And, most important, it's now a bike that's easy for Mel to use, and she feels safer and in control. Job done.

Precisely

Catchy name! Certainly feels well put together - worked it out to about 30 years old I think.

Help !

This is where I was going to put pictures of my new bike.
I've put the pictures on Flickr and then followed the instructions to put them here and all I get is the dreaded red cross.
Any suggestions please ?

I realise that it will be a PICNIC issue

Nice bike

Get the full size Flickr Image on screen. Right click it. Properties, Copy the Address. Then paste this address into your post and put the image tags either side of it. Like this : -

{img}Insert address here{/img}

Except you have to replace the curly brackets with square ones - [].

So here it is, finally.
Finally in that it took Enigma 10 months to make it- Mark Reilly "I think we can comfortably have it ready by the end of September for you" and the several hours it took me to post pictures here.

I should add that cycling gear always makes me look fat, even if I'm not. Which I'm not. Honest.

Indoor picture. Sorry about the mess.

Thanks for the advice with the posting.
They don't make it easy do they ? Or is it just me ?

On a roll now:-

Chocolatebike 2 and Helen's MTB en-route to Guadalest:-

Our 1st Col (OK it's a little one but you have to start somewhere):-

Andrew Br · « **Reply #1132 on:** 24 February, 2009, 12:57:30 am »

My old MTB. It did 109 miles last year (all on-road), 1.5 miles this year.

Interesting machine, Chocolatebike! Enjoy

What do you think of the ti fork?

Enigma's seatstay's a bit slack

Andrew Br · « **Reply #1135 on:** 24 February, 2009, 09:34:55 am »

I've only done about 45km on it so far and it's a case of getting used to the whole bike so some of the subtleties aren't evident yet. My overall impression is that the ride is superb and the road buzz is much reduced- the improvement was most apparent when I rode the Super Galaxy again after the Enigma.
So to answer your question Simon, I dunno yet $:-\$

Am loving the disks chocolatebike - and the frame looks so good all kitted out. Very Smart Indeed.

From this:

to this:

Click image for bigness.

Although the lights and GPS all got moved from the Pompino, I nicked the bottle cages from the Super Galaxy, and the mudguards, rack & computer are new.

It's not quite in pristine condition, since I've used it for three days of commuting and one WARTY, but for some reason the camera managed to loose the images I took after 0.02 miles of use, so this is after 150 miles instead!

Note the yellow valve caps, I thought it was very cool of Planet-X to supply those!

Ah well, they still look nicer than bog standard black ones.

Radical saddle angle there, TimO!

No, I thought we could have a little game guessing. There is a clue in one of the photos. Another is that it wasn't very expensive.

Chris N · « **Reply #1146 on:** 27 February, 2009, 09:20:57 am »

It's a Ribble, isn't it? One of their budget winter bikes? Looks pretty good!

clarion · « **Reply #1147 on:** 27 February, 2009, 09:25:28 am »

Blah, that is class, but why didn't you go for black mudguards?

boudinnoirsurvélo · « **Reply #1148 on:** 27 February, 2009, 10:23:14 am »

A few night Kaff shots...
