Wow! Vik, The Unstoppable Bike Buyer ;)
Very, very nice. Congrats! I love the orange, I was very close to ordering the orange NWT. |

The rear hub is indeed a flip flop hub...although I won't be using it for that purpose. It's not branded so I can't say whether or not it's special at all. |
I'm running a 15/54 on my Brompton. close, a 57.9 , but as I don't live in a flat place it's the N gear on my AW3,
(+ a Mountain Drive crank) . |

Calgary has had the Ice sheet from the last ice age flatten things a Lot . Astoria Oregon Is one big hill, with a street grid laid over it.
Columbia, Big River, No Delta, at it's mouth is a Bar (several in town Too).. Cool :beer: Beer calling |

You Move out of your housing and back in every year?
I did a couple European Camping Bike tours , and That was how I afforded it , But No EU /UK work Permits so I had to return. to not find work here. |

That's Nice ,
I gotta stay where I can keep Glaucoma meds in a steady stream or permanent blindness sets in, will be 63 this fall I'd rather avoid that Veterans Administration keeps the meds coming. It's a pre paid plan I paid during the Viet Nam war era. |
I like Victoria and you have a lot of island to bike on. If you get bored take the ferry over to Port Angeles and bike to Sol Duc Hot Springs.

Hey Vik, does this mean you have 2 Tikits now? I thought you said in a recent thread that you wanted to reduce your fleet :lol:

So This is largely a Season Tikkit rear end , just substituted a Fixie wheel?
and so left off all the associated gear not needed. |
Let me guess, new frame tikit with seasoned tikit drive train on mango and season tikit turning into fixed... and removed from fleet?
2nd guess, fixed -> 11 hub and seasoned removed from fleet... |
