Get some long rides in thee legs to iron out any mental/kit/nutritional issues. Once you've bagged a couple of 100 milers you'll have nothing to fear as you should have learned you 'ridealldaypace'.

As others have said eat plenty (filled baguettes are ideal!), pace yourself (if in doubt, slow down a bit) and don't forget to stop for coffee!

Most of all do some training so you can Enjoy it!

the 48-16 i'm currently riding is a bit too big for training rides (50-100km).

i'm thinking about putting a 17t on the back.....any recommendations of decent quality/priced sprockets?

i'm more interested in something that is solid and will last rather that shinny bling. i'm guessing buying unbranded off ebay isnt the route i should be going down...?

all I could hear was the sound of my drive train gently purring.

...i f$cking love it when that happens. that's what it's all about...

regular Sat and Sunday rides from Colchester with newcomers welcome here: http://www.vcrevolution.co.uk/main/events.shtml

anywhere in london stock these? i'm bound to buy the wrong size if i by on tinternet...

I quite like the look of the Rapha jersey but it seems a tad pricey. Anything of similar style (and still Merino) elsewhere that might be ore palatable to my wallet?

sorry, item is now SOLD

dibs & pm

well after posting here many months ago i'm finally rolling fixed.

here she is....

i ran in to all the pug nightmares....

• bb was non english so ended up getting it re threaded.
  
• seat post is dodgey. it is a thin one. someone at some point just cut a slit vertically up the post and squeezed it to make it fit. i've not changed it yet so plan on not putting on any weight!
  
• chain ring bolts were an odd size so a right pig to get the cranks off
  
• wheels were 27 1/4 so had to gets some newies
  
• front fork spacing was too narrow so had to squeeze to fit
  
  

all that said, she's a great ride and really comfortable. did a 50 mile blast on her on saturday and barely felt it.

they are Solida cranks. there are pics on this thread...

i'm trying to get some old cranks of an early 80's peugeot without success.

my park ccp-22 appears to be slightly too small a thread. i can just pop in the nut part without screwing it at all which isn't ideal.

any idea what sort/size of tool i might need to get them off?

Dibs both Mavics

2nd Dibs the Surly 17t cog

single/fixie please!

anything half decent quality considered.....

as the title says i'm after a cheap wheel set (700c).

i'm not fussed about funcky deep rims or owt like that, just after a pair that run true and are durable. ideally the rear will have a ff hub.

don't do it!

forgive me for I know not much about wheels.

i'm in the process of converting an old hack into a fg/ss to train on in the winter and am looking to buy some wheels.

i see loads on ebay etc for £60-90 per pair. what is the quality of wheels like this? i'll be using them for more than pottering around town so want something that will last. will they be durable if out riding 150-250 miles per week training?

if not, what would be a good but reasonably priced option?

dibs then pm's please.

sh$ttles. first issue i've run into - the gap between the front forks is 96mm so my plan of buying a couple of cheap 700c wheels may not happen!

sounds like this is common on old french bikes according to sheldon : http://www.sheldonbrown.com/frame-spacing.html
