afraid there's no real theme; it's just a series of checkpoints however some will be manned and will require you to complete a small challenge.
Well, I was planning on starting it in the Bike Ambulance/Park Street Cycle Park/Maypole area. A prize from the Maypole would be great - I'll ask about it.
Well at the moment it'll be a Le Mans start but we're trying to think of something more inventive/exciting.
Well, we've got one prize already, which you can see on the Facebook page, which is a black and white Altura cycling jersey.

Hey all!
First off, I'm knew to the Lfgss forum but I've been riding a fixed gear bike in Cambridge for around 2 years now.
A couple of friends and I have decided to organize an alley cat race. There are about 10 checkpoints in and around Cambridge in a 12-15 mile circuit depending on your routes.
So here at the details:
There is no entrance fee
Anyone/any bike (but preferably fixed/single speed) can compete
Start/Finish at Bike Ambulance
Arrive at 7pm for a 7:30 start on Wednesday 11th July
Bring a bag of some sort and a lock
Here's a facebook page that we've created for the events, and hopefully future events: http://www.facebook.com/CambridgeFixedGear
Also, prizes up for grabs for the best 3!Hope to see some of you there!
