Nice! I wonder if that would work with a freewheel bike too?

How much is an XTR/X.0/XX cassette these days? Are you sure fixie riders are the ones paying too much for stuff?

I can kind of see where some of the money has gone in bike components tho, R&D, machining etc. This just looks like 2 handebars stuck to a plate and powercoated....£15 would be pushing it.

I think that LOCT child seat contraption must be up there too.

You obviously missed this then.. only £190 in Walnut or a £171 in Ash (no P&P)

EDIT: Geoff, though I admit I was taken aback when I check out the price of a LOCT (for a friend), but I do like the idea. Better than those child seats that hang off the back of a bike. BTW the LOCT site seem to have a virus, if your going to check it out..

They are, in the same way MTB's are, some people just enjoy riding a different type of bike. For years the commuter of choice was an MTB, now its a track bike.

The moment they mention the word 'designer' I walk away - it's for the posers.

Their ad is nauseating "The top bar of the bike slots between the grips holding the bike on the wall for all to see and envy..."

Almost enough to make me stick my fixie up in the attic until next year.
