Cannondale F700 with Lefty Fork, getting on for 10 years+ and still a nice bike to ride.

Be good if they weren't the same picture

cheers, now corrected!

LEFTO! not had a bending problem yet?

lmao ^

lefty forks are very well made.

Yeah - stiffer, lighter and stronger than comparable forks. Also extremely plush due to running on roller bearings rather than bushes. Not cheap though.

Oh sorry I thought this thread was "Brum post your bikes/faeces/places"

Just got the wife's grandfather's bike back from Scotts' - epic work by Scotts'. Bike is 70+ years od, no idea of make but I think it was bespoke.

for comparison, before:

Is that a dynamo hub on the front?

That's really well filmed Matt!

Is that a dynamo hub on the front?

Yes, an old S-A one, probably not specced with the original frame (doubt it had a 3-speed to start off with either). I rode it from hall green to cotteridge yesterday and only remembered today that it had a the dynohub, I expected it to be a total b*tch.
...
That said, I don't know that it works.

I do like the Pompinos. What's the saddle?

its a Charge Spoon with matching bar tape

I've gone and bought another shitheap off the bay.

Going to make this into a sweet fixie in order to raise my street credibility. I'll be needing a chain and a bmx-style brake lever if anyone has these for sells?

Oh, also after a cog (pretty big, about 18t) and lockring too

Took the stickers off my rims,looks much better now.
Still unsure about the frame ones, might get some black ones.

The rat project is coming along nicely. Put a brake on it today. Just waiting for a cog and lockring and then the crustiest fixed gear ever built is ready for action (pootle down the pub)

Still need to fiddle with the brakes and put my spds on.

Strong work Stu :)

very ratty

I think my Sun Wasp might get a rat makeover, if it doesn't sell anytime soon.
