beside your ears while your back is calling for an ambulance.
Inside or outside the elbows?

Small bikes always look ugly to me, something about the frame:wheel ratio.
(Also saddle angle, bar tape, seat post, aerospoke, obviously)I agree, but I think it's something to do with the lack of gap between the top tube and the down tube. Everyone loves a bit of gap.

@tomsvoboda Purdy but where do your knees go?
-
edscoble and chaibreaker; that does seem to make more sense now actually, will drop my post down over the weekend and report back.
hippy; but I was so careful! Actually I've been doing those stretches recently.
bothwell; yes sorry, they are diagonal.
-
Everything's connected. The human body is basically a big hinge which bends at the hip, those muscles and attachments dominating/connected to every movement you make. Sounds like something in your glute or IT band.
Have a stretch, see what happens.
Good point, will get the log out (ahem) at the gym tonight and give it a roll...
you are attaching them to your feet and not your butt right ?
I hope to one day be able to ride like this.
your saddle is too high perhaps and the straps are forcing your feet flat. Try drop your saddle an inch
Sounds reasonable, but I've been riding at that height for nearly a year. In the last few weeks I've been using straps I've noticed the pain. Would the addition of straps affect my riding height?
Appreciate the feedback.

Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone else might have experienced a similar problem.
I recently bought some diagonal re-straps. Since using them I've gradually noticed that I've been experiencing some pain in my right butt cheek (jokes aside). Particularly when extending my right leg after a ride. Noticeably today after a lovely ride last night. Have a pic:
Could it be that I've got one side tighter than the other or just not used to engaging my muscles through the entire rotation?
It's too far across my butt cheek to be the saddle.
Any thoughts?
-
Ha! Love that commitment.
-
You have to find the Carrera stickers and Halfords orange rather chucklesome. Still, could be lovely in the right hands.
-
I don't confess to have any market knowledge about this, but I would think that given the higher wear and tear rate of frames (contact with other objects) compared to that of bike and car bodywork; detailed and quality paint jobs would be few and far between. I imagine that kind of work would be reserved for show pieces. Though I could be plain wrong considering I prefer muted solid matt paint jobs.
-
What's bizarre is that the photos seem to have been taken in a secret underground boiler room.

Got the train to Swansea this morning, cycled down to the Gower in the blinding Sun. Impromptu cliff climb with the fixed on my back after getting lost over the Three Cliffs. Got back on the road and headed down to Oxwich bay for some surf. Burnt and broken after those cheeky Welsh hills. Fun though.
Happy hamster cheeks. -
There's a challenge for a 10 kill streak with nothing equipped, no weapon, no perks, no kill streak rewards. Got 9 before but still haven't managed it, think you need someone committed to helping you really.

Fancy lugwork but for the asking price, he must be barking. -
Where's the irony?
I haven't got transport to go pick up another form of transport. Simple.
-
Rad 1980 Ciocc - Dura Ace (1st gen?) - £350, no bids, 1 day left
57cm st, 56cm tt
It's ironic that I can't drive to pick it up. Arse.
-
Ha, it does look ashamed to be there.
-
I backed out too, can't guarantee transport :(
-
Yeah. Good price if you can pick it up.
Not sure the seller knows what he's talking about though, so the frame could be better than he's letting on...Yeah the photo's don't really help a great deal. Wouldn't be easy to collect but wondering if it's worth the effort and subsequent attention. 1hr left!!
-
forkin' 'ell.

Thanks alex. It's a matt paint job, didn't want anything too sparkly. Got it done by a motorbike re-sprayers.
Excellent! My work are doing a London to Paris around the same time, was very tempted but I can't commit. Will be an awesome experience.
