Cor, that's well smart that is.

Clarion ...and still my favourite bike to ride (and oldest, I've had the frame 35 years now)

Lardy/Clarion - yes, Bagman 2 Sport

New bike Wednesday

by davelodwig, on Flickr

Single speed Day One Disc, Brooks B17 standard, Brooks Bar Tape, Exposure Revo, Dyno Hub, and Red Eye.

She's a sweet ride, though it's strange riding in drops for the first time.

I say Dave, that's very nice indeed!

Though I'm not a fan of this fad for brown, that is a very smart looking machine.

Looks nice Dave

Came with it, when I opened the box my first thought was that's a bit bling.

I'm quite impressed so far with the Exposure Revo. While I'd wanted another Schmidt dynamo the little Shutter precision one that comes with the lamp is quite nice looking and runs well. The rear light plugs into the back of the lamp and seems to run for ages on it's stand light.

Not seen in this photo is the Toppeak Modula Java cage I've added to make transporting of the morning tea easier.

That looks nice, nightrider, very nice.

Out of interest, what do you think of the paint job?

nightrider · « **Reply #1038 on:** 26 November, 2013, 12:50:27 pm »

The paint job is great and about on par with Mercian.I chose Dave Yates because he is now based in Conningsby in Lincs only about 50km away.Only time will tell how durable it is.

Oh yes, Longboard's and BEAMS O'DETH to be fettled, along with personal fittings.

Interesting. The (front) Choosen hub has locknut stubs with flats, so in theory the stub orientation has to be one of two to fit in the dropouts - but then they've also made the stub asymetric in length, so for full engagement of the bolt heads centrally within the dropout you can only orient the stub in one direction.

WTF is that about? Any compressive force pinching the 3mm (below-axle centre) depth front-rear width of the dropout is likely to arise from scenarios involving much more destructive issues.

Peregrine in singlespeed mode

My current commuter in wet-winter-darkness mode*:

Genesis Day One Disc frame (a prototype, bought off the 'bay) with XT wheels and hydraulic discs. XT chainset. 42x16 and 28mm tyres giving a 70-inch gear. The clearance between rotor and fork blade was too close on the original prototype fork it came with (about 1mm and occasionally the two would rub when the fork flexed under heavy braking

) so I have retrofitted a Planet X cheapo fork. Blackburn disc-specific rack and SKS guards both fit fine; no bodging required.

Singlespeed. I can't be bothered to learn a whole new set of skills at my age!

*Which it runs pretty much all year, TBH.

Lovely bike. But do try fixed

Nah, then I'd have to buy Converse trainers and a tweed flat cap, too.
