Loads of character - I like it! What's the bag on the front?

Rain gear, it's got Velcro on the top, I did wonder about a map case on there. The bag is a bit of a nonsense, but I really wanted to use the rack!

My fettling's finished so a photo of my Dawes Horizon in Audax mode. Need to work out why it takes a double shift to get from the middle ring from the granny but otherwise I'm happy enough :)


Bit of a perspective thing going on with the bars. They're not that massive in real life ???

How many people here don't like Marmite, but have purchased a jar purely for photographing their bikes?
I borrowed a jar.

Mine's more for using in sauces than neat on things like toast.

I think we inherited a jar from a visiting Marmite eater, or something.  Anyway, that went off (I know!) and got chucked, and I invested in a Marmite bidon for bike photography purposes.  Which worked well until I broke it.

But is it to be used indiscriminately or only on bicycles that are, in the photographer’s opinion, a bit like Marmite?

The odd thing is that I don't recall a photo of anyone posing beside their bike in a Marmite jersey.

Something to do with the trimming positions?

Is it needing a double shift when changing from middle to granny, or the other way round?

You are in a maze of twisty flat droves, all alike.

That's because it's really hard to get a bike into a Marmite jersey.
