this is my winter fixed, i built the frame four years ago on a dave yates frame building course. it originaly had a carbon fork but i wanted a straight steel one and i built this fork a year or so back. since being on dave´s course i´ve built eighteen frames, three of which being fixed with one of them being for the mtb xc world champion from 2011 jose hermida.

this is built up with king headst, ritchey wcs stem, procraft bars, ritchey wcs post, brooks pro saddle, trp long reach brakes, dt rims, paul rear hub, front hub is from schmidt/son with light from the same, campa record brake levers, chorus chainset running gearing of 44 - 18 and as always speedplay pedals.



this is a new good weather frame for me in oversize columbus tubing which i have´nt finished building up. has a carbon ritchey fork with wheels being on dt rims, front hub a mavic 571 and the rear being from paul comps. chainset is sram red, red brakes and force levers having had the inners removed. cockpit is still undecided,headset is a pink acros, seatpost is an old shannon and a team issue san marco regal. i´ll bung it up when completed.

Those are very nice.

[LindaG]

Nice!

If that's your shed - respect.

Looks like Spa Cycles!

[savine]

Nah that ain't my shed it's just the workshop I use, would be a nice to have such a space as a shed. It's in a village near Stuttgart.....a fair trot away from Spa Cycles.

[IanDG]

I'd die for a shed/workshop like that - but it wouldn't be much use to me then

[DrMekon]

Very nice. Love the colour.

[Canardly]

Yes nicely done.

Yet another set of 'bars for the Bob Jackson - Nitto Noodles on a Technomic Deluxe stem this time, with a view to some longer rides on it this season.   One of my objectives is a 200 on fixed, which I've never done.

this n the other blue bob jackson are the dogs.....loving the combination of brooks n nitto. my only problem is withe beer can, would of gone better with a can a tennants super but hay thats only a minor quibble.

Wow! Looks great.

Chains a bit tight.

My new Trek 4th District straight after driving it home from Kendal this afternoon



It even comes with a split in the seat stay (black bit) so I could convert to belt drive later if wanted

Phwoooar. What a lovely pair of Steamrollers!

[Oaky]

déja vu, anyone?



No, it's not LEE's, it's my new fixed, a 52cm Genesis Day 01 disc.  (actually it's notmy new fixed, yet - I'm still waiting for my sprocket to arrive, so in the mean time, I've built it up with the freewheel that came with my other fixed bike since that has the right number of teeth to get the chain length right).

[LEE]

Looks lovely (well what did you expect me to say?)

You won't regret it.  I love mine.  It feels reassuringly solid and, at least in my opinion, far from the heavy lump I may have been led to believe it was going to be.

Note.  I fitted my preferred gear ratios (68" or thereabouts, depending on tyres choice) as the Cyclo-Cross ratio it comes with was too low (but I knew that before I bought it).

Have fun.  Brakes take a while to bed in but a few hard braking sessions on long downhills have got them working nicely.

[interzen]

Pfft. All these lightweight-looking builds - here's my singlespeed Genesis Fortitude with full bikepacking kit¹. Exact weight unknown, but I can lift the bike, which is a good thing 



It handles really well, even fully loaded.

Coming soon, the double-fixed trailmonster (my Surly 1x1 with two-speed fixed rather than Alfine-11) - still waiting for some bits to arrive, though.

¹ - This is more or less the same setup I'll use when I do the Tour Divide next year² (all being well) although the gear ratio may change (currently 32/17)
² - Sadly, logistics prevented me from doing it this year.

Yep - me too.  I'm installing an approx 69" gear (42x16 on 25c tyres).  Just waiting for my nice shiny Andel sprocket to be delivered.

I see luggage...is there a bike under there?

What front rack is that?  I was looking at a Blackburn one.  Interested to hear views.

I assume you're trading gears for reliability on the Tour Divide.
