    I picked this up off ebay last week, changed a couple of things as the saddle was most uncomfortable so a spoon went on, and the bars were mini risers os on went a set of Charge Slice bullhorns with Bonty bar tape to match the rims.

    Couple of small spins up and down the road and it's great to ride, can't wait to commute on it next week 😀

    I think the first gen plugs looked really good, but I'm not a fan of the green rims.

    Mind you – here's my fixed that I have been riding for the last few years, so who the **** am I to comment?

    Enjoy the commute – just remember to KEEP PEDALLING!

    Nice. One of the special edition spoons, (as seen on this longtermer) would look ace if you could source one though.

    dirtbiker -> they're bikehut specials, SPD on one side, flattie on t'other.

    Edric 64 -> it's in freewheel mode, can't bring myself to ride fixed, don't actually see the point. (ducks & hides :lol:)

    tthew -> where do you find those, my likey

    Chocolate limes remind me of my long-deceased grandmother. As for the bike, I don't want to like it, but I really do. I'd stick some proper brake levers on though.

    What are the bars in the OP's pic?
    I think I need some 😉

    SM-. I've had to fit a pair of DB BMX 2 finger levers, they were the only split clamp calliper levers I could find on Saturday, so much better than the OE ones.

    2u2r -> they're Charge Slice Bars, £23 from Evans and other reputable retailers 😉
