Don't you feel like a right sad bastard taking a picture of your bike? I did the other day.

You want a picture of your bikes for insurance purposes. That and it's nice to see how the bike changes shape with the years - i.e. how your riding style changes.
Unfortunately I have no camera.

^ my brother(what a tool) is a photographer. If you live local to Wolves I'm sure he would do it for you for free. TBH he did some for me a few years back - crikey what a load of pissing about - though he is a fanatical photography boffin.

Failing that Fursty ferret does photography and is also a forum member, based in Wolves, he would do it just cos he loves bikes etc

a long time in the building process, but finally here ...

My new Pomp

Double seatpost bolt?
what are the wheels you got?

Double seatpost bolt?
what are the wheels you got?

Hey BG, yeah I got a double seat clamp bolt, I had a load of trouble trying to source a single 'IN STOCK' seat clamp while doing the 'build'. I had it from CRC in the 'FLOOD SALE' and it was only £1.50 ! The plan was to take it into work and make 2 singles if you will by milling it into 2, as with all plans - it didn't go to plan and is still as you see it.

The wheels I had from Graham Weighs - top north west track guy - used have all my kit off him when it was Deeside Cycles, when they used to have quality track kit & wheels in stock. They are Mach 1 Omega on flip flop black cartridge hubs, £75 delivered - take a look

Look good, what do they weigh? Looking to buy a new set for my summer bike as it currently runs tubs which could be more practical.

BG next time I take em off when I'm tatting about I'll weigh em and let you know

well it is a singlespeed bike.

seat as far forward as possible for barspins hops & airs, one of the most pointless but fun tricks i've had to re-learn after 3 years off

after re learning all the old shit im gonna learn some new shit and might even make a video so i can show off like all the other vanity riders who need their 5 minutes of youtube fame. Not.

Not Single or Fixed, but re-born today with my spare race wheels - not much weight going on the panniers until I get some proper touring wheels.

Great spot for a pic I thought...

^I like the frame, cool monostay thing going on

My new pride and joy.

More pics... here!

That frame is niiiice.
fron wheel looks a bit funky though. Is the back a 650? I've never seen a road/track bike with a big wheel up front.
Does it hail from foriegn climes?

^just a weird camera angle isn't it?

^^^700c front and back and I know what you mean about the 'wheel'... well in my opinion it is merely the white tyre that has it looking somewhat unbalanced ( and the funny camera angle! )... once I can find an amber wall or fully black tyre that doesn't rub the down tube or fork crown it'll be on in a flash! Need something decent in a 700 x 20c variation. Any recommendations?

Also yes it is foreign, Belgian to be exact... handbuilt by Jan Van Dalen.

Badd!
