You got quite a bargain there, Bloddy. Where from? (Not that I'm looking for another bike right now, but, hey... )

Blodwyn Pig · « **Reply #7976 on:** 16 January, 2016, 08:09:14 pm »

Swinnerton cycles, its now up to £1149 but others have it at £1349, and quite a few still at £1699

As promised, another Surly with Midge bars:

That looks like a bike for a rider who won't be stopped by anything short of an avalanche.

Nice Deano, adds 1x1 (toss between a troll) to n+1 list

my new N+1

Still setting it up, but had a little ride on it and it really is nice to ride.

Welcome to the club!

Why, thank you

I've lusted after one for a long time. Got mudguards and a few other bits to fit, then sort the riding position properly. I really do love the ride on these, nothing like any other small wheeler I've ridden.

Still sorting the position and the steerer needs cutting but we seem to be getting along.

FORGET THE BIKE! 2 years in the planning and that's all you've got to say?!

It's at the entrance to Bishop's Wood in Lipley near Market Drayton, from my DIY adventures yesterday to The Homely House of Scrumptious Oatcakes in Tean. Here

Two years. That's about how long I put into the thinking and final execution of my best bike (also a Sabbath). I considered it finished when I finally had the top of the steerer tube sawn off which must have been at least two years after I first started looking for the dream machine.

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #7994 on:** 25 January, 2016, 03:47:52 pm »

Nice bike, Si, but the forest's a bit sparse.

It'll go in to have some taken off the steerer in a couple of weeks, it'll still be left long though, an allowance for 50mm of spacers - bars not going to be higher than this, it'll be some time before the final cut is made, you can never put it back.

Cheers Cudzo, sorry, didn't get to spec the forest, I'd have probably gone for broad leaf

And nice bike BTW (but then I would say that).

Cheers, Si. see you later in the year, I hope - maybe you'll be on Ozzy!
