It doesn't seem to integrate with either of the neighbouring developments (Dickson/Allanfield) and I'll feed back to that effect. I _hate_ the bubble/isolationist effect fences create between neighbouring communities. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5266#post-56342 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 21:59:46 +0000 Instography 56342@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I thought some folk might be interested in my new toy that I finished making today, having started in October. A chocolate brown Pompino frame with various bits and bobs attached. Mostly picked up the bits in sales (apart from the saddle - that was Christmas).</p> <p>I had planned to build it with an Alfine geared hub but baulked at the price of the hub and went for single speed, only with a more relaxed ratio of 40:20 than my everyday SS with its 50:16. </p> <p>The wheels make me slightly nervous with their reduced spoke count and radial lacing at the front. I've never quite reconciled myself to the fact that my entire weight is supported by little metal sticks and this isn't helping. </p> <p>Took it for a wee spin today and it seems nice. Odd enforced slowness. Might be worth an Arthur's Seat attempt. </p> <p>Some photos on <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/instography/6853017997/in/photostream/lightbox/">Flickr</a> </p>
