Gone- but not forgotten

lpg

pic of the bike that your phil's you sold me ended up on

you got a new ride yet?

"I got a silver machine, it flies sideways through time"

that's lookin' good wayne

it's me mates bike so can't take any credit for it, but it is a lovely looking thing...

Are they grips or bar tape? Want something similar for my red bike, but in black... BTW Lovely :-)

It's punched fizik white bar tape but just half wrapped and finished with white electrical tape so the chrome nitto bar could be seen in all it's loveliness, nice little nod back to the old pursuit/keirin stylee as well

looks very nice,

hope your friend is happy.

is it a stripped cannondale track frame???

you knows it fella - stripped cannondale.

what a guess, woohoo!! who da man? go ricky, go ricky!!

it's a lovely bike - but i don't quite get why the tape appears at the bottom of the bars - the bike has a brake, suggesting it won't see much track action, and the owner's hands will not stray far from the tops. so is it purely an aesthetic decision?

it's not the only bike to "nod back to keirin/pursuit stylee":

how dare you make a vulgar comparison like that!! :p

A: 'cos it would be a shame to hide those lovely nitto bars
B: because we're all a bunch of tarts who like things to look good

that's what i thought - and i agree of course.

i mean, who am i to argue, if it's good enough for the london langster, then it's good enough for anyone.

i shall now verily saunter forth and get me coat.

yeah, use bare metal bars and you get a more direct feel for the handling. sacrifice comfort, but in the city it's alright.

as in, it makes your hands hurt, especially if you're running 100psi+

yeah but if you wear padded gloves it's OK, for journeys less than 1hr. For me, anyway.
saw your jackson earlier, looks really nice.

thanks for compliment. i love it...

and chrome is a tad slippy in the wet

where did you get it stripped???

ebay purchase, t'was already done

31trum where did you get it stripped???

c'mon 31trum, i'll bring around the bag of caustic soda, you supply the hot water :)

yeah, sounds a good idea to me, but being alu, have to polish or seal......
have to put it in the bath too huh???

once you strip, could spray can it with a clear coat ;)

been seriously thinking about it.............
