Am currently banned from n+1 - we are on a one in, one out policy now. Grrrrrr.

No problem. One new bike in, one SO who inflicts unreasonable rules out. Got to get priorities right  :)

A couple more pictures of my new Horizon, now with all the silver bling added :)







At some point i will get pictures with a proper camera rather than just phone shots

It's very near you, down Wissenden Lane on the way to Smarden.

Excellent news!
Many?

For my part I suffered the indignity of coming off the new VN.
Told the rider in front of me to take the next right, then looked back to ask for someone to mark the junction when the rider in front of me stopped (too early) :(

Only 25 but they were a revelation. The stiffness around the bottom bracket and the wheels in comparison to my 2004 Cannondale R800 makes a phenominal difference when climbing.

Hope the VN is unscathed!

Barely enough. Positively spartan, in fact.

Brown leather bar tape would put your bike in my top 10 most elegant YACF bikes I think.

It's tempting me to get a Brooks Swift for my Condo Fratello.

Thanks,
it's actually a Spa saddle and you're right about the bar tape of course.

Hello!

Using this as a kind of introduction.
I'm a regular poster over at lfgss (mostly bike tag), but I don't ride a fixed or singlespeed, so I decided to sign up here.

Here are my bikes:

Cadex ALR-1 (bonded alu) just sold this frame a couple of months back  :-\ :



Cadex CFR-2 (bonded carbon) In love with this bike!:




Looking forward to using the forum!

The VN remains unmarked.

Oops.  Hope the Jurek is unscathed too.
Thank you. The Jurek is bruised of knees and slightly sprained of wrist.
I'll live.
No holes in the Assos!  :thumbsup:

Good.  That would be a pain in the Assos wallet.

Nice bikes, btw, Raid.  Rather different and interesting.

Charge do brown leatherette tape for about a tenner.  It would make that bike look a million dollars.  Two if you also fitted Bouthard mudgards.

I've just fitted some of this tape to the tourer further up the page: -

Looks very nice fitted (in white anyway)
