I do quite like that ^^^^ - I always think it looks half old-tech, and half new with its discs and mud-guards etc

Just about the only pic of my racer that I have. under-exposed and rather crap

Ill get a better one sometime...


id de-badge it, if I could (they feel more painted-on than stuck-on)

Better pic!

Did I accidentally sit on your crossbar?! lol why does it have that wierd kink in it?!

Heap O Junk...

Only the larger Scalpel sizes have the top tube kink back up after the low point; most of them go horizontally back to the seat tube, which does look better. Its probably to do with better clearance...

The really nice retro-styled bike that was stolen from me (foreground):


Current ride, much heavier, much clunkier, less sexy

Seat has changed from when the photo was taken to a royalgel one and there are aerobars fitted to the handlebars now.

Still thinking of replacing the tyres with something more roadgoing.

Serious, I took a look at Wiggle and Halfords sites. City bike tires are shockingly overpriced in the UK. :shock: Over here you can get a set of really nice city slicks for under 5 pounds each, as somebodys always got them on sale. Ive had great luck with these. Wonder what shipping to the UK is.

Badabing, youre making me covet a classic Rolls. Good stuff.

Ive noticed that too :shock:

Thats why Im still looking

I just got me some Vittoria Zaffiros for Ã,£3.50 each.  Bargainous  

Greg, where on earth is that picture taken (with your girl cannondale )

i may have to bring my SS up there and lay the smack down on those hills...

that scenery has got me aroused.  :whoops:

My Girly Dale has an extra long frontal movement

Streetmap

The hill in the background is Beinn Challum. There are a lot of glens on approaches to hills where you can drive so far and then theres a landrover track many miles further, sometimes rideable sometimes not! Probably the classic one would the the way into the southern Cairngorms via Glen Derry, north from Braemar..

i am seriously tempted to blast up there and check it out, it looks crackin.

So there are places to ride up there i.e. trails and not just quick runs?

If so, is there anywhere inhabited round there i could stay (hotels, hostels etc.)?
