Bike porn

I absolutely adore these old raleighs:

Hutch (Retro Di Corsa) just gave my old Raleigh a winter service and upgraded the Wieman groupset, it makes a hell of a difference.

Not really supposed to post your own bikes in bikeporn. Try current projects.

And whats with uber set-back saddle. You must have an effective seat tube angle of 68Deg or something......???

Ffs...

Those tyres! And those stupid, utterly pointless stubby little mudguards!

Nobodies dissed the pseudo recumbent raleigh's pedals yet.

I am disapoint.

Look at those pedals!?!

(better?)

Good luck with that.

Cripes. I'd rather a motorbike.

Also rim stickers. Remove. Don't think Mavic have made any good ones c.10 yrs.

Good luck with that.

$11000 + whatever the custom bar/stem costs

They had those in Aldi yesterday for £14.99.

I really need a step over frame.
I run a child seat on the back and I'm fed up with doing karate kicks over the bars every time I drop Frania off to the nursery.

There's an 56cm (effective) Mercian Mixte frame on ebay at the minute. I posted it in the ebay finds a few days ago if you're interested.

Extreme repost but a goldie, the Grand Bois tyres is superbly comfortable (30c), and really light too.

probs a repost but meh....

i love it

nice

U.S.A.

Love that Jack Taylor up there^^^^^

Robin Mather - pathracer (handlebar: Nitti Albatros)

Nitti=Nitto ...

Also rim stickers. Remove. Don't think Mavic have made any good ones c.10 yrs.

Open Pros? Damn good rims.

Open Sport is also pretty good for the money, oh and CXP 33.

Italian stuff with a nice chromed rear fork, I can't find the builder though, and some more Titanium. Spectrum;

I assume it was a critism of the stickers, not the rims.

That would make more sense.

Yeah I think Hugo has described either open pros or cxp 33's as one of his favouritest most bomb proofest wheelsets. the graphics are ugly though.
