Thank you for the video, picked mine up yesterday from Decathlon and rode 36 miles home, really good bike for £300 🙂 now gonna get the front rack from Brick Lane Bikes 👍
I got it from Decathlon, but it is not like the original one, as this one is quick-release and also has sealed cartridge bearings. I think this one is used in the Triban branded bikes, P/N is 8666309. The original ones are loose ball bearings which are cheaper and require more maintenance. Decathlon also sells a "fixie" specific front wheel, with classic solid axles and nuts and also sealed cartridge bearings (P/N 8331948), but it is more expensive than the one I got.
With the stock gear ratio (44/18) you will probably spin out at 31-32 km/h. You can always change the freewheel to 17, 16 tooth or lower, to get higher top speed, but climbs will be harder
Nicce setup!

Beautiful steel bike. 🚴🏾♂️
where were you riding?
Please where did you buy your front wheel? Or is it from Decathlon as the original one? Thank you.
