Ed that bike really is lovely.

Good luck with your trip.

Amen Brother!

I've always had a weak spot for those 3ttt stems; cheap, light, strong, much less flex in comparison to some aluminium stem and they look ace.

nutsjesmoar - That is really looking good man. Only slight thing I'd say is the stem needs to be a tighter angle, i.e.-

But thats just personal opinion.

I'm wondering if I should sell my lo-pro in favour of something else....but I don't know what that something else would be yet...

already?!

well kinda, i'm not sure, for one reason or anther i haven't ridden it much. I should probably do that first, i just kind of want to build something new and i can't justify 5 bikes.

Damn, and I'm too skint to buy it! >_<

Did we even get a photo of the finished product?

I took some last weekend, but i didn't like them. I'll try and do some more this evening if it says dry

spatr pls

What tape for under £10 for my green bobs, black risers?

...i can't justify 5 bikes.

I know the feeling. I need to cut down my stable somewhat. I'm also coming to the realisation that my Sid Mottram is too small for me :(

I can justify 4 bikes, 2 for transport, 2 for a hobby, problem is, i have 6 and 2 frames.

7 is the magic number.

MTB
Fixed wheel
Roadie
Tourer
Beater
Custom
CX

3 is the magic number (De La Soul weren't wrong);

Roadbike
Fixed/SSCX
Trackbike

Custom?

I' say 8. Add TT and split Roadie into race & training/winter. Custom could be applied to any of the 8 rather than being a specific bike in itself.

^^ An Ed'sperimental bike?

I was going to say Mavic guidoline.... but it's apparently discontinued :(

3 is the magic minimum number

n+1 where n = the number of bikes above 3.

1. Nice everyday fixed
   
2. Road
   
3. Beater
   
4. Next project
   
   

Although I do pretty much agree with you 3 is an all round desireable amount which I've tried to stick to. And once my GF has her bike and I finish my Dawes the beater will probably be taken out of action for a while.

Track (with brake or fancy tub wheels)
hardtail MTB (slicks most of the time)
Polo bike
CP to be revealed in 2 weeks.

1. - Bullet proof MTB hardtail work horse with slicks, discs, and no front mech.
   
2. - Nice fixed/possible track bike.
   3 and up - TBC, as is exact figures... o_o
   
   
   

I think next will be a rat/beater, although NJS has a siren call... >_<

I could justify so many bikes if i had the money.

currently:
BMX
brakeless Fixed gear HHSB/beater
Hardtail MTB
Beater for a mates to borrow is they wanna come along on a ride

tourer/audax
semi-sled/ sensible fixed
roadie/commuter
fixed lo-pro

if i were into mtb's i'd justify but i'm not. Other than that i can think what else i'd need.

3 is good.... could do with a geared but no room in my flat (had to give my geared bike to my dad).
BMX.
Sunday best track, never used.
Beater/pub/wet weather tarck left outside.

1 bike with 3 bar options does me for TT, road training, commuting and track.

Impressive.

What is it?

And pics plz?
