WMMST, nothing quite like spanking about in the sunshine at lunchtime and a 2nd gear blind crest clutch up to make you feel like a total god

Bought em in the Hargroves sale £200off
Road tested them this morning and they did not dissapoint! The carbon rim does a good job of damping out road buzz. Also the lack of any spoke, bearing or any extraneous noises is very nice if somewhat surprising. Surprising what noises you get used too. _________________

Yep, bought myself an old fixie last week, like you said, it's amazing what you get used to, the noise difference from having no dérailleur and no extra spinny bits is weird!
£200 off? Bargainous!  _________________ It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes. - Douglas Adams.

Having an early lunch somewhere that does even cheaper (for that read lesser quality) food than Ryckers. _________________ "My own opinion is enough for me, and I claim the right to have it defended against any consensus, any majority, anywhere, anyplace, anytime.

WWMST: 150 stress-bustingly fast, dry, and sunny miles, taking in my favourite bits of East Sussex & Kent, fish and chip lunch at Rye, and a new pair of winter gloves for a bargainous £40.
oh, and a laugh at the poor chap in Groombridge's, who overheard me on the phone to Biggus as he was mistaking the bootcamp carparking point for a dogging exercise...  _________________ An open mouth is a straight line to the mind.
