Fixed gear

Today I went out for a real ride. Got salty water all over me but at least I know it rides as expected. Some technical details:
Frame: Concorde Time Trial
Front wheel: Rigida DP18, Shimano 600 hub, 650c
Rear wheel: Rigida DP18, All City track hub (red), 700c
Crank: Sugina RD2 Messenger
Saddle: Selle Italia
Seatpost: Kalloy Aero
Stem: Cinelli Groove
Handlebar: Nitto RB021

Today i drove the first meters with 'De rode donder' (The red thunder) which i build in the past months. It was tricky since this was really a homebuild bike, even the rear wheel was done by myself. It turned out pretty well, only the cog was loose so i stopped over @010fixedgear which had the right tools to lock things up really tight. After that was fixed and i had lost the worries for my rear wheel on the first miles i could really step on it. It was wonderful, the gear (44x15) being a notch heavier then what i'm used to was a good choice. This machine can go fast. Can't wait to cycle along the forest next week when i go back to work where i have a 2.5 kilometer stretch all for myself, no cars, just tarmac and trees. Then i'll know how fast is fast.

xiffy: Het is nu bijna een fiets. #Fixie

If things go well, i'll be able to use my seconf fixie this year. Today the last package from germany came holding the spokes i needed to lace this wheel. It turned out pretty round and it feels good.
Building your own wheel feels good if it comes out right, now i can only say that i should have done that a lot sooner.
