think I saw you down Anerly yesterday
was trying to figure out what frame that was... glad it wasn't just my bad eye sight

Lime Crux? That’s rad

Yeah eerily dry at the moment.. Unique conditions all around

That wasn't you that I shouted "Yo, Lachy" at wearing the EF casquette was it? Either way, cool ass MF that.

Aye, the slightly more permanent remnants of my Muddy Hell costume - Drunk East London Lad on a Lime Bike.

Hah yeah thats was me 😅
Catch you around sometime down that way 🤙

Lol. The lime branding is awesome. Careful some secondary school kids don't try to ride and abandon it.

Enquiries into the Stayer UG have begun. Let's see where this leads.

I raced the London CX League round at Hog Hill yesterday and I've never seen it so devoid of mud before.

Vittoria Terreno -5 just dropped 🫠

Do you ride mostly off-camber terrain?

Not my bike but it’s a Mone fixed, so I can only imagine it’s for something far out like dirt velodrome racing, or something.

Please don’t mention dirt velodromes, just as I’ve got them out of my mind.

My apologies. Some unresolved trauma?

Conditions were fabulous out there today

They exist.

Grass track racing.

N O ! That’s just a grass running track with bikes on it. All I’m going to say is that spending over a week of evenings with a couple of friends and some shovels will not get you enough banking to pass another bike on a bend at speed. Oh and going over the top of the berm fucking hurts wearing shorts.

And scars…

I did

Finally riding the Crux. Road and grav guises.

Seatpost is annoying and is going to be replaced with an eeSilk probs.
MTB version of the Adamo is pretty neat - nice for getting over the back of the saddle. Probs needs some more adjustment but it'll do for now.
Light is fucked. Needs to go back to Exposure for a fix or replacement.
Not a massive fan of the bars but also too lazy to replace them so they'll probably stay.
650B rear needs new tyre - the 54mm wide Cinturato is too much and it's wobbling at speed and is pretty cut up so I'll swap with something else. Freehub is draggy too.

Out of /10? Sounds pretty grim.

Continental tyres AND bike photos?! Definitely not hippy

That saddle
