Nope. '07. The main difference is the quill stem on the '07 and the ahead stem on the '08. It's blacked out with electrical tape for two reasons:

1) I didn't like the decals
2) I saw someone else did it and thought "I want that one"

Fuji ones. Alex rims. They're the pish that you get with the bike as standard. They work fine even though everyone says they're rubbish. Everything else is also standard except the Fizik Arione saddle. I'm too cheap to upgrade anything on it really.

I live quite central. Eglinton Toll so south side but close to town. I suppose London fashions don't apply up here so you could always get Deep V's which are slated in London because they're heavy but CXP33s are considered to be lighter and nicer. Search on LondonFGSS for 'em.

Do it. But don't buy their brake kit.

p.s i thought about getting the 58 fuji instead of the 61, maybe that would suit me more.

The Bike - now minus back brake and with new tyres



and Me

That was me ...yeah been spotted by somebody from da interweb!!! .

I saw 3 guys on fixed while I was supervising at the kids playpark and then saw a bloke on a very nice purple Dave Yates on the way for coffee after. A busy bike spotting day indeed.

i wasn't on my bike, i was having a good auld skate.
we should have a cruise on our fixes soon.

im used to saying it in terms of skateboarding, such as "lets go for a roll" / "lets go for a cruise" so those words are as such in my vocab.
but its good fun 'cruising' around and seeing what the city is upto.

now im staying out in the country ive been cloking up the miles, i normally cycle into perth and back which normally = 30 miles
or a cycle to my friends is 10 round trip, im going to gain legs of steel soon.

not live i don't think but visiting loads most likely once i find my summer job.

finally got a photo of my bike.
still at a basic stage, i have ideas in my head.

Aw, you've got a good name AND a Scot. That's hardly fair. I went to look at one in Port Glasgow last month. The frame came into this world in 1958 and and its maker blessed it with chromed stays and lugs. Unfortunately, someone had been fiddling with the seat tube - it looked like a bit of amateur welding had gone on - so I Ieft without it. Hello to you, anyway! What colour's your Scot?

By the way, it's no' all hipsters on fixed. I've been up the Tak Ma Doon enough times that I think I should be allowed to ride whatever I like. I'm too old to be a hipster, anyway. :-)

hipsters don't live in the country and put in as much effort to cycle through the country 30 miles atleast 4 times a week where people don't care what you look like or cycle.

beautiful.

Nice frame cuppa. Where d'you get the picture, shame the badge says Dales and not Rattrays.

i found it through a google image search.....id love to find a good quality frame from built in Scotland.
i was cycling around Glasgow for the past two years on a BSA equipe....... when i bought it though i was slightly nieve and gave it a paint job.....i wish i just left it as it was made the rough paint job a feature.

hello!

well, i've been lurking around and occassionally contributing on the londonfgss site for a while but have just moved back to scotland from leeds.

it's nice to find a local/relevant site. at the moment, i'm living just outside kilmarnock but should be firmly in glasvegas by the end of the summer. at the moment, i just ride into glasgow if anything interesting is happening.

my bikes and me:

fixed (i know, but i love it - really fun to ride and i don't need to worry too much about it. now features black tape over the white bits and that creaky bottom bracket.) geared, and me (although i'm sporting a heavy beard at the moment!)

(ok - i can't get the picture thing to work - using photobucket and not had any troubles before - what am i doing wrong?!)

anyway, fixed is a langster at the moment - ideal work horse and pub bike (my bob jackson lives in storage in leeds until i get a flat properly,)

geared is a focus variado expert,

and i'm about average height and a bit overweight with a beard. i'm no hipster - i'm just waiting until being a grade A bawbag comes into fashion then you can all see some action!

cheers,

johnny
