whoa, very nice stuff

 

[Zuerst]

Still some trimming, cutting, and detail pieces to put/switch in... but should look about the same.  Will update when finished.

If I get this job in London I've applied for through a friend who works there I'll be a proper commuter and don't fancy leaving my bike at the station, especially since my hours would be a little different to the 9-5 slog. Love riding though, reckon a folding bike is almost a necessity... can't stand those ones with tiny tyres though but there's not much else to choose from bar the incredible (and expensive) IF Mode bike by Pacific Cycles. Somone buy one for me and I'll shine your shoes for a decade!

I want the black one! Would have to add a seat-post attached mudguard for the back and I'm not sure how I'd do the same for the front but it looks miles better than a Brompton or some such.

All these years and I never checked out the Gear-fi section!  Here's mine.  I have an old mountain bike too, but she's not much to look at anymore.
 

 
 
Nice. I just sold my 2010 R3 due to inflaming some old tendonitis injuries, having bought it with the purpose of doing the race season this coming year. It just didn't make sense to use it as a recovery ride for the next season or two. OTH, Cervelo's handle so beautifully at speed--I really miss it.

 

[oogens]

I have too much bike-fi lol. here's my current road ride though
 

 
Bought the frame about two years ago to make into a fixed gear. After i got a track frame though I stripped off parts and threw the frameset in the garage.
 
Enter road bike i bought a year and a half ago, A lynskey R320 (? unsure, might have been an 310R) came up on ebay for a good price, got that complete. About a week ago though the frame spontaneously split on the top tube, the whole length on both sides. multiple people agreed it was a material defect, but as I was the second owner the frame isn't covered under warranty. Because I don't have the money to buy a new frame, I was kinda crap-outta-luck.
 
Then I remembered i had a spare road frame in the garage, and proceeded to swap all the parts over. I expected it to be super temporary, but it's a lot of fun and I might keep it like this for a while.
 
 
oh, other bikes in the stable include an IRO ss 29er (no current pictures), a peloton keirin bike, and Continuum sweet fixie
