How did you  make it stand my itself?

[GruB]

It is balanced on a stick placed into the offside crank centre.

[GruB]

All good now.

Except:

Uneven gap between rear mudguard and tyre - accepted.
Tyre logos not lined up with valve stem - hadn't thought of that, must try harder.
Saddle angle - looks odd but feels okay.
Handlebar angle - bars were second hand - not my choice and will be replaced one day.
Brake lever QRs undone - no it isn't.
Your fence needs painting - I will tell Mrs G - that is her job.
Too much clover in your lawn - Agreed.  Out the front there is too much moss.

[GruB]

Also:

Rear brake cable outer too short - no it is fine.
Photo taken of bike with drive side crank not set vertically downward - Accepted - schoolboy error.
M!dg&*rd stays not correctly fitted with  SKS captive endcaps - this is the third bike they have been on - lost long ago.
Seat tube bottlecage in use with empty down tube cage - that is the tool box and the other cage is used for drink.
No handlebar endcaps - actually there are - they are black - stealth fitting so you can't see them.

But apart from that very nice!

  Don't tell her I said it!

[Rhys W]

But how do you get the ping pong balls balanced on the brake hoods?

[Tewdric]

.. and, of course, no Carradice Barley!  ;-)

[Tenbears10]

My Condor singlespeed back in the summer sunshine.

[Tewdric]

Yet another set of 'bars for the Bob Jackson - Nitto Noodles on a Technomic Deluxe stem this time, with a view to some longer rides on it this season.   One of my objectives is a 200 on fixed, which I've never done.

[Rhys W]

Probably the best bike stand in the world.

[marcusjb]

Probably the best bike stand in the world.

'tis a lovely machine as well!

(I also have the same goal this coming year - a fixed 200)

[Paul Rainbow]

Yes great bike that Tewdric! Here is my Fuji enjoying a day out at the seaside a few years ago when it was shiny and new...





I too will be planning on doing a fixed 200k next year, its funny that I actually ride it mainly through winter and do some pretty big distances on it but always wimp out when I think of taking it out on a 200k!

[citoyen]

I did my first 200 on fixed (an El Supremo ride in March last year) about a month after my first ever ride of any kind on fixed. 

Not on as lovely a bike as Tewdric's Bob Jackson though.

Lovely bike Tewdric but, the Carradice is a bit slack

As it should be son, as it should be..

Wot? The lid

I need to sort out my own Carradiceage in that case.

[Tewdric]

Wot? The lid

Ah I see, thought you meant the general slackness.

It should be buckled up of course, but it can be a good talking point on an audax as absolutely everyone around you tells you that your bag is undone.  What better way to strike up a conversation!

I'm very happy with the position now, and the 48cm Noodle bar are the first drops I've ever had that are truly wide enough for me.  They make the 46cm randonneurs on my audax bike seem positively skinny!

[zigzag]

very nice bike and photo, but that stem - so long and skinny elegant! (i'm sure it's designed properly, but still wouldn't fill me with confidence)

[DrMekon]

Marathon Winters fitted. Maybe enough clearance to keep the mudguards on in snow. Damn, those winters are noisy.

[GruB]

Some previous wrongs corrected.
Valve and logos.
Carradice.
Saddle angle.
Bar angle.

[PaulF]

Grass needs cutting

But bike looking good!

[Tewdric]

You have learned well Grasshopper...

[GruB]

Master.
