  • So after having a few too many bikes last year I learned a couple of things, steel is for me.

    I find it comfy and I trust it knowing it can be repaired when I crash :)

    This thread will do for all my bikes and I want to fill it with pictures of them so here are the bikes I built last year:

    Dave was great fun but ended up crashed and too small.

    29er was also awesome but while I wanted a big bike I really wanted to ride fixed.

    I then built this seta to replace the Dave Russell

    I sold the 29er and decided I was serious about a big fixed bruiser so I built the brooklyn.

    Decided I wanted rid of the seta so sold/traded it for Gabe's Mielec

    Which after setting up properly with a 120mm stem I had to admit was too small for me so I got the form I had my eye on.

    I really liked that but it got a dent in the TT during a crash so I sold it cheap to a mate, I then realised I was pining for another seta.

    Ended up with a real bargain on this

    Decided I'd get in on the lopro action and built this up from a mate.

    He then figured he'd rather keep it than trade for parts so I gave it back to him and he painted it pink before selling it on...

    So I spoke to Gabe again and a few sales later I walked away with his Orlowski

    Then I saw the pendle come up for sale, it was my size, beautiful and made from my favourite tubeset. How could I not?

    So I sold the final seta.

    This thread is hilarious, I change my mind so much but I am very happy with what I have at the moment and the only reason I can see to sell anything is that I might grow up and actually have to support myself :/

    Currently have the Brooklyn, Orlowski and Pendle.

    I'll post up to date pictures of them later.
