roachboy - You can convert mountain bikes into fixies!?!?!  I thought most mountain bikes had vertical dropouts...?
Tirian - that looks hot, but the first thing I thought was OUCH. My ass is so bruised just looking at that flat wooden surface and thinking about all my weight sitting back on it. Hope you get the upgrade soon! |
Another realtively cheap approach to this problem: Get a pair of silk or polypro liners that go under your regular gloves. (Make sure your regular gloves are big enough to accomodate the liners without cutting off the circulation to your fingers or this "solution" will make things worse, not better.)
Then you have regular, weatherproof gloves over a liner. Should keep you warm and dry, and when you start to sweat you remove one of the pairs of gloves for a while until you cool down.
