It's a rigid road singlespeed fixie. Why on earth would I want one? And why on earth was it sooo nice to ride?

Good effort, cheers. I'm about 0.1% less in love with it now 😉

It's a Pace 42:16. Like I said to Adrian today, under the entry for "bicycle" in the dictionary, there should be a picture of this bike. Probably the purest example of a bike I've seen. I mean, take away anything (with the exception of the grips I suppose), and it just won't work.

Could be a nicer colour. And forks are a bit naff.

Boring. Pace needs square alu tubing, rigid forks and [url= ]the most beautiful stem known to humanity.[/url]

Looks nice... £440 isn't too bad either 🙂 Though... TBH, if I'm getting a singlespeed/fixie road bike, I'll be getting on of these:

Slightly different category at £1000+... but blingin lovely I think you'll agree! 8)

You will almost certainly have a very big accident on it.

looks fine for popping to shops between heavy traffic .... looks **** for actually riding ... bars too narrow - TT too short for the height of the bike ...

nice city bike though - nice fat tires , nice upright position , nice narrow bars for not taking off wing mirrors , mudguard mounts

Yes, predictably I asked Adrian about the likelihood of a re-release of the RC100/200 type frame (like he never gets asked that!). Sadly I won't be holding my breath!

Coud do with a belt drive, and a suntan, and some brakes, and some mudguards, and all of the things mentioned auf Deutsch above.... HTH!

I'm doing no convincing.

Anyone who'd want to ride a POS like that obviously deserves it.

Go out more. Meet people. Get a girlfriend.

Take away the front brake and it'll still work.
Check out Chris Akrigg's "fixie" vid to show you just how one of these bkes should be ridden.
If you can't do all that shit on it, then what's the point of owning one?lol

Do you work for a marketing company?

Its a virgin megastore. Like i said to richard today, under the entry for "record shop" in the dictionary, there should be a picture of this shop. probably the purest example of a shop I've seen. I mean, take away anything (with the exception of the video games I suppose), and it just won't work.

It was very nice but really needs polished drops and stem. 2nd best bike there after the Fargo.

The fork crown doesn't look right...almost as though the legs sit behind the headtube...
