Pinned rim joint!  The wheel had only done 11 miles from new, because the previous 1,000 or so had been done on a dynohub wheel.

Mitigating circumstances eh? 

This is all beginning to sound too much like Nuremburg, "vee ver just following orders".

You would have got away with it as well, if it hadn't been for those pesky kids (rotating your wheel 10 degrees).

However, it's photos of immaculately clean brake-cable nipples (I suspect polished), after 1000 miles, that make me glad I bought the Orbit Road Bike from you RZ.

I reckon that was left on porpoise so people wouldn't get overly suspicious.
But as soon as the photo shoot was over, it was lovingly polished out.

More bikes HERE where it would be a crime most heinous to get them dirty.

I thought of an early 1990s Marin MTB.  I loved the colour schemes on those (and the contemporary Konas).

<Back in the day>

Day-glo for the win!  ;D

I was quite taken by the Jackson Pollock-style Alpinestars, and the funky multi-coloured titanium tubes on Raleigh Dyna-Techs, myself.

And who can forget the near-obligatory purple anodised bits?  :demon:

Purple anodising was 1992.  Blue anodising was 1993.  Red anodising crept in towards the end of that year, then it all went black.

;D My Alpinestars Mt Xross was the worst bike I ever owned! ;D  No purple anodising, mind.  Maybe that was the problem ;)

Looking at the HALO website it seems that purple ally is back again :-\

It was acceptable in the 80s...

I was on route to the Radio 1 Big Weekend and I had to come home at 0130 in the morning so I put my Halide 2004 on.  That is the bag battery on the top tube.  Behind the Halide lamp you can see the tip of the Exposure Joystick protruding out.  The Dinotte is the same lamp but came back from Dinotte USA with a new connector.
