Haha, no we've not met. I'm an avid follower of the Fixedgearleeds blog.

I currently ride,,,,, dare I say it,,,, a bike with gears and front suspension - but always with style. I'm really interested in the fixed gear culture though and I love the idea of a bike striped back to its simplest form.

Ah well its nice to hear that you follow the fixedgearleeds blog and I greatly appreciate your comments on my videos! You should definitely get a fixed gear. I ride with gears too, albeit with 23c tyres but it serves for a different purpose. I've ridden mtb's too, but nothing compares to ridding a fixed wheel for me :D Is there any fixed gear activity around your area?

[mtbuk1982]

@maxx87 Yeah I live in Leeds now so you could say there's loads of fixed gear riding going on in my area!

I'll get a fixed gear soon. I'm thinking of buying a gumtree/ car-boot road bike and rebuilding the rear wheel with a fixed hub and removing the gears and brakes. I reckon the carboot bodge will serve as a good 'toe in the water' bike before committing more funds.
