What's Occuring

Now I have completed some rides on the bike I am pleased to report that all is well, it is comfortable and very smooth to ride. Starting and stopping is still an issue but then part of the joy of riding this type bike is aquiring these skills.

Recently obtained a pair of track wheel with tubular tyres, the good thing about these is they have a thread on each side of the hub, they are smaller than the original 27" wheels(so hopefully the brake pads will line up!) and they are light.

Also I have decided after some nagging to put the front brake on which will now fit with the smaller wheels

Legal stuff

2 kind people have advised me of some legalities which you may or may not know about.
1) It is iilegal to just have a flashing red rear light you need a fixed light aswell or in place of
2) A front brake must be fitted - as I have only a rear brake this needs sorting out

Had a super ride on the bike recently, the smoothness and the momentum you get are very good indeed
