Names and faces to bikes

great to see you on here dude

Aluminium

@CHUG_IT my mate has got one of those Spesh touring things. Cracking bike. So comfy. You feel like you carry on riding it forever until you died.

I've been disappointed by mine though, however mainly because of the poor quality of the welding and of the finishing for the price I paid. I'll have to be more careful next time.

What frame was that debo?

There is a photo few pages ago, it is a Cinelli mystic rats...

That's a shame.
Both of my S-Works ally frames have beautiful fish scale welding and the Cervelo is even tidier. I quite fancy stripping the FSR back to bare metal and clear coating it.

Hey buddy, good to see a few people are still around! Are you still in London? Is Teenslain in Australia now? Mentalist.

Hope all is well :)

Yeah man it's super comfy straight out of the box. A great bike and versatile too!

Erm, that's my problem, I don't find the fish scale beautiful. I prefer a neat or invisible one. The cervelo seems very tidy indeed. Basically what would be lovely is an alluminium frame but with the finish of a brazed steel one :)

I hear ya. Each to their own.
I come from an engineering background and have done some welding so can appreciate the work that goes into welding aluminium which melts at a very low temperature.
I like it.
You're right though, the T1 is the tidiest of the lot.

I am new in London so I'd thought I'd do this once more. This time with proper face-photo. Say hi (Mads) if you see me trying to get around the city in the wrong side of the road on this:

Perhaps looking like this:

...the narcissistic money shot:

Did you say you're in wood green? You'll have to start coming to norths or easts

I will... when I figure out what it is. Guess it relates to having beers in a pub?

It does indeed. http://www.lfgss.com/microcosms/558/

A little update on bikes.
Somehow it felt like I had perfect variety of bikes last year, but I managed to let most of them go. Lucky to get one of the Rourkes back and still need to fix the road one.

For now this is what I've got:

Dave "De Rosa" Yates Reynolds 631 rainy day commuter.

Samson Reynolds 853 sunny day commuter.

14Bike Co. ESB fillet brazed Reynolds 631 OS beasty commuter.

Rourke twins waiting for a better days.

Face is sort of same, just with extra scars and a bushy beard covering them.

^ like (and slight envy)

Newly arrived winter iron, swapped the bars out and fresh wrapped 'em

Me and me biek
