Seems to have a bit of a grass stain around the forks & BB. You'll need a boil wash for that...

Now with added Brighton butt-plug.

Out for a very very pleasant trip up to Mayfield and environs in May

I bet you had plenty of flies in your face on that ride

That's neat.

very nice. Brake's on the wrong side for me though..

Finally got Superstoker's bike finished and out for a trip to the cafe for lunch.

Mine too, but, being an older bike & packing Carradice, I thought B/W would be appropriate (and reduce the effect of that damn fence a bit

)

Excellent

It looks a bit cleaner than it was when I give it to you

clarion · « **Reply #1734 on:** 09 July, 2009, 03:58:18 pm »

When I had the wheels off, I broke out the baby wipes

Still a few greasy fingerprints from my fettling, though

The bairn loves it! He's really impressed with how light it is, and how easy to ride. He's a bit nervous about going far, but I think we can build on what we've done today.

Thank you so much

My faithful flat-bar road bike; many happy miles on it:

My new toy. I think I can get used to this lying down business...

rogerzilla · « **Reply #1736 on:** 09 July, 2009, 07:34:55 pm »

Have you noticed that the sloping top tube of the upright and the boom of the bent are almost exactly parallel to the drainpipe?

tom_e · « **Reply #1737 on:** 09 July, 2009, 08:09:03 pm »

Hmmm, perhaps that wasn't the best spot.

Dolan FXE

Kinesis Racelight T (best bike)

GruB · « **Reply #1739 on:** 11 July, 2009, 02:25:09 pm »

Perhaps I need some of these too?

Nice bikes.
I feel obliged to point out that the chain is a bit slack on the Dolan

Is there much between them?

rogerzilla · « **Reply #1741 on:** 11 July, 2009, 03:39:31 pm »

It's an extreme position! I assume, Mr. Hunt, that you are a racing whippet with no trace of a beer gut. My Fuji is similar, but that's because it usually has tri-bars clipped on.

Have always run my bars low and yes I am a racing whippet (well 34 years old whippet)

Changed the wheels, mudguards, bartape, chain, today and dropped the bars a little more.

Yes the Dolan is around 2 1/2 lbs heavier, the Kinesis is a much better frame to ride, I have now tightened the chain.

clarion · « **Reply #1744 on:** 11 July, 2009, 05:28:16 pm »

Much smarter now. But about the yellow tyres...

mr G, what you really need is some new dustcaps

What crankset is that?

GruB · « **Reply #1747 on:** 11 July, 2009, 05:44:10 pm »

I am keeping my eye out for those dustcaps. In the winter of course I have my blue flashing tyreflies

clarion · « **Reply #1748 on:** 11 July, 2009, 05:49:05 pm »

Superstoker has blue dustcaps. He's ahead of you!

Both are running Sugino RD's with 48 ring and 170mm cranks and 16t sprockets, I do sometimes run a 14t spocket on the kinesis
