Is it a Brompton ? I'd ride a pink bike, I have owned two.  I'm a modern male,"confident in my sexuality" <- that's what Nina said when she saw my pink Bromwich MTB aka The Pink Peril

Looks like a Dahon to me.

Pink folding bikes must be fashionable or something. I did see a pale pink Brompton a few days ago in central London, being ridden by a chap in a pinstripe suit, and I thought it looked v.cool. I've also recently spotted a darker salmon pink one but didn't like the colour so much.

Stafford is the Bermuda-Triangle for bikes so Gordy going for chav repellent pink is quite sensible.

My new steed: A Ridgeback Panorama



Just went for a little 9 mile ride on it - very enjoyable! Still getting used to the drops though and my neck felt a little stiff from the more leant-forward riding position as compared to my hybrid. I imagine I'll get used to it though. Lovely bike  ;D

Several people looked as though they were going to laugh or make a comment yesterday - but they seemed to think better of it. With 100+kg on board, I'd describe the handling as.... floppy.

So it's small, pink and floppy... I'm not going to touch that one.

I'm a brooks fan and have a stealth, but I'd never dreamed of putting one on the other.  Beautiful idea!

...carrying on the theme of trad bikes and Holdsworths :thumbsup:

heres mine, black b17 and bar end shifters fitted, so just about done.  Although I may go back to the Brooks proffesional and brown bar tape at some point, bars still need final adjustment too...

Looking good, Aidan. The black Brooks works well and I like the the bar end shifters too. Glad you're enjoying the bike - much better that it's getting some good use. Will pass on the photos.

Another Genesis  :thumbsup:

The steelies are taking over my collection. Can't wait to try it tonight and over the weekend. The knobblies may be back on tomorrow for a blast around Hanchurch. The Flyer has slightly better components but this is a great bike.

A big thanks to Tim @ Sideways Cycles, got a great deal on it!!
