Why do you care so much about my bike ? I have chosen what I could afford in a bike part by part & dont really care that it doesnt come up to your specs . I got it all quite cheaply & even got it shipped to OZ as part of a well known rock bands backline touring gear for nothing . I have spent less than £300 all up which I think is alright as a new bike in OZ is about a grand . I did not want or need a classic steel frame here though I'd love to build a classic Aussie Malvern Star .

That's a really interesting finish, quite possibly inspired by the copper coloured rails on the honey brooks. I was going for a black and copper coloured theme on my old bike but found it really hard to find any decent parts copper coloured... this has got to be straight custom chroming... perhaps a little ott imho but still good. Finish kinda distracts from the frame itselfwhich is very fvcking tasty. FSA crankset don't suit it nor does the radial spoke pattern or fork.... Damn! let me have a go
It would be no more expensive than getting parts chromed . This place does it all

RIP to the Cyclist
Everyone is in a rush these days with little regard for their own or others safety
Alls I can say is I also ride a scooter . I have a full car, truck & motorbike license . How many cyclists have a decent knowledge of the rules of the road ?
Any Cyclist that runs a red etc IS AT FAULT
I believe anyone that undertakes is entirely at fault though there is a grey area with cyclists due to their relatively slow speed & a vehicle that overtakes a cyclist & then turns left should take notice of what they have overtaken ..... it doesnt always happenTrucks & buses do have blind spots ...... stay the hell out of them
Trucks will never be banned from central London as they are the lifeline of businesses .

Check out the London Tattoo Convention this weekend fro Friday to Sunday at Tobacco Dock . It has moved from the Truman Brewery in Brick lane as it got too kaotic there
http://www.thelondontattooconvention.com/
Best advice is to get there early on Friday to find the artist that you like & book asap . Beware - it gets busy
Link was pulled because my bike is not anti-porn to me & I could haha . It was unfinished on my bed like it was in state of undress . Bikes dont look that good when they are half built .
Anyway .... who gives a fuck ! I'm off for a beer ..... fucking bikes
