C'mon folks, save me from myself! I am finding myself drawn toward the Cooper T200 Reims like a Talibani to a gelignite vest. And they have the large in stock.....

Apologies. I have never got why people who ride bikes similar to this like to have the brake on the top of the bars rather than mounted on the front of the drops so that you can, you know, stop the bike properly and stuff.
Weird.0 -
Actually I agree with you there, it's the one feature of the bike that I really don't like. Makes the lines very nice though.FCN 5 belt driven fixie for city bits

Possibly. Someone did query the brand.
"Cooper?
Yeah, as in Mini. BMW seem to make bikes occasionally.
Oh, it's a car bike!"

The frame looks like an exact match for the Barron fixie I use daily - Originally the Barron was 5 speed witha 57T chainring.
To be honest, I would go with a secondhand classic racer....incidentally, this is for sale at half the price of the Cooper:

I know what you mean; it's a nice looking bike. But at that price point, the Geneis Croix de Fer is just hubba hubba. IMHOFCN 2-4.

The CdF riders I know all say that it's heavy, slow and can't stop at all. Very pretty though.0 -

Gah. On the verge of nearly starting to think about considering the possibilities of ordering one.Sometimes parts break. Sometimes you crash. Sometimes it’s your fault.0
