was looking at cyclocross bike as opposed to an mtb or an out & out road bike cos of pot holes etc
have some michelin booted mavic 700c open4c rims can swap in for road rides
If Bristol fashion is anything like London you'll have to get a Fixed. Everyone here is a Fakenger.
Bonus is you don't have to put up with that noisy Campag freewheel and daft shifters
wtf is a fakenger? wait - is it a fake messenger?
was looking at a lightweight frame, maybe flat bard, maybe dropped, slightly tougher wheels than on a roadie so can go on gravel/ cylepaths etc
something like a kona jake, focus mares cross, trek xo1, claude butler urban 600 that sort of thing
