beater/commuter/barspin party trick bike

and my fast bike, which is currently cracked and resting in my shed

and finally, my face

I might only have been a member for a little while but I've used LFGSS as a source of info for years. I thought it was about time I introduced my humble stable and dared to show my face.

First up, its my beater. I love this bike like I love my own balls. Please excuse the pedals. Sadly, I might have to sell it soon due to lack of room.

Next up, my fixie. Before anybody points out that it has Varno's name on the top tube, I didn't nick it I promise. Please excuse the stem. Might seem like madness putting cheap components onto a carbon frame but this is what I rode when I started riding fixed and I planned for a few spills and didn't want to scrap any decent parts whilst I was getting used to it.

Next, my gears. Its a 2009 FP2 which roughly equates it to a current day FP1 but with 105 instead of Pinarello's MOST comnponents and a better Deda stem. This is what you'll find me on at weekends.

And finally, my face. Photo taken after a tasty warm up ride into the wind and sleet a while back.

Say hola should you see me on my SE8 to NW1 commute...

howdeedoodee

Howdeedoodee indeed Murtle. Maybe meet you on a ride one day...

ride???

maybe :)

ride???

maybe :)

It'll more likely be a 'Murtle Hurtle'. :)

Bike as is now, although I need a new frame as this is slightly too small and the seat post is jammed so can't raise it.

How do your wrists cope with that saddle angle?

By not riding more than 3 miles.

I don't ride it at that angle, I think I was fucking about with the saddle height that day.

My commute to and from uni is over 30 miles. Now where's my Blue Peter badge???

Right here

Bit of an update there.
