Have you order'd from them before?

Nope... picked-up the reference on a dedicated fixie site. Was recommended as a reliable source of reasonably priced bikes but I have no personal experience of them...

There are a few things I'm looking for too. Maybe we should consider one of these "CRC-type deals"? Or it might be worth putting in a small order to check them out...

BTW gtracing - cool bike! Hopefully see it in the flesh one of these days...

Took it for it's maiden long ride yesterday, need to change the ratio to 43 x 16. I have a 18 on the back, but run out of cadence on thelevel and downhill.

I'm running a 44 x 18 (battled on the hills with a 48 x 14 - maybe this has gone a bit too far in the other direction... or maybe it's just my age...) while Matic is running a 48 x 18 which seems to work OK for him.
