I used to have a really nice fixie – road bike, so drop bars, guards and a rack for panniers. It wasn’t cheap, handbuilt wheels, Ritchey WCS bars etc. Great bike for the commute. I got rid after I got knocked off and my spine broken. I’m now back to commuting but off road, so it’s an old 90’s rigid MTB running Schwalbe landcruisers, guards and a rack. LX and XT groupset.
Would like to move to a gravel bike, but short on space now with all the other bikes. Might give it a respray after success respraying an old Ribble 653 road bike with rattle cans – took some work, but it looks ace.
