Fixie came home...
Been at the shop for a while, awaiting H Plus Son wheels, a NOS hub and a few other pieces.
Great fun to ride, with a significant mental load in terms of preparing to slow, stop, steer. It's like driving in England, with a stick shift.
It's also very good for pedaling technique: makes you pedal smoothly, through everything. I tend to take it out when I have limited time, but want a solid workout for an hour or two. Glad to have it back, and recommended for Clydes looking for something a little different to improve their form.
