Pictures of your Bike

Brian Rourke, 1983. 
Just had some new wheels so given a it a thorough clean and taken a photo for the scrapbook. Also swapped the rear mech from a PAT 74 to PAT 84. Got to move with the times, haven't you. 
Largely used for commuting. Hence the need for new wheels. And use of a good saddle. 
Occasional outings into The Peaks. 
 

New bike day!

I just used my Brompton to pick up this Trek District 4 equipped. I was going to build something like this myself, but this ticked nearly all the boxes as built.

Dynamo powered lighting
Full mudguards
Belt drive
Internal hub (8 speed Alfine)

The only change I plan to make soon is maybe cut down the bars. As supplied they are over 68 cm, which just seems ludicrously wide for a city bike.

My personal bicycle realized, as I do for my customers, entirely handmade.

This is my Super Light Steel Frame Bicycle completely handmade by Forgione Telai

Super Light 6.4kg Racing Bike: Customized frame in Columbus steel with the Silver Fillet Brazed technique and components to go even under the lower limit weight suitable for competitions
 

The limit weight to participate in the races, what you imagined could only be approached with a carbon frame, the fateful 6.8 kg, you can have them with a complete bike with a steel frame!

You can also have a bike that weighs less than 6.8kg but made with a Forgione steel frame!

New 46t chainset installed.  A home respray of the ice green 1983/4 model. 

My daily commute bike (tbf it is my only bike) - a Voodoo Limba.

23km a day. Up to 4,700km since new.
Put anti-puncture tyres on it, mud guards and clipless pedals.

It's been great for my commute - I was only supposed to cycle a few days a week, but I've been doing five days a week for a year and a half now. Never want to go back to driving!

Just picked up this little beauty. A little delayed waiting for the various accessories (delayed by the flooding in Italy apparently).

My Specialized Tarmac SL7 bought as a comp but upgraded beyond a pro. SRAM Force AXS, Zipp Firecrest 303, Seciazed Aero Bars.

Summer build 1 - Ribble 753, home made wheels. 

Summer build ii - Viner Super Professional respray

Garage bike? The sort of seller your mother warned you about? This is the cockpit of a Barracuda Team Replica, donated to the Repair Cafe. 700x23s with schrader valves, 7x3 gears and, er these twist grip shifters.  The stem seems stuck, I've had the bolt right out, given it a bash or two.

ebike for office commute & other local errands...

Rack, mudguards, built-in powered lights & radar, belt drive, automatic hub gears, suspension seatpost & fork.

Ti all the way...

Here's my Specialized Chisel...

and here's my Specialized Diverge

Best !

Wow, all the bikes are amazing. I like them. 

I won this bike in a raffle from a local beer distributor just over six years ago. It's a branded version for Chicago's Goose Island Brewery, for their 312 Urban Wheat Ale. It may look like aluminium with its oval down tube, but it's a steel frame, seat post, and bar.

It is a flip-flop single speed that I run on the non-fixed side. I geared it down a little so I can climb all the local hills, and added a rear brake, toe clips, and straps. The bottle cage and pump are on a TwoFish Quick Cage Adapter, as this frame has not a single braze-on. It's a lot of fun and I've put just over 1000 4500 miles on it. It weighs just under 30 lb. Rear bag is a Sackville.

The bike is a custom version of this $300-$400 (£225-£300) mail-order bike.

Looks like they've done a lot of other corporate branding, too. Anyone fancy an AUDI? You're automatically exempt from signalling your turns when you ride it, and other cyclists have to move out of your way.

Recently overhaul

My Spa Audax 2017 build. Ultegra, home-built wheels, running Gator Skins.
Sorry for the ungainly pose, but it decided to stand up by itself when I was doing a post ride rub down. 

my 2014 Genesis Equilibrium commuter. It was originally metallic dark grey with a green and yellow stripe - I had it resprayed by Mercian; decals by Ebay.

2001 Terraliner: main transport & touring.

New winter bike! I bought this Spesh Allez Sprint Comp frame as 'new other' from a chap in St Albans in December 2020, then we locked down and it was months before I could organise to get it... Over the spring I built it up with an old Athena group I had off the commuter I no longer needed since we all started WfH, and some Pacenti rims handbuilt on nice old Campag hubs. Then we were supposed to go back to the office so I bought mudguards as a commuter, and then we didn't go back to the office after all.

Anyway, in December 2021 I signed up for the Festive 500, so I finally put the mudguards on and rode it  through mud, fog, rain, fords, bridleways and tracks over the last week to complete the 500. To sum up: this has proved to be a brilliant fun bike, stiff and lively, with plenty of clearance for guards and bigger tyres, and it absolutely flies. Who said winter bikes had to be boring?
