The saddle might be a bit sticky.

Discs . . . should have discs.

Good choice

Aye, good choice.

Looks like I'm going to have to do some cycling...

... cause apparently my new marmite rack is too big for the worktop.

Stairgate's a bit slack!

I wonder if this means we might see you on the occasional Saturday/Sunday/Tuesday/Wednesday (other days may be available) ride?

After the demise of my Van Nic Yukon (see here https://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=70387.0 ) I have decided not to replace like with like and instead bought a Lynskey Sportive frame and built it up with the parts from the VN. That is, apart from the chainset which is a new (as in unused) Campag Super Record Triple from the secret parts stash with the rings repaced with TA 51/40/26 combo and a new cassette (Veloce 13/29) and chain.
The Lynskey has a shorter top tube and longer head tube (although I'll see no benefit from the latter as I had to reduce the stack height re-using the VN forks). Not had chance to ride it yet but I do think it looks rather nice

The new Van Nic Yukon (54cm) frame will be up for sale at discount soon.

I've written a review of the bike here: http://www.twoberries.com/?p=93

I have cracked yet another Titanium frame, this time my Sabbath September.

Great service from Sabbath cycles - replacing the cracked frame for free in under a week.

Now built up with the parts from my old Sabbath frame. A much better looking frame than the old dull original.

Looks like you've crashed into a wall

Ah! That's better!

Very nice looking!

(something wrong with you height or width value!)

76 miles yesterday and 46 today on my first Leather Saddle, and I can still walk!!

That's one hell of a Kryptonite D-Lock.

My British Eagle - in some sort of Audax form now. 531ST, 61cm frame, Rigida Sputnik rims. Trying my Zefal Hpx pump in this position since I have a pump boss and it frees up the other bottle postion; have a cable tie just in case that large pot hole dislodges.

I just spotted the shark's fin chainstay protector on that British Eagle! Properly retro-tastic! (bet unused XT ones are worth decent money for the retro MTB crowd now!).

Well spotted.

It's as old as the bike.

One in original packing from a few days ago...

Proper bike Andy.

I miss mine. It was a very civilised way to travel a long way briskly.

Needs a Barley though, in green and tan.

JordanCarroll · « **Reply #6391 on:** 06 June, 2013, 03:07:02 pm »

Ahh, I haven't posted these here yet,
My George Longstaff Audax in it's current guise (although have relegated that brooks to my fixed bike, and replaced it with a Selle An-atomica for more layback)

and my fixed wheel Pearson,

marcusjb · « **Reply #6392 on:** 06 June, 2013, 05:44:46 pm »

(the yellow Longstaff is lovely)

You look to have made a real effort with setting the bikes up for these photos - cranks level, valves down (certainly on the Longstaff - hard to tell on the Pearson). The photo police might have to look a little harder than normal before ripping your composition apart! No Marmite - but that rule does seem to be mainly for brand new bikes in kitchens??!?!?

The lid of the bar bag on the Longstaff looks a little untidy - I think more effort could have been made

Joking aside, the Longstaff looks lovely, I like yellow. JordanCarroll is obviously so that bike would fit me!

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #6394 on:** 07 June, 2013, 10:11:41 am »

I don't like yellow, but that Longstaff makes it look good!

She doesn't get out much, so, while I was waiting for my meeting on Clapham Common early this morning, naturally I asked Whsh the Woodrup to pose.

Please note the valves almost aligned (yes, I do use collars and dustcaps - wanna make summat of it?), and the pedals as aligned as they could be and still support the bike. Apologies for my lack of forward planning, as I left the marmite at home.

Clazza, clazza, classic n00b error there- it's facing the wrong way. We need to be able to take the mick out of your grubby sprockets.

clarion · « **Reply #6399 on:** 08 June, 2013, 09:25:11 pm »

I'm left handed and don't care

My sprockets are shockingly grubby, though. You've probably been saved from a real fright.
