I've posted a couple of pics of my macinato on another thread but not on here I think, so here's one from yesterdays ride;

That's lovely, and a good pic too.

But... 1:4 and no spare brake?

Thanks! I've only ridden up that hill so far

The commuter has acquired a different frameset

New mudguards and bar tape on the fixed wheel:

It's a bit mucky but I couldn't be bothered to clean it for the third time in 15 days just for the photo.

Already said this on Flickr but it's worth saying again "Very nice"

Looks like it wants to be ridden.

White mudguards - they're just so right.

And I want to ride it. My favourite bike, it gets used for audax, commuting, touring and club runs. Only original parts are the frame, brakes, rear hub, saddle and headset. It's probably due a respray soon.

Seeing yours on the Elenydd convinced me they'd look good on my bike too. My wife hates them.

And here's my other Specialized - it's a 2010 Langster, with a few tweaks to enable the fitting of normal mudguards rather than say, Race Blades or the Crud road bike mudguards. It tends to be used for shorter commutes and general utility riding, hence the meat tenderiser pedals...

Any prizes for guessing the public convenience?

clarion · « **Reply #814 on:** 02 May, 2012, 08:21:40 pm »

Since it is named in a neighbouring thread, no.

Early 70s Pat Hanlon racing frame. Still tinkering with components but it works:

Splendid.

That's low. What is it?

jogler · « **Reply #819 on:** 29 May, 2012, 05:07:53 pm »

it looks like a track frame for a very tall rider,dontyathink?

clarion · « **Reply #820 on:** 29 May, 2012, 05:10:27 pm »

Origamist = very tall rider.

I'm concerned. He's fast enough on a Charge Plug. That bike must be only a fraction of the weight. I can't quite see the Reynolds transfer, but I think it's 853.

It's a Lee Cooper (via 14 Bike Co): http://customcycleframes.blogspot.co.uk/

Reynolds 853/0S main triangle, 725/0S stays.

Quite a bit slimmer than the Charge (the carbon fork makes a big difference) but then again, the Scharnhorst was probably lighter than a Charge Plug!

I saw Tim's lovely new bike (Oak Cycles) this morning at Clapham South:

Tim's got a new bike? That pink Roberts with the Rastafarian forks was one of the most distinctive on my commute!

But I see he has the red gold & green theme going on with the new steed. Good for him. He's a nice bloke.

I'm looking forward to seeing you on the new bike. Though I have to tell you that it was the consensus of the assembled Cyclchatters last night that, if you have a lighter bike, you'll just be a blur.

Probably time for an update:

An expensive AW3 remix (S3X+freewheel)

Genesis off-road fettle (fixed/free, but running fixed in the photo):

Slightly-crap phone photos, unfortunately.
