"Pompimpino"

After having my beloved On One Inbred stolen recently i have just taken delivery of a Pompino.I have been eyeing one these for quite a while.I don't think i have read one bad thing about these.So with my hand being forced i took the plunge and went for it with a fixed setup.Having only ever rode freewheel for 20 years i thought about fitting a freewheel.But thought i hard can it be? Well on the first ride out, the unconcious instinct of 20 years of freewheeling,well left me lying in the road unconcious!After coming round and first checking my new shiny lovelyness, i realised i'd got a pretty nasty gash above my eye and after a trip to A&E it turns out a busted joint between the collabone and shoulderblade and torn ligaments!!OUCH!! So here's to 6 to 12 weeks of drooling over my new bike...

Hoping for another cold one !!

The last couple of winters here in the UK have been cold and snowy,temps of minus 20c in parts of the midlands and the north.So with that in mind and hopefull anticipation of another cold one here's a few pics from the last couple of years.
