I've been out on it on my road, and about on the pavement, she rides beautiful (geared)
Re: Training, not heard back from the guys at TFL or CTUK, so got Oliver to chase up the CTUK, as I'm getting impatient. -

I've noticed that. And?
I was explaining the saddle to the handlebars position. Is that a problem?

take at least nearly half the lane when you ride, this way car is less likely to hit you or overtake you leaving little room.

Looks like youve sorted it mostly now, but the general rule of thumb is to put the chain on the two largest sprockets (front & rear) then shorten the chain as much as possible. The rear mech should still have a bit of spring in it in this position. Your components are well used so some weakening of the springs is to be expected.

To James Donohue
Are you aware if you take a photograph of anything inculding this, and upload it on the internet it will be criticised, even if you don't agree?People are entitled to their opinions. I would not expect cyclists who want the lightest bikes possible to be interested in a utility bike with a 45 kilogram cargo capacity.
All I was saying is that Mr. baddesigner posted my pics on this site without giving my fake name (although he did give a link to my "open letter" post on bikeforums dot net).
Every bike has it's pros and cons. I believe everyone should have several bikes. Use the right bike for the job.

actually the gold chain is those KMC titanium nitrate coating one, and it's only in gold, quiest and smoothest (and lightest I think) chain in the market, expensive thought.

the last one's quite interesting. perhaps it would look better with chromed/alloy bits (ie. post, stem, handlebar and the chainset) and some leather tape. those joints are awful - they look like they're wrapped in a handful of brown hair fetch out of the u-bend.

Its the combination of parts. All really flashy but look totally gash together. I think that is the essence of anti-porn, stuff thats really expensive but totally tasteless.
Black hson + vigorelli = fail
Paul cranks + vigorelli = fail
Paul cranks + gold chain + hson = triple fail.
Its one nasty setup.

Hi,
I didn't mean to barge in, but I discovered that some pictures of mine were used in this thread, back on page 57. These are pictures of Utility Bikes. Some of them are single speed, yes, but I don't know what they are doing here.
I'm not going to complain that these are copyright violations, this site's "fair use" policy is okay with me, but I wasn't given credit for the photographs.
This came to my attention when I checked my "stats" on photobucket dot com, and londonfgss dot com was listed as the site my photographs were linked to/from.The "Fiberglass Ladies Bicycle" was designed by my Daughter Mellisa. I shot the photographs.
There is some video of these bikes, which I felt was important, because some people have said they thought the bikes were impossible to ride, as if for display only. To see the video, you must go to youtube dot com and
do a search for "Fiberglass Ladies Bicycle".Again, these are utility bikes, and what appears to be an aerodynamic fairing is actually a cargo box.
Thank you for giving me credit for the photographs;

Thanks, I double checked just now, and it's definitely, and I remember how loose it was before compared to now.
No innuendo intended.
