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!

Oldfatgit, what a horrible
Oldfatgit, what a horrible experience.
Anyways… here’s a bike I recently put together for commuting. I bought a Kinesis Tripster AT frame when they were widely on sale earlier this year and have built it up with Shimano Metrea components done as 1×11 and some carbon bars and seatpost from China. Comes in at 9.5kg as pictured. I’m really enjoying riding it, being able to use wider tyres really does make a commute on UK’s endlessly dug up roads more pleasant.

He looked at the Ribble e-bike but decided to buy a Paralane2 from the LBS (red, 105 groupset) and is very impressed. He said it feels not so different from his Trek Madone. Hope you enjoy it.
Thank you Simon.
I was looking at the Orbea Gain and the Ribble, but discounted them as you can’t remove the battery for charging.
I’ve no power or heat in the bike store, and concerned over battery life being reduced by the cold.
Although … if I can’t get the funds for the Paralane, the missus might have to lump a Ribble in the hallway 🙂
Wishing you well.
I was thinking of electric. Both Avanti blades have bottle screw holes on seat tube and both above and below angle beam of frame.
Eg a low mount of battery if converted. Pictured bike is hub gearbox and front guard isn’t installed, hasn’t been washed since last year and is ridden during storms.
I was thinking of whatever that crank drive unit is, comes as single wheel or double chain wheel.
Quality bikes. They sell cheap used down here. Add $1000Aus to assist torque electrically.
Just in case such suits you with something to do during recovery.
I changed my mind.. Happy without. Although the double chainwheel will probably go back to a triple when I can be bothered. The parts I have should work.Oldfatgit

What a dreadful experience ,
All my best wishes for a complete recovery.

I hope the car driver will be prosecuted.
Thanks Doug.
Because he admitted guilt at the scene, it was a fixed penalty Careless Driving … didn’t go to court.
Although, as an octogenarian, he might find getting insurance a bit harder.
