Are those the novatec rims? How are they?

They are very nice. I have done a couple of rides on them and I am very impressed. They are light, responsive and rolls very well.

Marshall what model Langster is the white one? My mate has the red and chrome one and it's Special..

 

It's the London edition, the graphic on that bike is crazy, it has a map of the Underground.

That and the Taxi are limited editions.

Magic ratio? Didn't think there were slot dropouts on these...

 

Yup, Magic Gear.

Took me a while to find it! Weird thing was the chain also made a difference.

Singlespeed, 8spd or 10 speed did not fit as snugly as a 9 speed! Weird

 

Isn't that a KMC?

 

Ja might be, looks similar to the KMC chain seen on the Bianchi's at the Tour

BMC SLX01 converted to SS. I am riding a 42x16.

 

This pick of the bikes in front of the car in the garage reminds me of a mate of mine who also used to keep his bikes in front of his car in the garage. One morning after starting his car his foot slipped off the clutch and, his car being in gear, lurched forward and flattened his 2 bikes against the wall. He was not happy to say the least...

What is your gear ratio? My magic gear ratio is 47/16 and it is perfect for me. I also found that tension differs with different makes of chain. Both my chainring and sprocket are custom made from 3mm stainless steel.
