un?comfortably aware that that was twice as much tyre as I've been used to for the last couple of years!

Yeah, mojo and fitness both low at the moment. Running in the Winters recently on the hybrid was hard work. I shall endeavour to think of this one as my smoooooth towpath cruiser...

They are still going strong, but the rain has faded them somewhat - probably water based stain Got a load more spares

Nice!

Also enjoying the very Welshness of your driveway

I've purplised it a bit (bottle cages, bits on the frame), but it doesn't show up on the pic. I've actually got some purple tyres, but they're 23s and I like my 25s too much!

Including valve caps?

No valve caps.

May I recommend Halo Twin rail. Not only available in purple but also in the required size.

Mrs Tiermat is running a pair on her Carlton IIRC

Currently under construction

Kinesis Gran Fondo Ti.That stem is a bit extreme for me and will shorten and reduce angle slightly!

#jealous! I may well replace my Tk3 with one of these - I do like Kinesis frames, and the GFTi is the best of them.

Did you say it was an Emoda ?

We had a demo day at the shop on Saturday and Trek bought a van full of Emondas, Domanes and Silques down- at least one of each frame size. At the end of the day, Dan, one of our staff carried 8 Emonda SLR8's to the van in one go, 4 hanging off each arm

They should call them Imodiums as undoubtedly they will go like shit off a shovel

Madone, Domane, Emonda. What's next? Damone? To ride on the street where you live?

Not quite Damone Albarne, then.

Maybe next should be the Nomade - a fizzy drink made of nomads.

First of many tip runs today clearing out the sekrit bunker ready for a friend to deliver lots of storage units to me tomorrow as the lab he works in is having a revamp. I inadvertently appear to have returned home with this! Managed to intercept it before the person ripping it actually put in on the pile of bikes

Basic gas tube but has a certain charm and ideal for when all the sprogs want an off road potter as we're currently one mtb short for a full family ride.

Just needs tyres and grips

Edit: and on the next tip run I nabbed a pair of wheels from a chap leaving a mtbso which have some very useable tyres!

Long live my not so inner womble...

El Mariachi has a new look ... at least until I get my confidence and a modicum of fitness back.
It'll likely get converted back to a fixed once I've got the HT560 out of the way in June/July.

After spending most of February off the Genesis after a black ice or diesel crash (not sure which) plus nursing a badly bashed / bruised knee and hands, I lost interest in cycling a little.

Stripped the Genesis to repair the damage but sold the remains in the end as I could not face riding it again.

So needed another bike, got a deal with the LBS and purchased this a few weeks back.

Spent a few weeks just getting back riding and building confidence, then stripped it for a makeover, it is now looking like this, running a single 9spd set up, rides really well (respect most people will hate the colour)

Next project funds depending is another Thorn Audax mk3 (red this time)

Torslanda · « **Reply #7642 on:** 23 March, 2015, 09:04:42 am »

Visiting barakta's family. She hit the Marmite motherlode while searching for coffee. Fortunately I have a bike with me...

Woofage · « **Reply #7646 on:** 25 March, 2015, 08:58:25 am »

There's probably no bike more British than a Brompton so I'm surprised it doesn't have a Marmite jar holder built in.

1990 Raleigh 531 'Blueridge' (recently powder coated silver) with too much black bits

Arrived today

Just need to find some pedals and get the bars t a more sensible angle and I'll be taking it out for a run
