All done, now where shall I go?

Very nice, where did you get the seatpost and stem?

I suspect bought s/h from Timmy Mallet, who left his calling card.

Stem is a Hope 90mm MTB stem available at various places probably could do with longer TBH. The seatpost is from Brick Lane Bikes.

Thanks, looking to add some colour to my Pugsley!

Re-sprayed, now with green bar tape and currently set up with a 58" fixed gear. There's a 52" on the other side.

Looks eager and business like.

Aye, same bike. Ish. Different drivetrain and rear wheel, obviously. I'm pleased to have it fixed and spruced up - considering how close I came to leaving it in a ditch in India!

Oscar's dad · « **Reply #5637 on:** 04 August, 2012, 07:38:15 pm »

Brilliant. What tyres are you using?

Deano · « **Reply #5638 on:** 04 August, 2012, 08:07:43 pm »

Erm, Panaracer Mach, I think. Donated by Tiermat.

(front hub donated by Clare and Vernon, seatpost donated by Crinkly Lion

Not mine, been sorting it for a couple of friends, but will be piloting it at the Ullapool Sportive late September (with a previous worlds masters champion female pursuiter doing the stoking)

Preferably with no stoker, but with the rear cranks rotating amusingly!

Couldn't beat him in the 70s not much chance of giving his ego a bashing now

Tandem belongs to Andrea Ingram (ex development officer at Manchester Velodrome). My tandem partner will be Evelyn Dunstan

Here are a couple of photos of my favourite bike, a Thorn Audax Classic bought second hand about three years ago. It suits me perfectly.

And This is my old Trek mountain bike, bought new in the mid 90s, it has slowly morphed into a touring bike. Shown here taking Mini Joe on an early Sunday ride along the Plym Valley path.

Setavento Ti custom, with welded repair, Tortec Ultralight rack, SQR block, Generator powered lights, handmade wheels, Ragley Luxy bars, B17, Marathon Supremes, 1x9 gearing

The plant in the background is a Fig tree

A new addition to the stable is this Carrera Vanquish for #1 son.

You wouldn't believe how little this weighs.

Nor would you believe how little I paid for it given that it was bought from several different places.

The blue tyres and bar tape are, I think, sufficient proof that William is not a Man U supporter.

He's over the moon with it . . .

For the 'Fence Police' I have no responsibility for the uncoated timber in the background, I was just leaning my bike on it. That's all.

Just built a new, old bike up. The make is Spinney, but it's nickname is the 'Village bike' because it's the sort of bike that will be used to run errands around the village:

Does it look better with...

...or without?
