Detestable, innit? It needs getting rid of, anyway. Were I sure of staying on beyond the end of the year I'd be nagging the crap out of the landlord. As it is, I'd sooner not have the hassle.

Don't you hate it when burgulars trash your house like that?

Maybe I need to delete that photo.

Classic male response.

The correct response is of course "I need to tidy up"

Che · « **Reply #679 on:** 14 October, 2008, 03:04:30 pm »

Thanks for that, Lee. Tidying up has, in fact, been long since done. Had relatively little impact on the photo, however.

Is GruB still alive? We haven't had a photo of his bike for, ooohhh, at least 24 hours.

Mmm, Che. Your bike is, er, 'distinctive'

SMIDSY that you bastards!

Che · « **Reply #682 on:** 14 October, 2008, 03:32:12 pm »

Yeah. Horrid, isn't it. Great frame, though. Rides really nicely. It will get a respray at some point, no doubt. It does need it, and not purely because of the horrid colour.

As for the lurid yellow everything else, it all lived on a marginally more conservative frame until recently.

Thanks for the reminder. Just installing the Stelvios on the MonstaThorn. More colour co-ordination so a photo will have to be had.

On the subject of colour co-ordination, would you like a photo of my blue Dave Yates audax bike, with its gorgeous new Vittoria Open Pavé Evo CG tyres?

No?
Thought not.

Go one, you know it makes sense.

eck · « **Reply #686 on:** 14 October, 2008, 09:48:34 pm »

Oh, ok then GruB, just for you.

Tasteful or what, eh?

They are actually superb tyres, despite the colour.

Ok, your turn.

GruB · « **Reply #687 on:** 14 October, 2008, 10:16:28 pm »

Oh, okay

Come on Eck, you need to rise to Grub's colour co-ordinated challenge. Get the bike resprayed green, and then get some matching bar tape to finish it off.

Then all you need is the matching trampoline.

Oh I had some Vittoria tyres like that. Bright green with a maroon frame.

But decent tyres...

On the subject of colour er, co-ordination, I stumbled across this on flickr:

rogerzilla · « **Reply #691 on:** 16 October, 2008, 06:04:21 pm »

I like that. I've just bought some shiny orange bar tape for the Thorn.

It looks like a late 1970s Raleigh Record Ace, nice to see it soldiering on, too many have been butchered by the fixie converters, I had a fish around on Flickr and found a 1982 RRA just like mine used to be, thanks for the tip-off.

Apparently, it's a Flying Scot, Damon.
