What are you going on about? Do you ride motorcycles or?

The front lever on that bike is on the left rather than on the right.

But if you've only got one lever I think it does make sense for it to be on the left so that you still have braking when signalling with your right hand, which you signal with far more often than with your left hand.

Wheels look good on the bike!

Fixed!

hehe

I bought my carlton originally for a mere £160 on the bay and it was set up to a much higher standard than this. The only snag is I've ended up spending over twice the price again on it....worth it!

Fixed!

Is that two pieces of velcro stuck together and sandwiched in the middle for rigidity?

tom where did you find that LSF sticker! You've got a secret stash in that store room haven't you! If you do actually have a few can you give one to sam to give to me.

Thomson stems are designed to be ridden either way, and anyone who's opinion matters knows that so it won't look silly.

well specifically that one is not designed that way at all, it just can be flipped - and they mark the possible angles on the stem, mtbers don't need neg rise on their stem. these however have been intentionally designed to be flipped...

shit that made me sound like a right smarmy twat.
but yeah, upside-down logo would bother me, but also anything above 0º on a road bike bothers me too (unless it's for touring)
