Only grassing him up because he then came whizzing past me on his super Aero wheels.

Put a disc brake on the fixie tho it's well worth it. If you want something a bit cheaper than the Kenesis then have a look at these...

    Amber, or burnt amber?
    What do you mean you think 64cm is a big frame?

    Granted, that sort of pace probably looked languid, but that's just because I run a man's gear, rather than spinning away in a 51x18 granny cog

    Oui, plus its on the back so it's nice and aero!

    It didn't help thats its warm and had a tail wind but 51x18 is seriously girly. I give it two days before I order new gearing :(

    Think 49x17 might be a winner.
