    I used to use it more, it's a bit unloved now, I mainly use it to bookmark random interesting things so they're all in one place.

  • Been on a forum for a while, but never posted any of my bikes or face in here.
    I had a bit of change of bikes, bought two frames and sold two frames, only my road bike stayed untouched.

    Say hi if you see me around!

    Road : Condor , Reynolds 853 with 10 speed Veloce (eventually group set will change)

    Track Roberts, absolutely love it! Gets ridden most. Few more little changes on it's way but mainly it will stay as it is.

    Wet weather commuter Webster

    Face : Joining James Bowthorpe for an hour during his epic 24h rollers ride at lmnh last summer.

  • I've always loved that Roberts frame, especially as it's my size.

    The Condor is also a lovely frame.

    Keep them both as you'll only regret it if you sell them.

  • Both will stay with me for a while :)

  • Is the Condor full 853 or just the main triangle*?

    Not a not a major issue, I'm just interested.

    *It'll say on the 853 decal if it's the seat & chain stays.

  • main triangle only

  • Still a great frame also in one of Condors nicest colour ways.

  • Skully said that it's very very similar to his Dave Yates, and I like to believe it was him who build mine. Not necessary true :)

    And thank you for nice words!

  • You look concerned that the bike is still too heavy.

  • remembered that i never put my face up originally, I'm the guy that isn't Lenny Kravitz...


    and the bikes are...

    And yes, it was the memes thread that inspored me to put up the photo of the Krav man...

  • haha, thanks for all the bike orientated comments. hello to all, no creepy pm's (and definitely no stalking), hurrah!

    i'm sure you'll all hear more from me when i embark on my first fixie project this summer!

  • glad to hear it - ladies' drinks and ride coming up soon, come along!

  • welcome Hannah, by the way. I was going to post a comment about all that hullabulloo and then thought I'd save myself the trouble and not get involved...

  • Nearly a year in the forum haven't done this yet!
