Mainly what it proves is a foolish aversion to mudguards
The dirt proves its used :)
This is Angélique Iolanthe. She goes by Angie She's Belgian. Got her back in January.
£499.00 from millets. I just had a small space in my bike shed to fit it in. Too cheap to leave on the shelf 🤣
...always!
As long as the drivetrain is clean...
A clean bike is for Christmas not the whole year
Got this Decathlon folding bike cheap on eBay. This is now my 5th bike, and probably my last one for a while.
Planning to use it for situations where I want to drive somewhere then cycle the last few miles - going to a music festival later this year and the park and ride bus is about £30 per day, but there's free parking 3 miles away from the venue.
Wow, all the bikes are amazing. I like them.
no it isn't fully integrated.
I brought the framset only and got a local mechanic to swap all the stuff over from my broken bike. He advised against full integration as he says it puts hours of labour onto even simple jobs.
im pretty happy with how it looks anyway - don't want to look to slick as people will expect me to go fast !
Great bike though - best carbon bike Ive owned...by some distance.
I have this frame, although a different spec / manufacturer. Is the front brake fully internal on that fork? Would you ever look to go fully integrated with the rear as well?
Best !
and here's my Specialized Diverge
Here's my Specialized Chisel...
Ti all the way...
ebike for office commute & other local errands...
Rack, mudguards, built-in powered lights & radar, belt drive, automatic hub gears, suspension seatpost & fork.
If that's a quill, put a bolt in and give it a few taps with a suitable persuader.
Garage bike? The sort of seller your mother warned you about? This is the cockpit of a Barracuda Team Replica, donated to the Repair Cafe. 700x23s with schrader valves, 7x3 gears and, er these twist grip shifters. The stem seems stuck, I've had the bolt right out, given it a bash or two.
I like the flat from above perspective.
My Specialized Tarmac SL7 bought as a comp but upgraded beyond a pro. SRAM Force AXS, Zipp Firecrest 303, Seciazed Aero Bars.
Just picked up this little beauty. A little delayed waiting for the various accessories (delayed by the flooding in Italy apparently).
My daily commute bike (tbf it is my only bike) - a Voodoo Limba.
23km a day. Up to 4,700km since new.
Put anti-puncture tyres on it, mud guards and clipless pedals.
It's been great for my commute - I was only supposed to cycle a few days a week, but I've been doing five days a week for a year and a half now. Never want to go back to driving!
Raleigh Record Ace catching the midday sun.
New 46t chainset installed. A home respray of the ice green 1983/4 model.
My personal bicycle realized, as I do for my customers, entirely handmade.
This is my Super Light Steel Frame Bicycle completely handmade by Forgione Telai
Super Light 6.4kg Racing Bike: Customized frame in Columbus steel with the Silver Fillet Brazed technique and components to go even under the lower limit weight suitable for competitions
The limit weight to participate in the races, what you imagined could only be approached with a carbon frame, the fateful 6.8 kg, you can have them with a complete bike with a steel frame!
You can also have a bike that weighs less than 6.8kg but made with a Forgione steel frame!
Project "Superlight steel" complete bike with customized frame and lightening details in Columbus Spirit steel joining method: Silver Fillet Brazed.
New bike day!
I just used my Brompton to pick up this Trek District 4 equipped. I was going to build something like this myself, but this ticked nearly all the boxes as built.
Dynamo powered lighting
Full mudguards
Belt drive
Internal hub (8 speed Alfine)
The only change I plan to make soon is maybe cut down the bars. As supplied they are over 68 cm, which just seems ludicrously wide for a city bike.
Brian Rourke, 1983.
Just had some new wheels so given a it a thorough clean and taken a photo for the scrapbook. Also swapped the rear mech from a PAT 74 to PAT 84. Got to move with the times, haven't you.
Largely used for commuting. Hence the need for new wheels. And use of a good saddle.
Occasional outings into The Peaks.
Here is my winter build project, complete. It's a dedicated hillclimber, I'm hoping to shed a few more kg myself over spring and summer, before possibly taking it to my local club hillclimb TT in September.
Comes in at 5.99kg, and was built from mostly used / second-hand components. Obviously I had a budget to stick to, and this is not a no-compromise all out featherweight. However I'll be scouring eBay for alternative wheels, cranks, tyres, etc to come up and so there's definitely a few hundred more grams that could come off.
