That third pic is making me think 'Third Policeman' kind of vibe. . .

Are you sure you just picked that spot? The bikes didn't have any choice in the location?

They look almost too happy, was there cake as well?

Fantastic pics!  Maybe we could have that second shot on next year's calendar?   :D

So your mum still rides it does she?

Mum hasn't been on it in years, but my father uses it occasionally.

If your mother or father get bored with it, you know where you can find me...  I'm afraid my (three) original Moultons all look a bit more "well used" than that.

Turning my old MTB into a workhorse for Emily... No before shot I'm afraid, brain was running a little slow ::-)

End result:


















Next up will be some full muguards.

Incidentally, ed-o-brain, this is the mtb I was talking about doing the part-ex on.

James,

It's red! :)

Did you ever check the size of it?

James,

Indeed I did, it is a 56cm but Emily is comfy on it and she is 5'10"ish if that helps at all?

I must say, I am pleased how smart Trix the Trek looks - Still very red after 10years and no rust.

Nice bike and lovely top.

Wish my MrsP had some interest in bikes and riding.

I think we should all club together and get her a red bottle cage.  That silver one WILL JUST NOT DO  ;D

Some of you have been very helpful with advice that has helped me get my Kona Sutra touring bike sorted out (disc brake problems, Shimergo). Here are a few pics of the finished product. I am very happy with it, and I'll have to go out for a spin before the sun goes down!

Lovely  :thumbsup:
I'm a sucker for disc and drops on a bike and I always liked the Sutra's paint schemes.

BTW GMG:- on the other thread you asked how I'd fitted my lights and I told you what the lights were (didn't read that very well did I ?  :-[).
The lights were mounted on a Topeak Bar X-tender hanging from the stem.

What a foul colour.  Mine is much nicer  ;)



D'you think Kona and On-Ones are made in the same factory?

No risk of toe overlap on that bike Roger.  Even if you wore your clown shoes.  Looks a bit wrong?

Thanks - I think so too! And thanks for the answer re: bar extender  ;)
I might email Kona with a pic now I've finished making changes and show them how they should have set up the bike up!

:facepalm: I can only assume you are joking! Not since the days of my parent's aircooled VW camper van when I was a kid have I seen such a beautiful green paintjob as on my Sutra.  ;D

Are you sure that bike is big enough for you? It doesn't even come up to your knees.

Well, it must be quite big, seeing as how he's got a ladder to assist climbing on to the damn thing.
Certainly never seen cycling south of Sussex
