For ages I've been seeing people zipping around on these little light framed single speed bikes, and some of them have the strangest and coolest looking wheels. It's literally made me want to make the switch over to fixed gear cycling!

I've done a fair bit of research and a lot of the wheels I've seen are Aerospoke wheels, and they're really stunning. People usually just have one Aerospoke wheel at the front and a more ordinary looking wheel at the back, though most fixed wheels are pretty nice-looking!

I'm thinking about converting my bike frame to single speed and getting an Aerospoke but they're pretty pricey in the shops so I'm looking on http://www.Adizar.co.uk to see if anyone's selling an older one. I looked at one in a bike shop and they're pretty solid and heavy, but hopefully it'll be worth the money I end up spending!
