About 2kg if I remember right.

Just quoting from the other topic. I want to ride somewhere far, was thinking of riding to croydon to see the girlfriend but I probably would die if I did that on my first attempt. The less maintenance the better in my opinion, or less parts to go wrong to replace. Gears piss me off so much. Mine just came today All set up ready to ride tomorrow to work and back. Pre Cursa's are nice frames I must say, very clean! I wasn't expecting much of the fork but it's pretty light on its on too. Can't say how stiff it is yet, will find out tomorrow. Good fixed wheels? I've never bought a wheel set off the shelve! I like to build my own wheels, get the parts I exactly want. Velocity rims are pretty well known in the fixed community. Rims like velocity Deep-V's, Chukkers, B43's are pretty common. I always find non /\ shaped rims on a fixed looked weird. Deeper rims affect how the bike rides too, I don't know the technical side of that stuff though, I just ride haha. Hub wise, flip flop hubs are cheap but still nice. My hubs are £25-£30 each (well I got mine cheaper from a friend who works at evans and got them for me with 35% discount...), there are hub sets out there too with a price range but I've never had a fault with the cheaper standard hubs though, as long as they are sealed bearings they run fine. On my other other fixed I had System-X hubs. Not amazingly light but £25 each for front and back I can't complain. A lot of track hubs out there are pretty much the same, just with different brand logos on them and different in price. You want high flange hubs too (pretty standard for track hubs actually), shorter spokes means stronger wheel. Can't help about computers I'm afraid! Never touched one! Here's some fixed online shops from the top of my head. Links clickable! Velosolo Tokyofixed Brick Lane Bikes Bristol Dropouts All Terrain Cycles (not fixed related but you might be able to pick up some nicely discounted stuff here like tires, tubes, lights, locks, saddles, seatposts and that sort.) And you obviously got the ones like chain reaction and wiggle!

It should be with me tomorrow, then I got the forks to cut and general set up. I won't be in till evening to do that though as I'm at work. But when I get the chance I'll post more photos. Can't wait to get it tomorrow! Oh and also, the photos won't be as nice quality as domans leica dlux-5 he took the photos with! I only have my little iphone 4.

Doman is in another country for 4 months! I can help to some extent, I was in your situation last week deciding on a road bike or fixed (single speed never crossed my mind). Road bikes will be more expensive to build than a fixed though, just cos of the gears and brakes. Unless you manage to find decent parts for a road bike that totals up to less than a decent fixed. You say each ride will be no more than 100 miles, is that often or once in a while? If often I would go with road bike, surely you don't want to keep you legs moving all 100 miles if you had a fixed? I ride fixed but I only do about 45 miles a week. No way I would ride 100 miles in a single ride, unless it was for some charity or something. Remember though there's more maintenance on a road bike and more parts to go wrong that might need to be replaced. I ride fixed cos I like the style of riding as well as because fixed bikes need less maintenance than a road bike.

Twixtor should be used like this. Don't know how well it works with trials though, I have twixtor, just no high fps footage to try it on properly! (This isn't a dig either, I do like both videos )

My trialtech sport + tnn's on heatsink backings was god.

I had on on my old steel forks. Never had a problem with it. People snapping the bolt are installing it wrong. I took apart the wedge that sits inside the steerer tube, greased it (not the outside of the wedge that comes into contact with the inside of the steerer tube), put it all back together and installed it. Never had to tighten it again. Just ordered one this morning for the forks on my new bike too actually.

Maaaan I feel silly now. Riding fixed has made me think the sprocket will rotate backwards too. But yeah I understand now it only needs to resist the freewheel. Silly me.

Is that the only place the sprocket is attached to the spokes? Maybe you want to tie up the opposite side of the sprocket or evenly around the sprocket to even out the forces?

It is now mine, hands off everyone!

Dude did my pm get through??

Duuuude, everything is perfect except I'm not sure on size! I'm 31" inside leg and I don't want my nuts to be touching the top tube with both feet flat on the ground! The other thing is I don't have £550ono right now. Probably only £400 on the 31st if work got my hours right. Don't want to piss you about though, I am interested in it but if someone else buys it before me go ahead and sell it

Wait what? You don't even know what method of payment he used?

You're not helping yourself kid. Go find the receipt instead of posting anything else. Prove everyone wrong. I'm expecting an image of the receipt in your next post.

Now the question is whether or not he sent them the day he said. *Waits for receipt*

I'll give him another 7 days max. Any longer and he's taking the piss. If you paid through paypal (not as a gift) open a dispute against him, paypal will get your moneys back. They almost always side with the buyer when they don't receive the items. EDIT: I can see him lurking in the users reading this thread at the bottom of this page. If he doesn't reply then he's really taking the piss.

I remember talking to a friend about an adjustable frame like this... Didn't seem to work well in my head for real life though. Prove me wrong though.

Get him to take a photo of the receipt of proof of postage and upload it here for all of us to see to prove that he has posted it. The receipt will have your postcode and the date it was posted. You get a receipt even if it's just basic first class, unless you specifically don't want it. Which I don't know why anyone wouldn't take it cos shit like this could happen or it gets lost in the post then he can't make a claim cos he has no prove. Also he can't prove he posted it (until it arrives anyway) and we all think he's a willy for taking so long.

Something I always do is turn off some startup processes/programs. Type msconfig into the search box in the Start menu, hit enter. System configuration will open, under Startup tab, leave only the things that you would use when the laptop starts up. In mine I only have Peerblock, Zonealarm firewall and SRSaudio sandbox. Everything else is unchecked, this way your laptop will only start the things you've selected. This will also decrease the time your laptop takes to load everything at startup, and not loading unused programs into your RAM that's taking up space when you don't even need to use it.

That photo needs to be cropped. So much grey in the left side that doesn't really show much.

My friend is Dan Ko's cousin... I'm gonna go try dig some info for TF!

f**king hell Doman!! That's too much carbon for me! The Dolan sounds perfect though, I wanted an all black bike anyway. BUT, £550 is out of my price range at the moment. What size is it? I'm not getting paid from work till the 31st this month so won't be able to buy anything till then but you're out of the country already (when are you back?). I was either gonna buy a decent ish 2nd hand full build or build my own. But that Dolan I want! There is a chance that work has f**ked up my hours so the pay wouldn't be what I'm expecting so £550 mightstill be out of my range. If that's the case I won't have enough till the end of November, which I guess the bike will be gone by then. Seriously dude I am interested in that Dolan! I just can't afford £550 at the moment! What's the weight of the Dolan too? I'm after a bike to go to work and back and speeding around so I don't want something heavy I have to drag around like my fgfs bike.

I don't get why people want a loud freewheel. If it engages fine then there's nothing wrong with it. Unless you like to hear the freewheel engage, I could feel each click in my legs when I rode so never bothered about how loud my freewheel was.

It runs horrible on PC unless you have a decent and recent gfx card. If I remember correct SLI isn't supported (my GTX260s certainly doesn't run the game well at all), but his single 460 should run it okay. But yeah, do what muel says.
