I have been asked to babysit a demo bike for a litle while so am currently enjoying one of these babies.

I'm gonna get in trouble I think

Overbury's now with Vittoria Adventure tyres, rather than the knobblies previously fitted, mudguards and a lovely shiny bell... but still not painted yet...

Right, we need a YACF competition to devise a paint scheme for Moulonaught's bike. I suggest red and black stripes, Dennis the Menace style.

Orange.
The One True Colour.

In that case, I've changed my mind. It should be ~~fuschia~~ ~~fusia~~ ~~fiushia~~ ~~phusia~~ oh bollocks let it be green with yellow spots.

And her it is, in all it's glory-

Complete with the excess weight that is a considerable amount of goose shit from the ride home.

I always wondered what was in Marmite.

Marmite in a plastic tub? What is the world coming to?

Ooh, ver nice. Am demoing a Whyte 129S, a Rumblefish and a Remedy, and maybe even a Stache over the next month. I think my LBS (who suckered me into it by asking me to lead some groups on a demo day) are trying to make MrsMekon very cross with me.

I really covet a Stache 8.

What frame size are you?

One of our mechanics has either a Superfly like the one I am demoing or a Stache in the green anodized gubbings stylee that he may be trying to sell.........

The biggest size I expect. I ride a 60cm Madone and a 61cm Tricross.

But seriously, I'm already 1 bike over my agreed limit.

Nothing fancy, but it suits me. Basically a Trek 7.1FX with seatpost and cranks from an old Cannondale tourer. Bars are SJS Northrounder with Ergonish grips from Lidl. Front bag is a modified waist pack, hung from a couple of bar ends. Hub motor to help up the hills, with the battery in the Cadet saddlebag. Worst ever range 36 miles, best 100 on just over half charge.

Like the sandwich of lighting too

Fulfils all criteria for "proper lovely bike".

A Sloper Finessing Obsessive checking in again

Brooks Mustard Leather Bar Tape @ £15 had to be worth a punt?

Paul Metcalfe was indeed right, the black tyres were no match for the previous gumwalls (always make me think of my dad's dentures) AND NOW the bar tape coordinates with the tyres

Hmm. It's still a whole bundle of loveliness, but I think the skinwall tyres fit better with the look. YMMV, and it's your bike.

Who is Paul Metcalfe? Who seems to live near where I did - NOTE me trying to deflect my red face
