Names and faces to bikes

are you cheating on your fixed!!? shame on you........shame on you

I think the fix was probably the young mistress in that marriage.

ffub I think the fix was probably the young mistress in that marriage.

It's all true... The MTB looks scornfully at me every time I pass...

well, back in londonium once again, so time to get me another bike. same story as most, ridin bikes since i was a little tacker. last 10 yrs mainly converted MTB's with slicks for commuters, but thought i'd get a fixie after ridin a mates condor pista. so bought a shiny bianchi pista (shock horror, a fakenger!!!) and have started to add bits and pieces. added white vittoria corsa cx's, white world champ toupe saddle, DMR v8 white, specialised cross-top brake, chopped and flopped cheapo steel strack bars, deep v's on ambosia hubs, cinellia alter stem. crzy for going white, but sick of black bikes.

ciao

well sorta fury around the edges, hahaa, but back home i was into modifying cars and one in particular stood out like ......... and the nickname just stuck :( .

anth - is that MTB a Cotic? Can't see very clearly but it looks like it's got one of those wraparound decals. I'd love a Cotic Soul :)

Like the matching saddle. verry nice. nice to see another bianchi pista rider on here as well! I'd upload a pic but it's almost completely standard so there's no real point :)

eeehhhh anth - is that MTB a Cotic? Can't see very clearly but it looks like it's got one of those wraparound decals. I'd love a Cotic Soul :)

Yip, and despite the wraparound (replacement) decal it's a relatively early one (no. 71) - they stopped doing the orange not long after I got it. Takes everything you can throw at it and is possibly THE most comfortable bike I've ever ridden.

And it flies!

I used to do that off road bollox

errr thats not going to land on that landing....is it??

Anth - Nice. I'd love a Cotic Soul in custard (I would get one if I wasn't going to uni) :) I've got a Cotic Roadrat and I love it, would definitely buy Cotic again (plus Cy is really helpful).

so it would seem you lot are also good friends with E.T

aidan errr thats not going to land on that landing....is it??

yep.

the picture is just as I'm leaving the lip (my mate who took it ain't very good with cameras)

coming up short on those doubles is not an option

Apart from the excellent Bridges ride, you could also try going round Richmond Park on a Thursday with the other Westies. Just make sure your shots are up to date.

You want to watch out around badrider - he'll be coveting your wheels.

Nothing fancy here against all these beautiful steeds- mass produced and ridiculous graphics.

Me - Stuart - on the way to le pave towards the end of Paris - roubaix, wishing I'd shed a few more pounds before the photo was taken

a bikes a bike.....bonjour:)

Thank you for the welcome aidan

It was more a jealous comment than an ashamed one - there are some real monuments to simple stripped down two wheeled beauty in the bike porn section and this thread

On the plus side, i like your skin coloured loafers sonicred007 - they are a monuments to stripped down two-footed beauty :)
