So, this is my current, and frankly rather special, fixed.
And, it used to belong to Chris Hoy (british track champion to those that don't know!), he's the one holding the frame in the pic. Apparently he rode it for a season or two back in '97. Now, i know some may crucify me for respraying a frame with such history, but the paint was pretty tatty. Plus i'm really not a fan of yellow. If it had Chris's name down the side i may have left it. Nevermind. I like it, so there.
I managed to get new decals fairly easily...Graham Weigh Cycles was one of my local bike shops back home in Wales, so my dad (who owns at least 4 graham weigh bikes at the moment!!) popped in and picked some up. Bo!
I sprayed up a set of DT rims, as they're 10 times better made than deep v's. Nicey nice nice.
I hope you like. I like.
