Paint jobs #2



Another custom paint job, this time from London Fixed Gear & Single-Speed. White with black decals? Airbrushing?

Paint jobs #1



Not mine but tri bike on the interwebs in its original paint. I'm starting to lean towards ultra-glossy white ...

First order from Velosolo



Velosolo is a neat online store that also hocks a few things on eBay. FSA Vero crankset (48T 1/8" 165mm) and matching Un40 bottom bracket.

Front wheel

Back to eBay. Won a cheap front (and rear convertible) Trispoke on my second attempt. My first try at getting fancy wheels amounted to nothing, the Spinergy Rev-X wheels (below) went for a song, but the seller had zero feedback and he never replied to emails or phone calls. Oh well, probably a good thing ... the Rev-Xs have a propensity to shatter apparently. At least I have now got a nice front Trispoke. Probably match it with a black Velocity Deep V (with spacers and wider axle.

The P2

Ok, so on a whim in Brisbane I got this Cervelo P2 SL. As I get new bits and pieces I'll add it here and (hopefully) we'll get a fixie at the end of it all.
