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!

My most used bike around town:
Originally a cheap Dutch run-around from around 2000 with bottom end 3×7 Shimano stuff, horrible suspension forks and a spoke I pulled out of the rim in a silly moment.
Now completely rebuild:
- Self-built wheels using DT Swiss TK540 rims and Alpine 3 spokes using Alfine dyno hub at the front and 11 speed Alfine IGH at the rear.
- Alfine crankset 39×20 with Shimano XT platform-SPD combi pedals
- RST RF-M7 rigid forks and Cane creek headset
- Magura HS33’s
- Ergon GP3 grips
- B&M lights
- SKS reflective mudguards and 3M spoke reflectors.
The only original parts are Frame, tyres, kickstand and seatpost, with a new seatpost and kickstand on order to try and get rid of the creaky sleeve and scruffy looking corroded stand. Tyres will go at some point as well.
Actually managed to spend less than a new Norco Indie 11, which was by far the least expensive Alfine 11 bike I could find… and I used significantly better parts (especially brakes) and the frame has the rather convenient integrated rack.
All in all this turned out very well indeed. The hub is very smooth and silent. Very responsive on upshifts especially. The Ergon grips are supurb! Forks are nicely complient, but track well in high speed decents. They are a few cm shorter than the dire suspension forks were, which made the bike a bit more nimble. By no means a lightweight at 15Kg with all the bells and whistles, but a pleasure to go around nontheless.

Here’s my bike. When I bought
Here’s my bike. When I bought it it looked like crap. The person before me started sanding the frame and looked awful. Different wheels and fork. Got a paint job and replaced parts. This is my San Francisco ride!

Hi everyone,
Hi everyone,
2015 Sempre Pro here. Bought the frame and built it up mostly from stuff I had on another bike, like the Campy Neutron Ultra wheels. Best frame I’ve ridden. Its mostly Chorus and Record. This is the ‘special’ bike. My daily road bike has an Al frame from Velo Ecosse in Edinburgh. Actually that feels pretty good too. That one was built up using bit off a Bianchi Impulso. The Impulso was too large which I realized after a season of riding, and a bike fit.

Because winter is coming and so is ‘cross.
This is my new fun bike, the frame is by Squid Bikes in California, handmade aluminium -with some very tidy welds. finished with Thomson kit, a TRP cross fork and a mix of 9000 shifting and hydraulic braking – it’s got a 1x homebrew on it, 36 up front and 11-25 at the rear
it’s funner than a fun thing during the fun festival!
painted it myself – complete with Shia Labeuf motivational head tube 😉
