One of my bikes has the bars above saddle height.

One of my bikes has the bars above saddle height.

Both of mine usually do, but the Dahon D7 sometimes has the bars lower - I find it better that way when climbing really steep hills.

Charlotte, what sort helmet cam did you use?

GoPro Helmet Hero Wide.  Straps on yer noggin like a Petzl head torch so you don't need to wear a bonce potty.

They now do an HD one as well, if you're interested

Wow nice!

[GruB]

That yellow safety sticker is an eye sore. Hopefully you can peal that off.
Shame they put one of those ugly plastic things in the rear wheel.
Looks cool with the Cruds on though.  Are they the 2nd version?

Nice!  Looks good with the triple and the Brooks and guards. Ripe for an autumn audax.

I think that's the best looking bike that I've seen on here and the guards actually improve the looks.
Nice one 

[Jurek]

My general getting around bike....

Blimey!

I used to have wheel carriers like that 

[Cudzoziemiec]

The wheel carriers look, to the eye of one who's never used them, as if they should be the other way up, with the opening facing up to avoid the possibility of the wheels being jolted out on a bump.

But the whole thing looks good.

[ed_o_brain]

All I can say with regard to that piece of brompton is...

OMG!

Here's my MTB .. finally shod it's sno tyres.

Finally with knobblies on:

[Feline]

ed, tell me  your bike isn't being held together by silver duct tape!

I was just looking at the pic and that's what I thought; that they were upside down. But in practice it doesn't matter as the wheels have to be clamped to the carriers, and tied to the handlebars with toe straps.

[Oscar's dad]

hubner, where did you get your bike stand?

[Torslanda]

ed, tell me  your bike isn't being held together by silver duct tape! 

Haven't you seen 'MythBusters'?

The whole goddamm bike is duct tape

[Pneumant]

Its a steel  Peugeot (online auction site bargain)    Bit of a winter bitza cobbled together in the traditional way, essentially 105 8speed with Tiagra mechs & hubs, a Campag Mirage chainset & BB & my fave SPD pedals - Look S2R's. The 12cm 3TTT Stem & bars are heavily discounted NOS parts from On One. 

This bike replaces an alloy/carbon compact geometry 6 yr old Dawes which I have been  planning to out for sometime now.  Bike looks and rides superbly. Close clearances so Crud RR2's have been fitted, think they are really  designed for compact geometry as the rear guard looked all wrong on this bike so I had to lengthen the front facing and shorten the rear facing parts of the rear mudguard to sort/make it look right!  Easy enough to do though and used one of the spare bits of guard supplied. 

[Moultonaught]

Pneumant, that's a rather lovely winter bitsa....

[eck]

Now that is nice, very well put together, if I may say so.  

[vorsprung]

Its a steel  Peugeot

And it is quite loverly...however...this photo....


...reveals that it is a fake! 
Think about it!
"Made in France"
should be
"Fabriqué en France"

The best thing for you to do to avoid further embarassment is to drop it round my place.  I'll look after it

Looks really great.

Hmmm, inspiration ....
