Welcome

Hello and welcome, the wrap over the top tube is a hang over from BMXing which protected your knackers if you slipped off the seat , now its either to hide what your bike is, protect your knackers for tricks or more realistically for looks. Cards in spokes are from rides usually, to show you've done something I guess and to recognise people who have done the same. Enjoy the forum.

Thanks, a bit gutted the cards weren't held in place by a clothes peg to make and indescribable noise so I wont describe it.
