Readers Wives Anti Porn

29!

it's funny just how many people go for colourful bikes and then say they wanted 'something different'

There's quite few colours to go around, though.

I'm not sure where to post it. I think this is the best place to do so...

My Freddie Grubb is almost finished (apart from the front wheel and some vintage pedals).
The bike a whole is quite ugly - it's so long, it barely fits in the kitchen.
Dropouts are fucked and need straightening. The chain is the longest I have ever used.

Why is the rear mudguard mounted on the seattube on the black/red one?
Not enough seatpost available????????

and doesn't appear to keep your bum dry too!

Good effort to keep the bike thieves away. A+

after an eye/brain check i have realised this is where this belongs, question is will a lovely red look saddle (below) and some black bar tape salvage it or do i need to swap the wheels/cranks?

new saddle:

p.s. i love the frame, so swapping that isnt an option

Id say, with black bartape and the saddle, itd be good.
Swap the cranks and it`d be better*

*coming from me that is probably somewhat hypocritical, sporting rather lousy cranks as i am

and even worse a frame...

come to think of it mi bike is more like a BSO than a real bike

thanks, that was the direction i was thinking, how much do sugino messengers w/cranks go for? tried utfs but people always edit the price to £sold. grrr.

p.s. can you use shoe polish to treat saddles, or am i going to have a burgundy line up my bum?

If you wanna keep with the Look branding, you can black embossed Look bartape with Look plugs.

i think its a bit cheeky to stick too close to the look branding, since the frame is a fake look. redone by someone with the unfortunate name "K.Iddles", ha! but thanks, if i get the money to get a look team replica (current dream) then its good to know what i can match.

These are a funny old pair, whos are they Jaanus?

Apparently the IRO is for his GF

Ok, so how bad is it?

silver kool-chain and that's porn (albeit the kind you really, really don't want your girlfriend to find)

you failed to mention that part to me. Get some proper tape (fizik), some new rims and some proper brake pads and it'l be good.

its still got tighter geometry than some lame old mercian. whos heard of them anyway? no fizik, but i'm changing to black ambrosio and maybe switching the cranks. but i'm trying to kill the addiction. no good for my wallet

Im having daily arguments with my fizik tape, it just doesnt want to stay in one place. Is the ambrosio one longer? I would quite like to cover my whole bars and theres a tear in mine now from my crash. The cranks are ugly but fine, at least get some new brake pads.
