Just won this on ebay...
Discussion
I always used to big into my bikes, dirt jumping and DH racing. Solg my last bike (orange p7 pro) about 2 years ago, and have recently had the itch to get back in the saddle. Seeing as I don't have a lot of spare time (or the balls) to race or go jumping these days, I thought I'd go for a nice, simple single speed road bike just for a bit of fun, commuting and sunny day caual rides. It's got a flip/flop hun but I don't think I'll ever be using the fixed gear - hills are for relaxing, not pedaling like a dick head! Anyway, I put a bit in with 4 days left for this on one pompino, of £240 thinking I'd easily get outbid. I won with a high bid of £228, not a bad buy I don't think. It's not standard, and I've not been on the scence for a while (never the road bike scene) so I'm not too sure on the spec but some of it rings a bell and looks decent. If I got a good deal, tell me, if I didn't. lie

Anyway. heres a photo and a link to the add.

By rules I would assume we are talking about these:
http://www.velominati.com/the-rules/
in particular you might find you are contravening rule 8 ;-)
the most important rule, and the one you will have to meditate on the most if you have been out of the saddle for a while is rule 5. you might also wish to refer to rules 18,20, and finally 26.
whether you are in contravention or not, enjoy:-)

The colour scheme is a little off I think, will probably change it more to my taste over time.
Nice set of rules though.
It'll probably have slicks on it most of the time as it'll be on the roads most often I'd have thought. It comes with slicks and the tyres you can see on it, as well as the original steel forks too.
Only issue is I have nowhere to put it. The OH wasn't too happy when I suggested the lounge

Single speed cyclo cross bike, nice, now come and get it muddy 
Cyclo cross? I think I shold have done more research. How "off smooth roads" can a bike like this comfotable go?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxC7rgeTGck

With slicks too.
ETA: watch it until the end.

Those two clips do open your eyes as to what's possible! In the comments for the first clip the guys do say they bust up some wheels doing what they did though.
Despite winning the bike yesterday I won't be collecting it until August now
My father is colleting it for me and keeping it until I go visit as a 5 hour e/w drive makes it a £300 bike rather than £230, and the parents live pretty close to where it is.

Hmmm - might put a whole different slant on our Dawn Runs Chris. Reckon we can get Ben out on a push bike? 
I've not met Ben yet, we just haven't been on the same run - if he sorts the current one out that'll change though.
I didn't know you were into your bikes Al, what kind of riding do you do?
