If it's anything like my mate's order, that'll be mid-Feb 2018.
Be a real man and wear Assos BennyCThere's even a store not far from the Rapha one!
Can't say it appeals but did see earlier in the year they were opening shop in London

Ooooh. When exactly is the demo day?

£65 though apparently includes a £50 'goody bag'
Might be better to test at the London Bike Show if they offer that.

For those who don't listen to the Cycling Podcast, you should. But especially the latest one with a fantastic interview with Tao Geoghan Hart, who is as articulate as he is brilliant on a bike

My Genesis Flyer has arrived! 
My first new (to me) bike since I was about 11 so it's a bit of a treat - not sure I will keep the bell and reflectors though.

learn about chain tension and how to move the wheel along the drop out (the two bolts) and also wheel alignment then brake alighment as you move the wheel back.

It's not my first fixed bike. 
My Genesis Flyer has arrived!
Is it the 2016 blue model?
Mine has held up well. I got mine in May last year and I've just replaced the freewheel after a bit over 2500 miles. I think I need to replace the bottom bracket as well as that's getting a bit crunchy.
The front facing dropouts make fixing punctures a doddle as well.

Question about Tyres when not in use over winter
Just curious, because im thinking about getting my bikes checked over soon, and when I do, im going to put the decent tyres back on my summer bike, but over the winter its stored outside and is not used, will the tyres be ok come summer each year providing i keep them pumped up or will they crack?

Ordered my Specialized Diverge Elite DSW 2017 bike off Sigma Sport with Specialized plug and play v2 mudguards should be here tuesday.
Are the Espoir sport tyres fine that come with it? mainly using it for commuting and the odd long rides every so often.

Rubber will inevitably perish. I think what's more important is keeping them out of direct sunlight and other elements.
I would expect usable tread to wear before this happens though.
