Fixed Gear
Monster Traps
Since the first time i saw these foot straps i’ve wanted some. My delivery arrived today, a pair of awesome black/grey Monster Traps.
There’s so many different types/brands of foot straps available to buy out there and picking one you like is a difficult task in itself.
New Wheel
After destroying my Charge Dish wheel in a fit of rage in a Preston Docklands carpark on a rainy, wet, cold evening due to inner-tube valve failure. I had to get a new rear wheel. It took a lot of decision because there’s so many awesome combinations and so much price fluctuation. I finally decided to settle on a Velocity B43.

So it’s been ages since i blogged about my bike. Maybe that’s because i’ve been busy riding it instead of just keeping on buying things for it :D
Reborn!
I finally got the fixed gear project ‘finished’. I use the word finished lightly because this bike will never, ever be ‘finished’. At the moment, it is exactly how i envisaged it at the start of this project. So in my opinion it is now in a state of finished! :)
