Looks good (although I'd put drops on it)

Nice looking fork, that Kona Retro.

My latest, a Decathlon SingleSpeed "b'Twin Vitamin"

Very orange, and I don't think I'm going to change a lot, since it only cost £70 in the first place!

The lights however are probably going in the bin, since they are pretty dreadful.

Didn't realise there was a special topic for SS reader's bikes.

The Roat Rat after 2 months, so far so good but not as maintenance free as I'd hoped.

Did you get the chicken to match the bike or vice versa?

The Bob J, now ridden in a bit and with a Barley fitted.

Throwing caution to the wind, today is a no-mudguards day. It's a little like having a no-knickers day in as much as it's exhilarating being just a little exposed back there.

Taken early this morning in the bike sheds - my customized F.W. Evans track iron, with Surly forks and Goldtec on Open Pro wheels. None more black:

Ooooerrrrr Mrs!

Nice thing you have there Charlotte!

Zoidburg · « **Reply #257 on:** 13 April, 2010, 08:04:21 pm »

There's a whole lot of headset spacer-ing going on.

Chris S · « **Reply #258 on:** 13 April, 2010, 08:36:16 pm »

What gear is that?

Have you been buying components from Teethgrinder?

Charlotte · « **Reply #259 on:** 14 April, 2010, 12:02:34 am »

48x17 Chris. And yes, Zoiders, I have a very impressive stack

clarion · « **Reply #260 on:** 14 April, 2010, 11:24:09 am »

Chain's a bit.. damn! No, it isn't

I think it might be though - just a little. Put a ruler against it on the screen - see? There's definitely a teensy weensy sag there...

Dare I comment on the parking & the number of ( bike ) spaces taken up ?

clarion · « **Reply #263 on:** 14 April, 2010, 08:55:49 pm »

No, I don't think you do dare.

I think that our dear lady Charlotte should be taken outside and flogged (for I know she appreciates this sort of thing). The flogging that she would enjoy would be her just reward for saving collegues from the carnage inflicted by the otherwise accesible wheel benders.

My thanks to Charlotte for her quick thinking and intelligent bike deployment

F.W. Evans

A very decent machine indeed, C.

Tempted to do the same with the mudguards.

border-rider · « **Reply #266 on:** 16 April, 2010, 07:33:56 pm »

The Matt Chester all kitted out for the Elenith tomorrow

(yes I do need to trim the mudguard stays

)

Tewdric · « **Reply #267 on:** 16 April, 2010, 07:42:12 pm »

Now I definitely won't be able to keep up with you!

Chris S · « **Reply #268 on:** 16 April, 2010, 08:18:28 pm »

Y'see - there it is, right there -> *points*

If I put Paselas on my Pompino it immediately looks like a Pee Wee Herman bike - but your MC just seems to soak it up and somehow still look cool

.

S'not fair!

mr endon · « **Reply #269 on:** 17 April, 2010, 06:48:47 pm »

Tell us about the light fittings adorning that Bagman.
Are they these Hebie ARC J82S SL Rack Fitting Light Bracket ?

rogerzilla · « **Reply #270 on:** 17 April, 2010, 06:58:12 pm »

Ah, the old ESGE bracket by yet another name.

mr endon · « **Reply #271 on:** 17 April, 2010, 07:13:38 pm »

Enlighten me, do. I can see how on of these might accommodate a light like this Busch & Muller Lumotec Cyo 60 LED Headlight , but how in the blazes can it be mated with one of these Cateye TL-LD600 super bright 5 LED rear light ?

Zoidburg · « **Reply #272 on:** 17 April, 2010, 07:23:25 pm »

A big stack of washers under that bolt, then fit the same way as with a seat post?

MSeries · « **Reply #273 on:** 17 April, 2010, 10:03:05 pm »

Just bolt the plastic bracket that the lamp slots into, onto the aluminium ESGE bracket, perhaps with a different bolt

border-rider · « **Reply #274 on:** 18 April, 2010, 11:43:57 am »

It uses the standard bolt it comes with. One hole in the bracket is threaded, and that limits the options, but the other isn't, allowing the bolt to go all the way in and - as Mr N says - bolt the plastic clip thing that you get with Cateyes directly to the bracket.
