Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

With mudflaps finally fitted, I think my commuter qualifies in the thread.

Spotted in Edinburgh

And at Aldi in St Andrews

^ lady was casually carrying an entire small child on the back of this one, definitely functional

Pics not working (at least for me).

Very good. How are those tyres? They look supple.

Thanks!
I like them. Belongs in the cheap and cheerful department, Continental Contact Speed.

Went for the 26" 2.00 version, still playing around with air pressure but they seem to roll perfectly fine in my experience. And quiet, which was something I was hoping for.
Not a huge fan of the styling.

oops! hopefully this works :)

yea can see them now..

the yellow orbea one looks fun 🙂

I love this a lot.

That almost mirror my new bike.

650b, semi compact geo, straight fork, mechanical brakes, SRAM, pass and stow rack, front Dynamo, full frames bags, 1 by, etc.

That is the best place for an ass saver

Does anyone have their eye on the Singular Peregrine? I think it might end my enteral search for a posh Surly Straggler.

although

Edit: it does have the better fork now with the relaunch

buy a crust or any other QBP brands, salsa, All city

@PhilDAS mine will have a sexy build, and maybe a fancy repaint at some point. But I see your point, ha.

@amey if you could find me a Lightning Bolt on this side of the pond, I'd snap your hand off. But, that's unlikely.

Almost completed the QBP thing.

I had the 520! Happy student days mountain biking in Auvergne.
The 510 was 3 main tubes cromo, with full LX groupset as a special edition. The 520 was main tubes, stays and forks cromo but stx RC groupset. Both in same price range. The hours spent with my friend debating which one to get... We went for the better frame.
Decathlon had introduced a titanium frame that year too, sub 10kg mountain bike was mind blowing to us back then...
