I'm off-the-scale colour-blind, and for years I thought my favourite colour was blue, but people (parents, siblings, colleagues, socio-economic-sexual partners) kept saying how purple my socks/shirts/jackets/everything was until I finally got the message.

I adore your bike.

It's definitely on the bluer side of purple - depending on the light, it can look more blue or more purple. Or blurple.

All you need, now, phanta is a Burgos-BH Jersey or an EF-Education First one.

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #8952 on:** 06 April, 2019, 12:10:47 pm »

Or a Go Vegas jersey!

Very purple

I also rather like Ian's new Surly.

New here,here's my current bikes:-

I also have a cheap Carrera TDF for the Turbo.

I like the Boardman. Nice shed too. And extra marks for pedal alignment. But no Marmite!

(it's okay, that's just a forum in-joke. Welcome!)

Yes. Yes, this really is a Cervelo TT bike with a Brooks saddle on it.
Let the piss-taking commence...

Ridiculous. I can’t see any marmite!

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #8959 on:** 07 May, 2019, 09:48:54 am »

Flying banana. Well, it is a well-worn Brooks.

Paul · « **Reply #8960 on:** 07 May, 2019, 10:20:40 am »

I was wondering whether the hammocking might be a good thing on a TT bike, because of the position on the bike.

Tidy workshop - what's that about?

My steel bike, in 'stealth' mode - awaiting new mudguards. The first time I've ever ridden it without mudguards; definitely felt faster...

with 32mm Paselas (on DT Swiss RR440). Good rollers, and pretty comfy, esp @ lower psi (~70F/80R).

I'm not surprised. He's got his pump out and look at the size of it, phwoar! I don't think it passes the "Cornwall test" either.

The Silver Shopper.......and a splash of that sculptor bloke, wassisname?

Got a Son dyno on it now.

Haha.

Did it for me too, when I'd logged out. I've moved the pics to my 'pro' flickr account. They were on my recent free flickr account, for bike/forum stuff only, and I can only think flickr autodetected my gory/bloody knee & thigh photos content from a recent road interface, as something else.

Either that or the Audax tag had another meaning.

Yesterday I paid tribute to Steve with a visit to a special place.

Image looks to be protected / private - I'm guessing.....Marsh Gibbon? The sign with the village name on the picket fence/gate thing as you enter the village?

Well guessed Jurek. Photo is on google photos, so you may need to have signed in to that to see my photo. I’ve not yet found the ideal hosting solution.

Hello Paul.
I did sign in, but still had the 'No Entry' logo appear on the screen.
Privacy settings? Although, from the above, it would appear that at least Kim was able to view it.

I was, but it's now vanished.

That gear looks huge: kudos to your quads!
