my new VO Piolet for bombing around town, in its true orange habitat
big up @sterobe for passing it on after I missed it first time round

Wish I kept it @platypus !!

Enjoy it!

Fantastic!!

Ooh! Always wanted to try one of them. Has the previous townbeast gone?

yeah, I sold my old trek 970, and really regretted it until this came up
this rides nicely, HT is super short, but apart from that no complaints

Would dibs

Probably gunna sell this soon, although i have no idea what it's really worth tbh

Why you selling? Looks a good tool

Yeah it totally is, to be honest it just doesn't do anything my other bikes don't. I just use it as a pub bike, and it does seem a bit posh for that

Winter Bike

If I attach a front rack to some carbon forks from 2000 will I lose all of my teeth?

A 19 years old carbon fork, what could possibly go wrong?

Might be worth just getting some steel fork.

Repeat offender!

Yeah I should really learn my lesson. I've got some steel forks that might work ok already. Might as well not chance it!

Gfs tourer got a small city-functional makeover

First projects of 2019. The c40 is quite an impulsive buy but will replace my current steel road bike. Nonetheless i'll have to repaint the dropouts as they were corroded before i can swap the groupset/ wheels.
The ritchey will replace my gravel/tourer bike. Bars and stem will be replaced by a ritchey bullmoose. I still need to get a wheelset as well as a crankset.

beautiful! Both of them.

Bought new ?

Why the 650B instead of the P29 ?
Curious to see how it turn..

Awsome we can do a P650B ride out of Paris to the mountains (Montmorency) !

Current guise of mine, saddle seatpost and pedals changed. Trying to find time to switch to some chuckier tread tyres for the winter and go tubeless with it, that's this week's task.

And another new project too..

"TeVe Blad" Merckx?

Indeed! But with the old logos and it's 'only' a Strada. But it's in pretty good condition and perfect size for me so I'm not too bothered about that. Not like I'm racing them or anything :)
