Hey guys, hope you're all doing well,

I've been running pedal straps since the start of my fixie journey, I recently decided to explore into the wonderful world of clip-less pedals. I then used this excuse to justify a small purchase of a cycling cap (to look cooler of course because it's Rapha), I actually purchased this casquette because I loved the colour scheme when I first found it, upon receiving it, I discovered it's actually from the 2016 TDF. I wanted to know if anyone had further information on this item, as I cannot find anything at the moment. It fits well, but the majority of my head circumference is hair at this point, so I need a haircut. As for the shoes, they’re a pair of Mavic Cosmics I believe, I got both items second hand and I am very pleased with how they look, I cannot wait to cycle in them both and grow the Rapha collection.

Thank you and have a great day.

Hi there 👋,

This is my first fixed gear cycle. I purchased it about a year ago, but recently due to summer coming back, I’ve fallen in love with riding fixed all over again. I remember bringing it back home on the train, buying it with as much as my 16 year old self could scrape together, stumbling around clumsily as I wasn’t used to pedals nor the bullhorns. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do and would love to hear what you think or suggest.

I purchased this light from AliExpress, it’s very bright and has plenty of modes, but I needed a light primarily for safety as I ride longer into the evening every day.

Note: I am aware, it desperately needs a clean 😭, I’m awaiting the degreaser in the post.

Thank you for reading 🙏
