Rando, this morning.

Top. Proper Bike. Like the upgrade to STI. I'd obviously have put bar ends on it, but the Randonneur is one of those bikes that could pretty much go on forever.

Unusual choice of bartape, but hey- it's yours, so enjoy it

I think grey works - I had brown previously to match the Brooks. But I prefer the grey. Anything is better the the bright yellow I first had on it!

Yellow is Rong.

Did the downtube decal come from zazzle? I think I might need to buy one come payday.

I've had it so long, I can't remember. I think it was via a US seller on eBay.

My road bike - ready for a weekend away playing in the hills:

OK, I see the drivetrain & brakes...

...where's the rest of the bike?

It's the weird colour scheme that freaks me. Every time you try to operate one of these weird black controls, which are labeled in black on a black background, a small black light lights up black to let you know you've done it. Hey, what is this, some kind of galactic hyper-hearse?

clarion · « **Reply #3158 on:** 19 May, 2010, 02:20:59 pm »

It's like, how much more black could this be? and the answer is none. None more black.

Ah, the Hitchhiker's Guide to Spinal Tap. Wonderful! Nice bike too...

StuAff · « **Reply #3160 on:** 20 May, 2010, 11:33:28 am »

Yup, rather nice Charlotte! My possible n+1 (Pedal to Paris reserve frame, but n+1 if I can help it!!) is black too..

Raleigh 653 (1989 team replica), yesterday.

clarion · « **Reply #3162 on:** 21 May, 2010, 09:46:43 am »

New pics of an old favourite - my 1980/1 Woodrup Giro Custom. It's been off the road since some cack-handed maintenance by a bike shop, and I wanted to change everything over from Campag Record to Shimano 600 Arabesque.

I haven't succeeded in my aim. I can't get an aero 600 seatpost in 27.0mm, and the brakes & hubs are 105, but are lovely. I just need to swap to my new cassette and tighten the cones at the back so the chain doesn't slip and there's no play on the wheel. It rides so much better now. Lovely bike, she is.

Her name is Whsh.

I know. Lawnmowing's a bit slack. But the shallots are coming up in the raised bed

A couple of years ago I sold my thirty year old Gios (which was third hand and slightly too big) and promised myself I would build another bike that I couldn’t really justify but was going to have anyway! I have been using my Titanium Van Nicholas Yukon which I have been impressed with, as I intend to keep this replacement bike for a long time Titanium was a logical choice. I actually bought it two years ago but couldn’t afford a few of the items I really wanted, I originally fitted cheaper wheels and seat pin for example; two years later I can and it’s finally finished.

Van Nicholas Chinook, Campagnolo Record 10 Speed with Record Red levers (all my other bikes are 10 so didn't want 11), Mavic Ksyrium SSL SL, Black wheels

And I think that workshop might be bigger than my house

It's definitely a LOT tidier!
