New do everything bike! The Soma has been retired until I can be bothered to sort out the seized seatpost/pedals, broken brake lever and fucked wheelset. And rusty chain.
I have made the Condor look less classy than it did when I got it by getting rid of the fancy brown Brooks and matching bar tape/pedal straps, but I work in east London and value my saddle. Sorry about the crap photo.

The fetcher. This is an ORIGINAL IRO. We are talking ten years old. Ive beaten this bike to shit. The basket on this is reinforced and can hold 50 lbs easily. Great bike. Hasn't seen a wrench in 2 years. It wont die.
Waterford. Of the bunch, this is the one that fits me best.
Sweet old Shogun. All original parts, save for the saddle which is fucking ace. And obviously the bars / levers are swapped out. Definitely a little small for me, but it works well around town. Saddle and bar angles need to be fixed.
I don't know how to classify this. It's a cool bike though. Fun to ride. Fun to build. Half the cost was the tires.
I built this to share with people (girls) that need a bike. It's small because it's able to easily be ridden by novices who usually like to have their feet on the ground. Can pop the saddle up easily if needed. It has cool brakes.
And me. I'm the one on the right looking down. I don't have many photos of myself.

Is that because you often found you've run out of space on your SD card?
I like your raleigh

hello, new guy here :)
just wanted to know what "the scene" thinks of my bike :)
cheers -
• #12811
The scene thinks you need to get a front brake and show us your face before you smash it up riding your death wagon.
The scene also realises you don't live in London or anywhere where thieves have learnt to progress from scissor attacks on locks.

Smiley face back. :)

The scene would also like to know if you have a coaster brake (which with one brake is daft), or if you're actually riding a geared bike brakeless? Either way, the scene would like to offer its condolences to your loved ones.

I hope you recognize the comedy in the pose :)
Front brake...well yes :) But coming down from this hill is pretty fast and the rear brake help up ok. For city riding is fine. And no, nowhere near London but I really should get a better lock :D A thick chain and thick lock or bought cable lock? What does the experienced UK scene has to say about locks?
Cheers!

Don't believe a word these guys say. They're not 'the scene', just some random interlopers.

• #12820
don`t worry Dead on Arrival is dead to me!
Anyway, I like the bike and would like to keep it for a while, so some advice on locks?
DIY or something fancy at the bike store, that will cost more than the bike? -

The scene concurs.
Nerd.

What's going on in that first pic, RobertYoghurt? Some kind of cycling dogging thing? Looks ver' sinister.
