Hey all

Still windy out there!??!

OK - Q for you. I've got a Surley Cross-Check set up as my fixie, which I enjoy riding, but where I live the riding is limited unless I want knackered knees!

Im thinking of getting some gears etc on that to get more winter use from it (after seeing my 'best' bike covered in cr@p on Sunday!)

or

Get another bike, second hand whatever with gears on etc for Winter Sunday club runs

Thoughts ? :?

    Fixies are very in. Flog that one and buy a cheap road bike for winter would be my advice.

    Oh actually - i've just googled it - looks like that frame can run gears anyway - so if you like the bike - convert it rather than flog it and buy new.

    thats the fella! X-check can be ready to go..

    Its a Q of keeping the fixie as I do enjoy riding it as one, but has it limitations, or having yet another bike for winter longer club runs.. :?
