    @ Monkeymonster :

    Yes he does : unless he was riding one of those saddles with a protruding spike?? :wink:

    @ Redvee : I was just starting to pull away from my pal (4th in shot) and I reckon he bribed him with the promise of cake to slow me up!! :)

    Work in progress for the winter commuter - just need to fit the saddle, tweak the gears, change bar tape, turn the stem round,add some spacers and get steerer cut.

    Hmm that looks nice. I'm guessing you got it from ebay? How much did the total build cost?

    It's red and black (picked to match the frame/seatpost/crankarm) from
    http://www.moglo.co.uk/

    I was a bit dubious about the slightly amateurish website, but paid with paypal and it all turned up quickly. As you can see here it all blends in well in the daylight.

    It might be sad but I only got it as I liked the colour lol :) I have also chaged the pedals to run clip on's.

    Already have my next bike in mind and want a Scott Speedster S20 Flat Bar.

    Here is my "silver bullet " ;-)
    Build around Marin Indian Fire Trail '93 frame. On the weekends the slicks are replaced with big Maxxis tyres and the bike transforms into rigid trail beast :)
