My MkIII deliveroo bike, third in a year, first was upgraded to a fine Kona Dr Fine courtesy of Bolt OTP, which after a few weeks use was down graded to scrap by a careless driver. Anyway, some bits survived and the Sonder steely frameset is a fine home for them.

This is what I did with bikenrrd's Colnago Decor Brain Frameset:

Looks great!

I'm glad someone is riding it. It'd be in the garage unbuilt if I still had it.

Winter bike by PaulRide, on Flickr

It's been a very gradual evolution - this started out many years ago as a cheap singlespeed runabout, which was then loaned to my elder son who barely used it and left it outside in Leeds where it lost a wheel. I've now reclaimed it and kitted it out for occasional middle-aged rides around wet lanes in Bucks/Oxon. PDW mudguards wen on today, as did some slightly alarming 20mm tyres.

A suitcase

Full of bike

A quick shakedown test and it rides lovely. And my audax speed (remember those) is a nice straight chainline

Nice!!!

Yes, the new frame can take 26" wheels. I opted to 28mm gatorskins. Looks like it might take 40mm marathons with no mudguards

I built up this new Genesis ti frame for my commute about 5 commutes before the lockdown. The frame and wheels were new, everything else is well used which made it a tricky build. Nothing seemed to go on just right.

Ti gives a lovely ride, the 32 slicks help on the canal path too. Mudguards are excellent but the rough path pretty much make them a consumable esp when they're the longer heavier type. A shimano cassette with SRAM changer and mech works reasonably well. The brakes are excellent. TRP Hylex. Great feel at the lever, good power, maint free. Comfortable hoods too. Dynohub f.light B&M lumotec - Works nicely but the finish is flaking off it now. Not sure how waterproof it will prove to be. There are no bike sheds at my work. Tubus fly rack for my bag. All cleaned and serviced.

You may or may not know, but Terry Dolan ( Cougar) built the frames for several of the UK professional teams in the 80s. All sprayed up as something else of course. I had a Cougar 753 Falcon team frame that was the best handling frame I ever rode.

Ooh, I like that!

TimC · « **Reply #9013 on:** 14 April, 2020, 12:31:34 pm »

Similar to mcshroom’s Genesis, I built this Kinesis Gran Fondo Ti V3 last year with Shimano Ultegra Di2, Ritchey Classic bars, stem and seatpost, Brooks Cambium saddle and Hunt Aero Wide wheels, and Portland Design Works mudguards. It’s a wonderful ride!

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #9014 on:** 14 April, 2020, 02:25:05 pm »

Very nice!

After folding a chainring and making a mess of the downtube on my Triban I got a new frameset for the Deliveroo bike. Thought I'd take a pic before I ugly it up by fitting the mudguards.

Yes, I know, the grass needs cut.

Yay, that's two Deliveroo bikes on the same page

A suitcase

Full of bike

May I enquire what suitcase that is? An Airnamal-specific one? I ask as it looks bigger than the S&S soft or hard cases, which are equal-sided (at least I know the soft case is).

ElyDave · « **Reply #9020 on:** 21 April, 2020, 08:31:14 pm »

Yes, airnimal specific (or at least Airnimal sold and branded)

Yours is another piece of very shiny Titanium

The one before, though is sg37409's

My Genesis is Aluminium

TimC · « **Reply #9022 on:** 22 April, 2020, 12:16:11 am »

Oops! That's still a very fine bike. I've always like Genesis, and the N+1 urge is strong right now. But I have 9...

Oscar's dad · « **Reply #9023 on:** 22 April, 2020, 06:30:33 am »

10 is a nice round number Tim!

hatler · « **Reply #9024 on:** 22 April, 2020, 09:43:11 am »

Only in base 10. There's nothing stopping TimC switching say, to base 11, and then, ooo, maybe, base 12. Just to keep the numbers round you understand.
