After digging on EBAY I found it at:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...ategory=72 98 Now can someone tell me what a courier type bike is??? 'Courier' type bike. Also why would you have a disk brake on the front and V brakes on the rear? Has it got something to do with it being fixed gear? Thanks, Steve |

Steve,
After digging on EBAY I found it at: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...ategory=72 98 Yes. Sorry I forgot the link... Now can someone tell me what a courier type bike is??? 'Courier' type bike. Well, I had the frame made as something I could use when I work in London (about 10 days a month), and also ride on Sunday clubruns in the Yorkshire Dales at weekend. Also why would you have a disk brake on the front and V brakes on the rear? Has it got something to do with it being fixed gear? Front disk for its all weather great stopping power. I use a Hope XC4 155mm disk brake which is very light but also very powerful. This is superb in towns as well as on green lanes on a Sunday. The rear brake has to be a cantilever as the wheel moves backwards and forwards to get chain tension. Hope that helps - happy bidding, Ian |

Have you read James Annan's stuff? cheers, clive |
