I thought socks *were *socks.

Yes they are.

ed - that utility bike is v nice. is it yours?

those bilenkys are awesome, I know nothing about carrying cargo on bikes but i suspect that people are right that trailers are more sensible. Anyway neither my 9'6" or 7'6" would fit.

This would have seemed like a great idea when stoned. Trailer and panniers on a Surly LHT would be are boring and conventional but would ride heaps better.

Judging by the use of Surly Larry tyres it's intended to be ridden on the beach and sandy beach paths too. Even pushing a LHT with a trailer on soft sand would suck.
Also...I would personally take a well built longbike over a trailer any day.
If you intend venturing off smooth roads at all, and even if you don't, a trailer isn't fun to have bouncing around and snaking behind you when it hits bumps...whereas a longbike is far more stable, and handles much more like a regular bike than you might expect...even fully loaded.

As an example...riding this sort of stuff with a trailer wouldn't be fun...

does anyone knows who in UK does paintjobs like that? I'm guessing that some sort of 'chameleon' things
rough costs?

Costs a lot.
These guys will be able to help.

Last page was shite BTW...

those paints are nuts. would it be similar to a puppy killing to get my colnago master chrono painted in this colour?
Spectra paint on a bike would be nice but at £299 / L i'll pass.

Agreed!

Yeah, a page full of people posting bikes which THEY consider to be porn and then discussing them with other people who were also interested. What a load of shit.

If only we could have people to jump in after every bike and correct peoples own opinions for them....that would make it much better.

@Loafheads: If you can pull out any of those shades properly, then yes.

^Precisely my point.
You'll adapt quick here.

I wouldn't worry...Soon enough you'll have a page full of quotes and +1's telling us how shit the last page was, and that will be much more enjoyable.

Too much Bendáge lately, posted in Porn.

That thing goes ok doesn't it.

Excellent video. I've honestly never seen a longbike offroad so point taken. I've also never seen a MTB vid set to Tom Waits either. Good stuff.

What would you call it then? the 'car replacement bike'?

I used to have that on my ulitity bike but there's not enough room for the brake, shifter and grip to fit on the end.

now have nitto promenade with zero rise - fit nicely and a huge amount of hand position.

pfff uuuuugly

Especially with the daft integrated D-lock

What would you call it then? the 'car replacement bike'?

Erm, I would probably just call it a bike.

Utility is a daft word to use as all bikes are inherently useful when utilised. You could reasonably call an olympic track bike a 'utility' bike, in as much as it performs a specific function.

The commonly used term 'cargo' bike is much better, for instance.

P.S. do you keep your utility bike in your utility room? That would be funny.

pfff uuuuugly
