I feel a bit discombobulated looking at that last pic - a bit like being at sea.

Aha, thankyou so much, so is this right now ?? If it is it's my fixie taken at night which doesn't do justice to it's colour. Just had it powder coated a lovely sky blue.

Yup, photos are working for me.  Very much like that blue fixie.  One of my fixies is in bits in the shed waiting for me to arrange to get the frame resprayed/powder coated.  Currently I'm thinking of going down a cream route (like a Surly Steamroller).

Oxford Blue is the new black.

Watch this space..

I like the loaded up tourer, we need more shots of tourers in full all up mode.

You do seem to have borrowed my yellow bar bag, and carradice rack bag though.

I see it has worked, there's no stopping me now !!!!

It may be my internet connection being rubbish, but you might want to consider shriking the file sizes too.

Finished off my Kona smoke work bike today.

Is there a matching thread in "wanted" where you're looking for more pedals?

Looks pretty good

Very nice. I've not seen one of those before. Is it a new frame, or a rebuild of an old one?

No its new, Rutland cycles have been selling them off cheap.

This is it as standard when I got it.

Well I kept the frame / forks and brakes.

Spec is Easton Ea50 bars / stem and seatpost, Sugano RD cranks with a single 42t ring, 105 (9spd) rear mech, 12/23 cassette, KMC chain, single Deore shifter, Deore Hubs on Mavic Open sport rims (700c), Schwalbe Stelvio Tyres, Charge Spoon Saddle, BBB Leather grips.

Needs better brakes which I will be sorting soon, did not cost loads to sort as I had most of the bits from unstarted projects.

Nice, and very subtle.

Tasty. A mile eater. What seat post is that you have there, looks to have a decent amount of set-back?

Thanks. I think it's just a bog standard unbranded carbon seatpost - I was on my budget limit so was fairly thrifty with bits that I didn't think were too important, or which could easily be upgraded later. The spec sheet says the tip of the saddle is 69.7mm (!) behind the bottom bracket if that's what set-back refers to?

My Kettwiesel last weekend.



Ideal transport for snow and ice, sped over large stretches of sheet ice that would have had me off on a two wheeler.  Two wheel drive also helps for the steep bits - though had a bit of a "moment" when both rear wheels locked going downhill with a bit too much momentum to loose...

Cotic Roadrat with drops, Alfine 8sp, V brakes, Marathon Plus, mudguards, generator hub

Try dropping the SQR as low down the seat post as possible. I found this makes the CofG lower and the bike doesn't "sway" as much when you're climbing out of the saddle.

I have actually raised the SQR since this photo as the saddle bag is so large ( a Super C ) that it was hitting the mudguards

[GruB]

Lovely looking machine there Sigurd.

[David Martin]

This is possibly one of the oldest bikes in Britain, though it is not known how it came into the possession of our club. The pedals do go round, and whilst the style may be current for the time, it seems a bit dated now. The cycling attire of the rider lends authenticity to the machine.

Is it cruel to ask if they also make them in your size?

Finally got out on my Aravis Super Tourist for a ride today.

Can you swap that pile of washers for a headtube?
