Names and faces to bikes

It doesn't show the bike all that well but this is me. On the way to my wedding incidentally.

And just for shits and giggles here I am trackstanding in a wedding dress.

Why isn't your bike wearing its wedding suit, then?

I bought it a new chain the day before, does that count?

Flip Flops n rat traps-coool! and congrats

Me. Although it looks like I'm going forward, in fact I was rooted to the spot and the rest of the universe as we know it was moving beneath me.

Chuck Norris, is that you?

Going to your wedding on a bike is fucking awesome.

Chuck Norris, is that you?

I taught Chuck how to change an inner tube back in 'Nam.

My new whip:

Your bike looks the tits - I'm jealous :)

Thanks upstart :)

I has yet seen the Grinder in the flesh yet, that look lovely, a little on the small side thought if that seatpost is your max height.

Nice one Andy, welcome.

I had a real problem sorting the Grinder. I am 5' 8" and tried the medium and it felt huge! I went with the small and it is a better fit. I think they slightly oversize their frames.

Thank God I read this thread first as I was going for a medium! Anyway on the small I don't have so far to fall!

And I'm guessing you got most the parts from BLB....in which case, again I'm guessing it cost you about £2,675?

haha, I bought the bike second hand for £470. The guy told me the build cost him £700 from BLB. He was emigrating to Australia and had to sell the bike as he had too much stuff (as well as at least one other bike).

They have an XS one too I think, netherless if the top tube length is perfect (i.e. doesn't feel overstretched), I'm sure it's fine.

I'm same height (bit smaller) with same size charge frame. you are right I think they oversize a little, It is the most comfortable frame fit I've ever had. Like your bike!

yes i wear a cycling cap when i'm not on my bike. i am a bad person. :)

yea, i am building up a rear wheel with a coaster brake for it as my gf is used to using one on her beach cruiser. the cable was the only one lying about to use for a few days.
