I've been a serious bikenut for a few years now.
It's the first sunny day of the year and my daily ride, a fixed 1920's Demi-racer's rear wheel is finally falling apart.The ducttape held up for almost three weeks.
I thought it was high time to put some cycling stuff together. My late 30's Porteur bike needs just a little more work before it's good to go and then I can fix the racer again, right in time for the spring.
I'll post pics.
Meanwhile,here's a bit of kit:
