  • OK after managing a successful pic upload in the nursery i'm now being all cocky and attempting to post bikes, here goes, prepare for firey death if this goes pear shaped..... I have a face for radio so will not upload that sorry sight to the world wide interwebs, (there's no warrants out for me honestly)

    I won't post the Gensis Flyer as they not exactly nice and its the runt of the litter thats never even been cleaned in 2 years. I do have a soft spot for it as the plucky underdog that takes all the abuse and horrible weather and never complains despite being clearly jealous of the other bikes in the stable.

    See what i did there with the face, at least its a Roberts, hmmmmm

    Then we have my 2005 Jekyll after a major offroad session in Afan Argoed and Brechfa in South Wales, brillaint fun. I also use it as an urban assault vehicle throwing myself around Londons street furniture. Its a warranty replacement for a 2002 Jekyll that I broke, well it tore in half in an attempt to become a unicycle when powering away from the lights cycling home from work past the tea building in shoreditch at rush hour, not a fun experience, I had to do the Team America distress signal to avoid getting splatted.

    Then my lovely Denti Road Tech Five with crimped or tear drop shaped Columbus SL tubing done up with modern components, lovely machine, super comfy, my long distance ride. I know very little of this bike and hope some of you experts may know more about Denti's old bikes you could share. I've never seen another one and I've never even met another Denti owner, any here?

    Then finally there's my dream machine, my 2010 Mercian Vincitore Special in 853 Pro Team Steel, totally besotted with this bike, too scared to leave it outside anywhere ever and is the one bike a vowed never to get rid of. Its my Sunday best bike and only comes out in nice weather but I can't get enough of it and can't helping smiling like a mad bastard everywhere i go on it, so if you see me i'm not on the happy pills, and contrary to what Lance says its all about the bike.

    There we go, waffle complete, enjoy or hate as you so wish.
    Good story!

    Welcome again!
