Apologies for the rubbish camera phone pic. Couldn't find the Marmite, so I improvised... 

New N+1 thanks to Cyclescheme. Lovely ride home from Oxford at dusk.
Currently showroom stock apart from the  Brooks C17 (fitted when I got home, not tried it yet) XL bottle cage, and some stainless bottle cage bolts.

Future plans: some on-one Mary bars, ESI grips, bottle cages (as yet undecided which ones), and some more stainless bolts... It's fab! Am very very pleased!

Bet it's been a long week

Out on it tomorrow?

[Moultonaught]

A stupidly long week!

Sadly a ride tomorrow is unlikely. Tomorrow is a trip down to Sussex for a family lunch. My daughter's, my brother's, his wife's and my mother's birthday all within a week and a half! And then a report to work on when I get back home....    But lunch and seeing family will be nice 

BTW, the fat bikes in the bike shop were loooooovely!

Bob spent the summer as a fixed, now back to gears and fitted a new stem and tyres today. Need to get some lights and a mudflap fitted and it'll be ready for winter training

With the weather forecast as it is at the moment wouldn't it be better equipped with floats and a sail an outboard.

My N+1 has arrived!

2014 Pinnacle Dolomite Two, in gloss black, size XL:



Still in stock format, need to add mudguards, durano plussises and dyno front wheel from my tourer, and figure out how to mount the dynamo lamp since this bike has dual pivots.

Looking forward to a first ride at the weekend!

Yes, I know the cable for the fireplace is a bit slack.....

Ooh, that looks like my not-Tifosi's big brother!

I have done a bit more building on the Klein, so maybe it's time for another photo.

DA 7700 bits and fancy pants wheels scavenged off another bike (oops).  Needs a bit more tweaking, but seems pretty much what I need size-wise, and the paint is OK I suppose.

[Jurek]

Nice bike.
Nice wheels.
Paint's a bit tarty, if you ask me

Correct on all counts!

But is it as tarty as this?

I think the colour in the first pic is nicer than that in the second pic, but I am quite colour-blind. I have purple leanings, apparently.

Which photo is more representative?

And what's it made from? I'd guess aluminium. I think it looks nicer at the front end than the back. The stays look bigger than they need to be, but I'm a steel fan.

I completely love the paint work and the KLEIN lettering. I'd probably buy the frame (everything else being equal - which it never is) just for that. I think the DA stuff works very well with it. Despite my campag preference, something about the frame seems to suit shimano.

But more than anything else (and I'm sorry if I've missed this elsewhere) how does it feel?

Whoa - there's a real contender for the Gay Disco title!

I've not yet been out on it, so who knows?  It's an alloy frame with carbon fork, and as for the colours, well it changes depending on the angle, ranging from olive through rich green, navy blue through to purple.  The first photo is under a "cool daylight" bulb.

  WANT! That's one of the nicest paintjobs, ever.

I'm sure I've seen TVR's wearing that paint

[tiermat]

Me too, and several Nissans...

My new Thorn Raven, almost ready. Bits carried over from my Raven Catalyst - the frame & forks of which are now surplus to requirements due to me preferring something that was a little more touring orientated. I can't ride it just yet, so the steerer tube has still to be cut, and the Tubus racks fitted. I may be biased, but I think that for all Thorn's crimes against velocopedic elegance, it has a certain functional 'rightness' about it

Surly 1x1 (formerly interzen's)



Fixed, of course. Cables are due to be trimmed when I can get it down to the LBS and they aren't too busy.

[Torslanda]

Me likey . . .

[interzen]

I like, too.
Plus it's nice to know that it's gone to a good home.

(as a side note, I thought that the cables on Pugsley were comically long after I fitted the hydraulics, but that's got me well and truly beat Also, it's nice to know that the 'fruitcakes who ride fixed off-road' community here has now probably doubled in size ... )

[Cudzoziemiec]

Looks good - quite neat, despite the cables, in a blackly shiny way.

[interzen]

In the interests of continuity, here's what replaced the 1x1 .. I'm sure I've posted this before, but what the hell:



Salsa El Mariachi fixed in 'overnighter' mode (this was taken just before I went on a training ride in August - wrist breakage means that it's not doing an awful lot at the moment)
