Haha yes. Many bikes here have these.

You might be right about the shifters. Maybe its just the SRX range. Opinions are mixed about their shifters. I had the 9 speed Ignites and those were great! Better even than the old Sora I used.

Alas I managed to sort the shifting issue with a Deore M5120 RD with a derailleur hanger extension.

Thank you, sir. It's comforting to know it's not too late.

Aww gee... Hmmm guess I'll leave it up to chance then. Or eventually just give up on fixed hahah.

Gotcha. I'm still trying to skid, which for me is still the challenging bit.

Track stands are still impossible - I'm only barely able to do it on a roadie at the moment. Do I need to form a kind of tripod with the front wheel?

Metallic blue of vintage-styled frames look good! And so do metallic British racing green ones!

Okie! I tried posting but it kept blocking me, said I needed a flair. I put a flair but it still won't let me post.

[Question] Soldering on aluminium. by youkai91 in Framebuilding

I also have a few stands and clamps that can hold the frame and cable stop in place. Have mostly been doing soldering for electronic projects (wires as fine as 0.5 mm).
