Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

Good idea. Yep there are canti bosses and I actually have a old supermarket basket I found in the streets ages ago.

Less elegant but still functional.

I guess small jubilee clips would be the best combo for that?

Or maybe if I could find some ply board use that as a base and screw into plates below?

No experience of that particular pump, but usually those type work best with at least a pip on the back of the head tube or a small head tube and narrow tubing.

Anything with a larger tube diameter would probably want a strap around the TT to secure it

i got my nitto from kinoko a few months ago on sale and was about 35 beans.. there's a dia compe pass hunter on fresh stripe now tho-40ish quid with delivery? http://www.freshtripe.co.uk/Freshtripe/Mudguards%20&%20Racks_files/DC%20ENE%20Rack-1.jpg

The DC ones only fit to specific brakes

Cheers mate.

It's obviously functional in the sense that it's a bike and you can probably ride it.

But other than that I've never understood that bike. I always assumed the owner just had loads of $ and a very niche set of preferences.

The rear cable routing by the seat collar looks a bit tight.

Badly fitted tyres as well (wonky valve).

Haha! All true.

"Lars Georg Swerin, a Swedish farm worker, takes his family on holiday on his modified tandem bike. He's pictured here with his wife Wiran and his four children all looking quite comfortable."

That'll be me in about 20yrs time. Where you finding these old pics?

cant remember the other

Ta very much. Will have a looksee later.

Very nice!

I've owned a number of Carradices for a long time and yet I've only just tried one as a bar bag. Pretty much perfect. Mini rack underneath to tackle the swing/sag (waheyyyyy).

Saw this outside Edinburgh Bike earlier, saddle looks more level now. Looks like a lotta fun

disc brakes + dt shifters = :/

disc brakes + dt shifters.

Evry tme.

Thanks @dicki for the D521 rims. Fitted last week I've been riding this almost exclusively.
Has pedals with different stack heights for biek fit reasons, one is QR for securitty(?).
Wider rims needed modded pad holders in rear - want swisstop blue for rear .
£4 fat tyres now don't do that pedalling on jelly feeling out of saddle - 25-45psi.
Total cost for bike about £300 - some of that was spent years ago, loads of bits are used.

Shame it looks so ugly :(
3:1 bricks not enough to save it.
Rides really well!

i love it

Yes I am feeling very pleased, you can probably tell!
Until I added things up I kept thinking '£10 frame :. beater'
Now with the parts its my idealish bike. (XT cassette, 9speed index, avid ultimate front brake, ceramic rear rim)
And I can drop the stem for longer rides. peasy.
