My Orbit being attacked by a badger. In Brighton.

Are you sure that is a badger? It could be bishop Brennan.

I think needs much closer inspection

No, I was wrong it is a badger not a bishop.

Hello everybody. I'm a newbie here - these are 2 of my bikes and .

The LHT was built up mainly from the parts box, whereas the charge was also a frame build up courtesy of an old cannondale. V pleased with both of them.

The owner of the photo (you?) has disabled sharing of the photo on flickr. So there is no handy link on flickr to generate the BBCode that you need to share the photos on here.

They're both rather nice. The Surly has interesting bars, almost like an inverted North Road (would that make it a South Road?) and I like the brown tape too. And what fat tyres!

To get a pic on here, you need to grab the image address, ending in .jpg and put that between the img tags. At least that's what I do, I think there is another way with flickr too.

clarion · « **Reply #5031 on:** 09 January, 2012, 01:25:27 pm »

Well worth waiting for. That Juicer has nice simple lines and looks good, in an understated kind of way that really appeals to me.

tim58 · « **Reply #5032 on:** 09 January, 2012, 01:29:59 pm »

Thanks Cudzoziemiec, They're on one midges, tyres are kenda kommuter 26" x 2" - I find it a v comfy set up. The bar tape isn't anything fancy I think it was fizik - about 10 quid

I've been trying for about an hour to get the photos on - I think I'll have a break from it now ... and leave it for another day!

Clarion - I've been looking for a frame/forks for a while and in the end it was a toss up between the charge, a surly pacer and a genesis equilibrium. In the end I went for the charge because it's had ace reviews and I liked its skinny tubes and traditional looks.

Midge bars - noted!

Like this : -

Click on Actions in FlickR, then View all Sizes, then pick one, then right click the image to get its properties.

Nice bikes Tim58, and very good choice of saddle bag too

MattH · « **Reply #5036 on:** 09 January, 2012, 02:08:03 pm »

Nice bikes - I think you'll fit in here fine

A quick way of getting them onto here from flickr - just above the photo in flickr there is a share button. Click that, select "Grab the HTML/BB Code", then the BB Code button. Copy the code that it gives you and paste it here directly into your post. Very quick and easy.

You will come to learn that I am a fan of traditional looking bikes

I really like the look of the Juicer. I think it will complement nicely the Cross Check. Do you know if can you still get it as a frameset only?

tim58 · « **Reply #5041 on:** 09 January, 2012, 05:47:25 pm »

Hi Marcin, as far as I know Charge don't sell it as a frameset anymore, but Evans cycles had some old stock and I managed to buy the the last small but I think there was still a medium available.

Thanks, I'm afraid I need large though.

My Ridgeback in a badass urban setting (well, somewhere amongst the public schools near Dulwich Park

)

No, the tyres aren't flat - there's a concrete barrier in between.

C, what's the apparatus on the seat- and chain-stays?

PaulF · « **Reply #5046 on:** 11 January, 2012, 04:55:02 pm »

Looks like a stand to me?

clarion · « **Reply #5047 on:** 11 January, 2012, 06:14:20 pm »

Yup, that's a propstand.

I have the same one on my Fuji, purchased at the Sem Fed. It might look uncool but its bloody handy, especially when loading panniers onto the bike or wanting to park your bike next to your tent in the middle of a field

clarion · « **Reply #5049 on:** 11 January, 2012, 06:19:59 pm »

Very very useful. Just a PITA that the clamps are for oversized Al tubes and not slender steel loveliness.

It is worth having it, if only for those moments when one passes a roadie on the commute who then clocks the propstand, Carradice and chunky rider.
