Just started cycling to work. It's taken me a few weeks to get my ancient Orange Clockwork adapted for the ride:  I'm at work having just done the first 17.5 mile mainly downhill run. Not looking forward to the return journey - 892ft of ascent + traffic! |

Nice. www.flickr.com/photos/mawis_bikes/4931320229/Mine. New fangled shite. Have a few older ones which sort of cover development of the last 25 years. This one here is a one of the first Titanium frames I ever built. Don't think I like the fork though. |

I imagine it's a fixed wheel at the rear, so you slow down by not pedalling.
Alternatively it could be a "pedal-back" brake

Ha ha I wondered how long I'd get away with it before I got the abuse I deserved ;D When it comes to push rods I love single speeds & fixies. I had a fantastic Kona singlespeed which got stolen, I still don't think I've got over it.  It was a Humuhumunukunukuapua'a (honestly - I'm not making it up!) |
