Does anyone have a picture of what these look like? Seems a pretty good deal, but their website has 'image coming soon' and google / here seems to lack results...

Cheers!

You don't know what you're missing bednarz.. One day you'll fix.. and then wonder why you hadn't done so ages ago

I had my eureka moment today, I went and flipped it. After a nervous first 5 minutes, I kind of got into it... Can't really explain the feeling, but on the way back from the clubhouse I kind of got a lot more confident. I didn't use my back brake to see how it feels, so that when I get up to normal cycling confidence I can take it off, I think I'll defo stick with a front brake though!

Anyway, I'm glad I swapped. Off for a around the Isle of Wight cycle next week, so going to cram in a load of practice so I can tackle that!

Looks wrong but feels : D

I think that looks horrid.

Great thread this, I've been inspired to flip it over tonight for a try when I cycle to rowing tonight. Looking forward to it (I have cleats so should be fun)....

Just a quick question though, as a coaster down hill most of the time, what is the correct practice for long / steep down hills? Obviously your feet will be spinning mega quick, is it to just try and control it as best you can? I appreciate thats a bit of a terrible new person question, just don't want to be 1/2 way down a hill shitting myself!

I assume you can juggle? I think that's a requirement whilst on a unicycle.

Hey!

I'm looking for a 700 Rear Disc Wheel, plain black if possible?

Anyone got one they don't want, or know where I can get a semi decent one?

Ta!

my friend was cycling along once and a bee flew up his nose and stung him. amazingly he didn't crash but his face was the size of a football for about 3 days afterwards

That's the funniest thing I've read this morning! Hope he was okey though...

I hate Bee's. I was stung on the top of the head as a child, and I've had a 2mm bold patch ever since :-(

I saw two nice bikes cycle past along the sea front near the D-Day museum on Monday with Mallets, where does that go down in Southsea? I would have called out, but I was running the other way...

I just got this bike for the princely sum of £15.... spent yesterday afternoon tweaking the breaks and sorting the wheels out.

Can't decide if i should leave it as a 5 speed, or change it to a fixie... It's ridiculously comfortable to ride.

I used to do triathlons, right up to international standard (for the U18's). Only once for GB mind, in a place called Larabetzu in Spain. I was rubbish at swimming and running though. In fact I did one in cardiff where I was the last person out of the pool (35 odd people), but was the second person off the bike. (and finished 3rd)

I was forced though more than choice as my dad was the chairman of the local triathlon club. As soon as I hit 18 it was see ya later!

I've noticed quite a few Creates around pompey now, they seem to be catching on....

Though there are also some lovely fixies around. Saw a really nice aqua / white one today, didn't get a chance for a proper look unfortunately!

How was the strong island ride? I was planning on going but ended up in Wales!

You see, to me this just looks like snot. Colours make it look cheap (i'm sure it's not) and I can't really see anything appealing.

I do wonder sometimes - if the same frame had Muddy Fox on it or some other low to mid-range bike name, would you still spill some of your man mayonaise on the keyboard?

A good question. It depends what decals Muddy Fox had all over it. I like the small details, and I guess 1/2 of the fact is the brand, and the fact that you know it'll be well made and last. But an interesting point none the less. Branding is a big part of any product.

Just shown up on eBay.com.

Absolutely gorgeous, one of the nicest frames in this thread, and its from so long ago....

You have to go back many many pages for real bike porn. It looks to me like this is turning into the "bike I found regardless of if its bike porn or not thread"

I just found this beauty on ebay...

Here is the full ebay listing for some interesting reading....

I quite like that, though I'd stick some normal road bike bars on change the saddle mind.

I don't know if its just me, but I really don't like those "super low" styles. They just look uncomfortable.

On the topic of portsmouth :

Looks quite interesting. There is certainly a lot of bike culture here (Albert Road and all that jazz).
