Great for carrying avocados.

Great for carrying avocados.

But can it carry wanky coffee as well?

Specialized pizza rack

Looks ok, but why is it £45?

Isen is now crap mudguard free.

Hopefully soon it will be PDW 'd and Dynamo'd up though......

Had it out on a little club jaunt to the Kent lanes last night and its a banging bike, Pirelli tyres are decent as well I must say.

And it survived RVC (although it was carrying a lighter load) :p

LoL

Sadly all true

Still gutted I missed that

Trainbiek has had a few more additions

It is now perfect for the 0.6mile ride to the shop and pub

Although I will try my hand at wiring up the dynamo at some point....

Cross and CROSS post from groupset thread

R8000 on the Isen is doing my head in

Anyone else think R8000 is fucking awful/had multiple issues with it?

I am really disappointed with it, especially after putting 6800 on my winter bike and it being faultless through a Scottish winter with little maintenance

in a 1000 miles commuting/lanes in London R800 has delighted me with

Both calipers piston seals failing (common fault appaz)
Left hand Brifter failed completely
Rear disc warped, just because it fancied it.
BB give up (not gs specific but annoying)

It also feels very flappy, cheaply made and indirect on shifting (compared to 6800, not campag), swapping cables hasn't changed this either.

I will say though that the front mech is an improvement over the 6800 though.

Aaah that feels better

rant over

Track bike paint looks to be happening as well, so that should be with me shortly.

Re-sent the Intercity liveries to Matt, so more train based bikes out there soon.

My search for a Flyer have also taken an interesting turn......hopefully more on that soon as wellhttps://www.lfgss.com/conversations/323096

Class 91 Intercity track frame now painted.

Full stainless - Enve fork - wicked paint

Love it

Wondered what Matt was up to ;-)

That looks great

Def worth it though

Does it lean round corners?

Never lean

That's a class 390 pendolino @Howard

And they tilt, not lean

Come on, train basics
