My company insurance man is a big bloke who decided to lose a bit of weight by cycling. He lost a lbs on his first bike and fancied going fixed so he built this beauty.

I reckon it is absolutely gorgeous.....

Ok firstly he's called Bubbles ????

And how can you put up a link like that without explaining the Cottingham from Ringstead bit........whats all that about. I'm guessing he found it on a scap heap there....

Only joking, although I dont share your passion for the looks.

Quite fancy some of those bars though.

Not sure about the bubbles bit. He is 6' 6" and about 17 stone. He works for the NFU so it is part of his contract of employment to be dressed as a coutry gent at all times.

As for the bars - just get a standard set of drops and a hacksaw.........

Jack, I can't believe you live in Ringstead, and didn't know that a famous frame builder once lived there
