Good old fashion steel Nitto 125, way too stiff, but it's chrome and matched the bike.

The other bikes -

I only use the fixie atm. I'm going to try and make the time trial bike fixed though. See if I can still pull off sub 27 10miles

edit: forgot the face
Thats the most recent pic. I was doing Rollapaluza at the time

Looks like St John St / Beaumont St area innit.

Round the back of the Sackler library I thought.

Tourer (now with gears + panniers and shit):

This is such a well-conceived bike, and a hot whip to boot. My bike is its bitch. Don't you ever even think about selling it, you hear? I know what you're like.

Could you not do something with that frigging headbadge though? Like paint it black?!

its firmly locked in Holdsworth, being worked on by top men, top. men.

fuck you about the badge. I'll tattoo it to you one night.
its so fun to ride, missing it massively at the moment.
stupid little parts....

also its custom fitted, who the fuck could I sell it to?*

*unlike GH1.

Can't wait to see the finished job, by parts, you mean that handlebar from Singular you told me about?

nope- one piece from sram was missing from the I motion... so i'm waiting patiently/ working every kind of job i can find to pay for the hub +wheel build+ disc brake + etcetera.

the bar will come when the bar comes.

Me and my bike...

All-important cockpit alterations

White build - handlebar upgrade to 'riser handlebars':

Green build - bar-tape transplant following severe discolouration:

dude, relax the sphincter.

I'm joshing around you toaster... unless you're referring to the photo of me (in which case that's the very last thing I should do)

the photo of you, exactly.
looks like a bad case of the stuckies (constapation)

Lovely Mercian that, what cranks+mechs?

Keep having to remind myself with mine that its a tourer not a racer, twice now Ive taken off the mudgaurds, looked at it for a week then put them back on.

What's with these people doing the bike on shoulder pose for cameras? Makes me think of the hipster thread

Well, it's a portrait. Of me and my bike. I'm just glad I can make you think.

It's all 2009 Centaur.

is that another of your t-shirts?

Nope, it's the forum's 'Airfix' t-shirt... a run was done 18 a while back.

Was it really? Didn't know that. It was me that printed them originally; I did a run of 100 to sell to forumengers. Then I submitted the design to Teepay (which is run by the same people as Howies but not Howies per se), who released for a while. It was the first t-shirt they did.

any more on the way?

Lots of ideas but no time! I also want to do some other stuff, i.e. not just prints on t-shirts. I'd said watch this space but you might be waiting a while!

Can't really see my bike, but it's the only photo I have!

Nice bike. You're blinging it hard with the Barratt homes
