from todays ride:

if there's an uglier bike out there, I've yet to see it...

The wheel to frame size ratio makes me think of the Giant Escape Mini

How about this...

May I be the first to register an interest when he's finished with it?

And may I be second? It won't be needed for a few years but I thought I should register my interest!

There's a 24"-wheeeled Dolan road bike in the comic's classifieds this week for £200.....

I have visions of the yacf bike (I now have a front mech for it so it should be 100% operational this week) looking a bit like that, eventually.

This one?

Now gone to the great bike shed in the sky - rusted away by 8 years of commuting in a salty Stornoway climate

Back tyre is the wrong way around

GruB · « **Reply #992 on:** 22 January, 2009, 02:51:20 pm »

I did warn you some time back if I remember correctly.

New Hope Pro III road wheels - replacing the white ones with black DT Swiss rims ( warranty job ). Hope were ace ace ace.

Old mudguards back on as the rear fixing broke coming home on Tuesday.

Do you ever get that feeling you're being watched?

My new bike. Many thanks to Mr Pumpé for his building help!

I flipped my stem. Apparently!

Unlike FixedWheelNut, I didn't take my photo in a public toilet!

Still to do:

Get SPDs.
Ride it.
Try fixed.

I don't like ally bikes. I don't like cyclocrossers. I don't like fixers with cantis. Wrong, wrong, wrong.

But that bike gives me an unnatural stirring that I can't explain

clarion · « **Reply #998 on:** 23 January, 2009, 08:58:32 am »

That looks like it wants to be ridden.

Is this a guess the bike competition? I recognise a Shimano 105 (5600) or Dura Ace (7800) compact double crankset and BB cups. That's about it!
