Nice retro MTB the copper colour is timeless:)
I just don't understand this fixie craze, track bikes should stay in the velodrome;)

abcdggs · 05-01-2011 10:15PM

I was the same about the fixie craze up until i got one, i love it now

Tonyandthewhale · 05-01-2011 11:19PM

+1 Had a fixie for a bit and quite frankly got very bored of it.
The copper colour is very cool looking.

I've never had a fixed-gear bike, but I would have thought a single-speed would have most of the advantages of a fixed-gear with fewer downsides.

What downsides? Put pegs for your feet and all the downsides are sorted.

You're clearly too old and bereft of Zen to understand.

I bet you don't even own any Apple products.

cramcycles dreams came true. Another box is now in my hall. Unfortunately my neighbour signed for it.

the copper bike - i bought it originally in 1992 from sean duff cycles. Lots of sentimental value.

Pry not worth mentioning it as they probably have it written off already.

Just saying, not suggesting anything :eek:

I did write apps for the iPhone for a year or so, but I think I'm too old for that too.

I can't speak from experience, so I'll of course defer to those of you who have experience of fixies, but this rather offputting image from Sheldon Brown of what can happen if you lose concentration while performing maintenance on a fixie made a big impression on me years ago.

EDIT: Not an image for the squeamish, I should emphasise.

Super Freak · 08-01-2011 06:17PM

And now for something completely different.

This one has been a long time coming and is a major milestone for me. I was 13St 7lb when I restarted cycling 18 months ago and now after a lot of work I'm down to this.

It may not be an image of beauty for everyone but it is for me

Plus I turn 40 years old before the end of this month......Go Me !!!

my wife looked at these, but it was too expensive in the end. she ended up with a giant avail 2.

No image and can't find one on the net but did anyone see the Boardman elite in procycling this month?

Sexy

No, it was AiR 9.4

Captain Havoc · 12-01-2011 11:01PM

I know what I've just done, it's like at work when a cute looking woman walks past and you say to your colleague, "did you see that wan that walked past?" and he's like "no" and you're like "she was savage".

Something like that! Now I'm frantically trying any combination of terms in google to find it...

Dangerous Dave · 13-01-2011 10:37AM

this one ???
(its a 9.8 but Im sure that just means a higher spec'd bike)
