Pictures of your Bike
So, I figured that no bicycle forum would be complete without pictures of bikes! Post your photos here, no bike will be refused: Road TT Triathlon Cyclocross MTB BMX Shixie Fixie And anything else! Lovely bikes lovely, but everyday bikes interesting too. I won't post first, but I'm taking pictures right now. 
I wanna see what bikes you're all riding!

Unfortunately if the newly added video is all the video evidence, it doesn't show much of the driver's verbals. I really sympathise with the little...

Something for when it's drier and hillier...!
Winter wheels...
Had a hankering for steel again and couldn't resist this Thorn Audax frameset on eBay. I shifted the Claris groupset over from my cheap aluminium commuter. Claris is ace! And cheap to run. 46-33 Chainrings from Spa Cycles so I can stay longer in the big ring and feel like a Belgian. Pump pegs! I can carry a big pump! I've noticed more people smiling as I ride by and remember I'm a 45 year old man on a pink bike.
Started cycling just over a year ago on a Boardman ADV gravel bike and got completely hooked. I found I ride almost exclusively on tarmac and have finally got around to upgrading to this Cervelo Caledonia.
1st time post, turned this up for £180. Reynolds 653, Campag groupset, Mavic wheels. Supper happy 😄. Anyone know much about 653, haven't had a chance to get it out yet
New ride!
Something odd is going on, as this seems unlikely.
Reilly Spectre, my new favourite thing.
It does - thanks.
I've had it just over a year and so far it's been great. Never had a dedicated winter/bad weather bike before. I originally got it for my commute too which involves a rough towpath. The mavic wheels and 40mm tyres made it comfy but sluggish. Putting some 28mm tyres and lighter wheels had made it much more snappy and fun to ride. If I had the choice again I'd probably go for the endurance ti as commuting is no longer a factor as I'll be working from home for the foreseeable. That being said if you do want something that will allow some light off road action and decent road performance get the cgr. Annoyingly they released the new frame a month after I got mine. Hope that helps.
What's in like? Although I'm not really in the market of a new bike, the idea of a (relaively) affordable ti bike is very tempting - so I'm tempted by both the CGR or the Endurance Ti.
CGR Ti getting me through the winter nicely. Added some pdw mudguards and some dt swiss wheels as it's mostly used on the road at the moment.
Reilly spectre. I'm happy.
I've been commuting all week on it, 13km each way on North Surrey/South London's crappy roads. I'm very pleased with it, seems more comfortable than my alloy CX bike but that might just be the slightly fatter tyres. Gravelking SKs make a very entertaining noise on tarmac.
Have you ridden it yet and, if so, how do you like it so far?
My forever steed. I built this at Reilly cycleworks in 2018 under the instruction from Jon "Chickens" from Chickens Frame Emporium http://www.chickensframeemporium.co.uk/
Columbus Spirit HSS tubing throughout, filet brazed with lugs for the BB and rear dropouts, carbon fork and seat stem. Powdercoated frame. Currently running Shimano 105 but will be upgraded to some decent Campag when funds allow. Weighs in at 7.4 Kg as finished
Giant Allegre, frame from early 90s. Near Granada, Spain.
My new 4 seasons bike. It's so bright that people talk to me unapproached...in London!
Other than cutting help cutting the stem, first time I assembled a bike myself. All pieces therefore just how I want them.
So new I haven't ridden it yet, Boardman ADV 9.0
Building this bike during pandemic, hard to procure parts, but finally able to build after 6 months
That's a photo worthy of Gregory Crewdson! Chapeau!
Hi all,
New here and thought i'd intoduce MS Nasty - A Surly Midnight Special in Perry Winkles Sparkle blue (Aka Greggs coloured!).
For the record, it's a 2012 Charge Juicer Hi. That picture is three years old, but it's still going strong. In February this year I upgraded from old 105 to new 105.
Given all the recent articles about cycling goalkeeper, Ben Foster, I thought I'd post a picture of me, my bike and another ex-Premier League goalkeeper.
Really stylish and so beautiful!!
This is my current mile muncher.
2020 Dolan pre cursa.
Conquer elite S-300 wheelset
Conquer elite RX crankset
Alpina carbon seatpost
Alpina carbon fork (with alloy steerer)
I try and ride the Cinelli HoBootleg 50 K every Saturday, i love it..!!
On the tail end of quarantine due to catching COVID-19. I gave it a good wash, touched up the black bits, and new seasonally appropriate bar tape.
This is "Rosinante", my Giant Contend SL2 Disc in full day touring trim (and newly booted for winter with Conti GP4S). Neither of us are anything special, but we have fun together. Anyone seen any windmills to tilt at?
My Sarto Veneto on a jaunt round Stockbridge.
