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!

Today was a fatbike sort of
Today was a fatbike sort of day. The front tyre is studded, which makes an enormous difference on ice.Temperature was -10 °C, and I had bare hands under the pogies.

Wouldn’t be riding without it, that’s for sure.
Fantastic mild weather around
Fantastic mild weather around here still, although not without the odd puddle and bit of mud!I rode my winter Decathlon Mach 720 (2016 I think?) bike to my favourite spot in the Essex countryside on my morning constitutional, and took a photo to capture the season.
New winter bike! I bought
New winter bike! I bought this Spesh Allez Sprint Comp frame as ‘new other’ from a chap in St Albans in December 2020, then we locked down and it was months before I could organise to get it… Over the spring I built it up with an old Athena group I had off the commuter I no longer needed since we all started WfH, and some Pacenti rims handbuilt on nice old Campag hubs. Then we were supposed to go back to the office so I bought mudguards as a commuter, and then we didn’t go back to the office after all.
Anyway, in December 2021 I signed up for the Festive 500, so I finally put the mudguards on and rode it through mud, fog, rain, fords, bridleways and tracks over the last week to complete the 500. To sum up: this has proved to be a brilliant fun bike, stiff and lively, with plenty of clearance for guards and bigger tyres, and it absolutely flies. Who said winter bikes had to be boring?

Sorry for the ungainly pose, but it decided to stand up by itself when I was doing a post ride rub down.

I won this bike in a raffle
I won this bike in a raffle from a local beer distributor just over six years ago. It’s a branded version for Chicago’s Goose Island Brewery, for their 312 Urban Wheat Ale. It may look like aluminium with its oval down tube, but it’s a steel frame, seat post, and bar.
It is a flip-flop single speed that I run on the non-fixed side. I geared it down a little so I can climb all the local hills, and added a rear brake, toe clips, and straps. The bottle cage and pump are on a TwoFish Quick Cage Adapter, as this frame has not a single braze-on. It’s a lot of fun and I’ve put just over
10004500 miles on it. It weighs just under 30 lb. Rear bag is a Sackville.The bike is a custom version of this $300-$400 (£225-£300) mail-order bike.
Looks like they’ve done a lot of other corporate branding, too. Anyone fancy an AUDI? You’re automatically exempt from signalling your turns when you ride it, and other cyclists have to move out of your way.
The process was simple but
The process was simple but the actual drawing was quite difficult. Drawing cubes on a round frame was really hard! Also at the beginning had lots of problems with smudging so had to clean/redo a lot of parts, that nearly finished me off
