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!

First day out on my new build
First day out on my new build.
A Merlin Malt G2X frame and fork from Merlin cycles for £299. Great value.
Most of the other bits I already had.
Shimano 105 11 speed with a GRX chainset and TRP disc brakes.
Shimano RS171 wheelset with WTB Riddlers.
Very happy with it, rides very well with comfort.
Happy Days.
Frame built by my own fair
Frame built by my own fair hand, heavily supervised, at the former Downland Cycles a few years ago. Cobalt blue by Argos.
Managed to find some reasonably suitable steel forks to get this frame back up together. Treated myself to another pair of Brand X carbon bars and seatpost from Condor.
My 6KU, replaced everything
My 6KU, replaced everything but the front chainring over the past 5 years.

One of my first purchases after getting a job out of univiersity. $650 new. Steel frame with carbon fork and campy components. I’ve only replaced the chain and tires after thousands of miles commuting on it. 2 months ago it got its first major damage when I forgot about it on my hanging bike rack going into the garage. Luckly only broke a shifter which I was able to fix with jb weld.
I couldn’t get that to work.

I tried something similar
I tried something similar with some timber and a pair of Delta hitches, with (unlike yourself) limited success, and so for people like myself with minimal (zero) woodworking skills, the Vergo range from Minoura is an off the shelf alternative.
Here’s a picture of it inside
Here’s a picture of it inside the car. I got the mounting bracket for the forks from ebay too!
This is my ULEZ avoidance
This is my ULEZ avoidance device. It’s a Halfords bike, and the accessories are all ebay parts. I use it to avoid the zone once a week, by driving part way, and cycling the rest. Most of the cycle portion takes place on seperated paths, so no need to worry about motor traffic. Despite its relative cheapness, the only problem I’ve had so far was a broken pedal. ?
