Yeah baby. Check out the new wheels.



A mamachari bike from the lovely Noah at http://mamachari.co.uk - basically a Japanese utility bike (means mum's bike as they are often seen sporting children's seats (up to two toddlers!), but ridden by all). Similar to a Dutch bike, but smaller and narrower.

Single speed, enclosed chain, mudguards, now sports a basket up front, rear hub brake, front dynamo light.

The thing is flipping hilarious - it is so much fun to ride (though I haven't been very far on it yet!).

Perfect bike for going to the shops and not having to wear cycling shoes etc. 

Love it already.
Right! What's next?

Ooooh. That sounds like a daft idea.  I am in!

Retired the frame from my fixed conversion project (done a year or so ago), as I discovered it was bent, and so bought a new frame, which I've now built up and ridden 2 audaxes on. Still needs a bit of fettling for rider position and mudguards.
Just turn me loose let me straddle my old saddle

Clarion, that is cooler than a snowman's cold bits!
I feel like Captain Kirk, on a brand new planet every day, a little like King Kong on top of the Empire State

What Bars are they?

I got to like the Stoker bars on my Pinarello before I sold it.  I'm thinking of something similar for the Orbit.
Some people say I'm self-obsessed but that's enough about them.

They are stoker bars.  Same as I have on my Solo, and the rear of our Galaxy tandem.

By "Stoker" bars are you saying Profile Aerowing or another, specific, brand?

Nice frame, but those bars?  :sick: Still, if it works for you ...

Anyway.

Surly 1x1 in gravel mode ...



Ready for Charlie the Bikemonger's Dorset Gravel Dash (or, given my usual rate of progress, Gravel Dawdle) at the end of May.

Works for me :)
It was going to be Midge or Mary but since I had a pair of drop levers in the bits box, Midge won ...

Very impressed with the tyres too - massively grippy. Here's hoping the sidewalls don't explode on me.

Bullhorns just work best for me.  I intend to get my tourer and tandem changed over.

Mmmm .... orange Troll.

I pointed out to someone on the Surly Facebork page that the bag was an SQR Tour ... wasn't aware that it was my old one, mind.
