  • I'm afraid I put it on a frame that @TM just bought off me because it didn't come with one.
    Might have another though

  • Ha, you snooze you lose! If you do then great, no worries if not. Cheers.

  • A work of art! :) *ahem*

    But then :(

    I've never had toe overlap on any bike before, including this one. Hairy knee also.

  • Oh and what to do with an unused DT cable stop (see above)? Remove it entirely and have the boss sticking out?

  • Remove barrel adjuster but not mount.

    Lose barrel adjuster.

    Swear lots when you need it again.

  • Screw in one of these and look the shits (or just shit)!!

  • I could get matching dust caps

    I took the bike for a shakeout ride to work to find out which bolt(s) I'd failed to tighten. The answer was saddle.

  • At least it wasn't the stem! (I've done this, thankfully no comedy drama/horror crash followed, I just looked like a plonker but kept my actual face)

  • Ha, I also failed to tighten the bar clamp up properly but that became evident when I stepped on it a few days ago to check the gear shifting under load!

  • Gettin' jiggy with it while cutting the front rack struts

  • I like the blue one .. am I wrong? have I sinned?

  • You're a top, top guy. A joy and a tonic.

  • Thread Dredge as not sure where else to post this.

    The Orbit came to live with me last year and has been a fun ratty single speed commuting bike.

    Swapping bottle cages just now I noticed I seem to have broken it. Sorry @fizzy.bleach

    RIP Orbit. :(
