		<description><![CDATA[I bumped into a fellow riding a noisy fixie on Merri Parade a few weeks back. I rode up beside him and said hi. We got talking and by the time we&#8217;d ridden across to Heidelberg road, he had made a couple of interesting points about cycling and Melbourne that stuck in my mind.

		<description><![CDATA[Down in the workshop people ask us lots of questions. The latest thing that has come to mind is how to get chain tension on a frame with vertical dropouts. You might want to do this for single, fixed or hub gears. I&#8217;ll list them in order of complexity.
Use a chain tensioner, that could be an old rear mech (Dura-Ace or Record if you like) or something made for the purpose by Rohloff or Surly to name but a couple of brands. It almost goes without saying that this is ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

So the time has finally come to unveil the bike I&#8217;ve been dreaming about for the last year or so. Taking LittlePixel&#8217;s idea, from bikeforums.net I&#8217;ve cooked up my own version of a fixed-wheel Brompton.
Starting with a 2009 S1E Brompton in clear laquer, I built a wheelset around Velocity Aerohead rims with a Phil Wood hub at the rear and a Pantour suspension hub at the front. I&#8217;m running on slick Schwalbe Stelvio tyres.
