  • Jimmi, don't forget to add some strap laters, you'll find yourself enjoying the bike a lots more, and I mean a lots.

  • I do have clipless but I'm just getting used to riding fixed, taking it nice and easy away from the traffic!

    I quite fancy these but don't seem to have them in the UK, any ideas?

    Got some power grips but they just look so shit

  • If you do have clipless, I suggest riding with them, especially when (from the sound of it) you're already used to it.

    Perfectly understandable that you want to get used to riding a fixed wheel bicycles.

    check the list for any queries you have in mind and/or search the forum for any specific topic you want to find.

    no shit Sherlock... really?

    Ed, your new avatar suits this post perfectly.

  • I was enjoying not having to look at Eds mug every day. :(

  • Nice BJ! Welcome!

  • Ok, that was a real test of my computing skills....
    Me and a couple of my bikes!!

  • Hello there,

    Been on these forums for a while now but thought It's time to formally introduce myself.

    This is me, on the right;

    This is my steed, pretty much my perfect bike now, this Charge has gone through so many changes but I'm now happy with it, now have a lower gear ratio for winter.

  • This is my Colnago Technos, bought new in 1996.
    Anyone who tells me this is 'just a bike' is going to get a good hard virtual slap.

    My face remains the same mish-mash of ill-assorted parts.

    first time I've seen this:

    Lovely work!

  • Such a lovely bike, Will is putting it back together in it's geared glory.

    Think it's the same one that he been couriering in with wrapped inner tube.

  • Yes, about 15 or 16 tubes covered the whole frame. Oddly they really affected the feel of it too; damped the ride somewhat. Hopefully it will be back up and running in the New Year.

  • Do they really? it does make sense in some degree, the steel frame absord the road, (the 'ting' feel when you hit a small obstacle), so wrapping the frame in used inner tube soften it.

    Does it feel worse or better? (tube-covered frame).

  • Worse; not to mention the several extra pounds weight. Colnagos are not at their best when ridden wrapped in thick black rubber. Unlike myself.

  • I heard you, I set mine up more like a randonneur and it handle a bit hit-or-miss, they're at it's best in full racing glory.

  • Same colour as my old Bob Jackson and my future one too.

  • Did you catch the guy who puked on the stem?

  • ^^^lol
