thanks for the flowers !

It's a shame about those go pros buggering up the aero

Clean. But that bar angle tho...

cockpit is a mess but other than that...

What ???

Reddit always delivers. Holy shit

Greetings folks,

I went down to the lovely Brixton Cycles on Saturday morning to have the new flight deck installed. So took all the new bling down there.. I knew I was carrying some serious kit as before the ticket had even been written out, pics of the stem were posted on Instagram by Junior. John then did the honours in the workshop.

For the spotters I now have the following

Bonavia Cycles custom stem

Fizik Cyrano R1 Chameleon carbon handlebars

Brooks apple green leather bar tape

​TRP drilled brake levers. Left hand lever removed to comply with my zen -like state of only having exactly what is necessary...

So I left Brixton Cycles in a state somewhat like having a lovely new pair of shoes, I couldn't stop looking downwards.....

The stem is incredibly stiff and rock solid and having drop handlebars means I now have a much more comfortable ride.

For those not just lookin' at the bike....​

If gardening is your thing, our fennel and hollyhocks have been particularly good this year...

If diy is your thing. We had a new skim coat applied to the front wall recently and then repainted it which has really set the garden off nicely...

So I'm absolutely delighted with the whole project. In no particular order.... the transatlantic nature of it, the look, the comfort, the improvement, the beauty, the win.

I rode up Church Lane this morning feeling as if I was in some sort of epic Rapha advert, well maybe a hairier version thereof...

Aiming to up the fitness now and then get some big rides in for 2017.

Peace and love,
Tim

Keep on cycling folks....

Tim, your bike is unique and you are a resplendent being, but please could you post about it here instead:
Current Projects chat and miscellany
You could even start a thread for it. Didn't it used to be metallic pink?
Keep pedallin' mate.

FYI, it is considered bad etiquette to post your own bikes in this thread let alone posting 4 separate posts. And if that wasn't enough, your bike hardly qualifies for this thread, it would be better off in the current projects section or the functional bikes thread.

When shit kicks in on Monday...

I think Tim should be allowed, it's a great bike.

I think anyone who has met Tim doesn't mind.

Then I demand that this exception shall be extended to @skrtluv as well.

Oh dear and Monday was all going so Noice-ly....

Olly-eave it where it stands thanks as I'm unable to Sumo-ve it.

As you were people, I've got to etiquette back to work or I'll be in a spotter bother.

Peace and love to one and all....

Etiquette time....

I know that manners maketh man...

5 days ago in post number #99059 you said this...

Sig_Arlecchino in reply to @JAHtim

I will send some more once full new flight deck installed...
'We'll take you up on that! Anticipation levels are sky high!'

and above in post number #99108 you are criticising me for having done what you had previously asked / encouraged me to do....

Peace and love to you.

I was being sarcastic. Sorry for the confusion tho!

ed. after reading the comments referring to you as a legend of london's cycling scene, I took the liberty to google you and found this: http://brixtoncycles.co.uk/content/july-2014-tim-jacques
It seems like you do a lot of great work and I appreciate your irie state of mind. I hope I didn't offend/confuse you with my sarcastic comment earlier, have a great day!

anyway, back to porn-worthy bikes I'd say. If Jeremy's Stuttgart is here, his Kelme deserves to be here, too.
