I do 50km round trip each day on a number of different bikes. Two meaningful hills (nothing that would bother you with gears but out of the saddle on a 48x17 fixie for a couple of minutes each). Each 25km leg takes about 55min and then I sweat and smell all the way to London on the train. Lovely. Usually wear just a regular short sleeved jersey with Endura all-weather jacket and trousers. A bit warm even in the coldest conditions, but better than freezing my nuts off.

Could've tried Beeline. Jason and his team there really know their stuff. Top of Cowley Rd near the roundabout at MCS. Best bike shop in Oxford by far (and I've tried them all I reckon).

I just ordered, specc'd and paid a deposit on a 2010 Pista. The white one, because the "sea green" looks like post-vindaloo poo. I'm new to fixed, though an experienced roadie. I'm starting to feel I may have made a mistake in specc'ing 170mm cranks.

Condor were great with set-up and allowing me to spec the bike; the geometry and set-up are very similar to my road bikes. Is this a good thing? Will I have toe overlap? Will I crash as a result?

I'm going to ride the Pista on a 50km/day commute which is fairly fast and flat. Can anyone advise whether I should call Condor and get some 165mm cranks instead? There's still plenty of time in their interminable build process...
